Hi, I just came across this weird wiring thing pointing out of the front grill that is just eating at me. Can anyone identify it and tell me what it is? I feel like it may be a for the battery or something but I may be completely wrong.
Definitely the quick disconnect for a battery tender, but - it's missing the protective cover. You can see how corroded the terminals have become. Corrosion and electrical stuff - never a good thing. In the pic below of a compatible extension cable you can see the cap on one end.
100% it's a battery tender hook up. Useless if you don't have the other half of the connector. I modified mine to run a magnetic pigtail instead of that style.
Everybody calls that an SAE connector. Supposedly there is and SAE spec for it but I've never found the spec.“The SAE connector is a hermaphrodite two-conductor DC connector commonly used for solar and automotive applications (also motorcycles). It is so named for the Society of Automotive Engineers who created its specifications.” — Wikipedia
I daily drive the car don't really think I'll be using it much but I will definitely purchase a cover of some sort it along with the charger. Thank you everyone for your fast responses.
