Thanks Burg. I tried on other car Lead battery land works fine.
Curious, can I use a charger that says 6A charge/3A maintain but splice in a connector so I can go through cigarette lighter? The one I have adapts to lead or AGM.
Thanks.

To close this, I got frunk open. The battery is lead and the cable was located in right wheel well under the bottom of the light on the side closest to the body. It was tucked a little under the light.
The issue was the black plastic tab I dropped when I put the bumper back on. It was in the hood latch mechanism. The electric motor is fine. Anyhow, just need to get liner back in and this is over. I put tape on end of cable to make finding easier in the future. I Will relocate wire next time bumper is off. Thanks all for the help.

Glad your issue is resolved.

Yes, you can splice in a cigarette lighter connector; thought you already had one? From what I found on quick search is your maintainer has standard SAE plug connector. I would keep that in tact and just buy the accessory(ies) you want. They are readily available on that a-mazon site - along w extensions).

That said, I know cigarette light port is convenient but understand this just introduces a potential fail point (i.e. fuse issue you experienced). Why not just use eyelets on battery terminals connections w a nice SAE plug pigtail? Then you're directly connected and likely leave hood just so slightly ajar. That site also sells many number SAE to SAE extensions in various lengths should you need...

Good luck
