i read so previous posts and well hmmm? thats all i can say. anyways i have the same terminals now the way i did it was . used a 4 guage quick disconnect off of my battery than located the quick disconnect on the wheel fender inside the hood. than took a bunch or 4 guage jumper cables cut one set of alligator clips off and attached the other side of quick disconnect so now my cables will only work with my car. or tow trucks that have the same cable connection. the connectors are like 10 bucks a peice plus some 4 guage wire to hook it up to battery. terminals available at

What do all of the wires go to ?. Does one go to the starter or to the factory fuse block ?. You could tap off of there if it's large enough. Does one go to an underhood fuse which then goes to you audio equipment ?. You could tap in there. The one for a ground if you use one of the disconnects talked about or with the Moroso jumper studs you could just go to the engine block.

Just a comment, not an answer: if you find you frequently need to jump-start your car, your electrical system is overloaded and/or defective. If you have friends who frequently need a jump, then the same is true of their vehicles. I suggest a AAA membership.

In my '95 Saturn SL2 the main power wire coming from my battery is connected the the fuse box by a large bolt. When jumping from that car I clamp directly onto that bolt instead of the battery itself because it clamps more securley there. Do you have something like that? All I have to do is pull of the cover to my fuse box and the bolt is easily accessable.
