Is there any way to get a 12v connection to the battery in the engine compartment? I know the battery is in the trunk. I also know there is a extension that sticks up near the fuse box that can be used to jump start the car but it doesn't seem to be outputting any energy when I touch wires to it. Is that not what it's used for? Thanks!
Constant 12v Source in Engine compartment?

The fusebox under the hood has a ton of constant 12v power going to it. That jumper post should have 12v all the time and is the easiest to use. Did you test it with a multimeter or lightblub?
I don't own MM and I'm pretty ignorant to all this stuff. When i tried to hook up the pole was larger than the connector so I just electric taped it to it and got no power. I sorta just asumed it wasn't going to work.(probably not smart) It had a hoop connector. Should I just cut that and use the wire? Will that give power?
Thanks for replying!

If you have a ring terminal, you can just unscrew the pole with a 10mm and put it on the stud underneath. Should get you 12v.
If you don't have a MM, how are you determining that you don't have any power at that pole?

Sure thing. Mind you don't screw that back on too hard. It's only held into plastic.
