    Oh my!

    How have you routed the jumper cables?

    They just run on the floor on the right side of the pass seat. It's a "temporary" arrangement. (I don't have any rear seats or any rear interior panels at all to make more room for cargo, long story.)
    A wife would yell, but I don't have that problem.

    Oh, you've run them back to the battery in the back?

    When said this up-thread:
    I interpreted you to mean the front jumper point, which a lot of people mislabel 'the battery in the front'.

    That makes more sense now.

    Yes, the jumper cables run from a wrong battery that's in front of the pass seat to the back. (I forget what size battery, walmart sold it to me used for $20.xx+$10 core. They supposedly installed it in some car because the guy had to have a battery that night for an emergency and then the guy came back a few days later demanding a full refund because it wasn't technically the right battery.)
