Had To Help Out A Hemi !

I was going to visit my wife in the hospital yesterday, guess what, dead battery ? Must have left something on ? Now with a dead battery you can’t open the rear hatch. Had to connect the cables to a hot post under the hood, then open the hatch and reconnect directly to the big ass battery. The Green Hornet saved the day.

????

There is a manual release on the inside of the hatch with a cover over it. The rear seats fold down and you can crawl back there.
Why not just start the engine from the post under the hood? It's closer to the starter motor.
If the car has the organizer under the rear floor deck, the battery is about three layers down.

Looking for hidden compartments and crawling around to get in the back was not what I wanted to do. It would not start when I used the under hood post. Nice looking RT you have. Mine is completely stock.
