Anyway, I'm going to run a wire from the battery to just inside the front grille with an insulator cap on it. Then, if for some reason in the future I need to put juice to the car and can't lget the hood up, I'm all set!
But can you open the car door with the fuse #26 out? That is the big question, if you can then there is no need for the wire, let us know the answer. Inquiring minds .....
If you cannot why not?
