I know there's a positive post under the hood to be used if I ever need to jump my Viper off, but my question is what if I ever need to disconnect the negative cable (to do something electrical for example)? My battery is in the rear driver side quarter panel. Is there a shortcut or do I really have to remove the rear wheel and splash shield to access the negative terminal?

I would always remove the ground at the battery. The remote terminals do not kill the power to everything. You could disconnect under the hood and still fry things.

Disconnecting the post under the hood DEFINITELY does not disconnect the battery. Trust me...I found out.

Would be a nice mod to cut a hole in the splash shield and install a rubber donut like the one in front of the wheel to access the facia coolant tank.
