Battery Tender harness location
Are there a set of terminals in the engine bay to attach a Battery Tender harness? I know the battery is located in the trunk but I don't want to leave the trunk open while it's connected.

I have attached my battery tender by using the included hardwire kit. I then connect the tender unit and place the unit outside behind the car. I then close the trunk place a cotton towel on the rear bumper to protect the paint from the cord and plug in. I've used this application two winters now with great sucess.

dont know about terminal connect under the hood for your model. generally, if
the battery is in trunk, then trunk access only. if it's under the seat, then there
is usually a "+" terminal near hinge on driver side.
to extinguish trunk light with lid open, try pulling the plunger/switch outwards

I would think...
that you would use the terminal under the hood. On my car, you connect jumper cables across that terminal (+) and the lift ring on the block as a ground.
