I read the owner's manual and looked under the hood. I don't see a positive remote post and the pics attached show the battery area with the cover on and cover off. The negative post is near the bottom of the pic (the front of the jeep) and positive is near the top. Am I missing something here, I just don't see it. Didn't notice another post anywhere in the engine compartment either. Manual says it's by the battery. Pics got rotated, so the firewall (top as I took it) is to the left.

All those colored blocks are fuses. jump on the out put side and you'll blow them. Doug Would it be the red, green, blue, or purple area circled? Purple is the actual battery terminal and not sure a jumper cable end can get into there. Red and blue look small, like a side post and should work. I was actually thinking it was the green when I first looked at it.
