yes that still runs it thru battery

Yes sure. Positive will connet to the battery pole (coverred with a red cap), for the gegative you'll find a PIN on the left of the battery and it is screwed close to the inner fender. For the rest the routine is as usual.

On mine the PIN is hidden but it's close to the 2 wires of my internal lighning system wires ( right to the black switch)

um yea. How did you get a leather pouch? All I got was a zip lock baggie. I had to find a custom made one on eBay for mine.

Yeah, me, too, I didn't get no stinking pouch!

No one got it from GM it from some one else.

Glad to see someone give the simple answer to use the positive red post as pictured above?\!
I did see someone post where to find the negative terminal and I found that to be the better spot on the drivers fender also.
Look not everyone will rtfm (Read the F'n Manual) as we IT folks put it.
And I see no reason to tell folks that is their malfunction.

Very simple process. Attach your red/positive handle to the battery post that has the red top on it, then attach the black/negative handle to the ground. You will find a ground post on the driver's side inner fender, adjacent to the cold air box. Refer to attached picture. Sorry, I forgot, in this picture, it has been relocated inside the cold air box. This is relative to the V-8's. Not sure where it is located on the V-6's.

You can hook up your battery tender in the same manner. There have been other posts where members who have their car parked for long periods, feed the battery tender wires from under the car, into the engine compartment.

Hope this helps.
