Quiz

OK class, now that we are all playing nicely in the sandbox together, there will be an Owner's Manual quiz in the morning. :yikes:

Hmmmmmmm

There are no dumb questions. Just because we get used to crazy stuff, it is still crazy stuff! Perfect example: "to change the oil in a 2014 RT, begin by removing the right mirror"!!!!
To the OP, just ask. The alternatives are to pay a shop to do everything, do nothing, or read and learn to do things yourself. I learn a lot here, and have met or know most of the folks who replied. I have a feeling you will fit right in! Joe

Here's a picture of what your battery access door looks like and is a little clearer than the one on page 131 of the 2014 manual. The two access bolts are on the left and right sides of the picture that, in this case also has a Bluetooth dongle on a bracket that is held in place by the access bolts. The double strand wire hanging down from the upper center of the door is the battery tender pigtail that is bolted to the battery terminals.

Interesting, I have a 2013RT and my Battery is in the left rear compartment.

I found it. Another example of over thinking something. I was trying to figure out how to remove the zippered cover, when all I had to do was unzip it and take out the two screws and remove plastic cover.

When you reinstall the cover. If not done correctly water will leak water in the front trunk.
Place the cover flat against the opening 1/2 inch high and slide down into place. The 2 side tabs will catch and seal the cover.
Many people like to hook the bottom tabs first and swing the cover into place. This causes a gap on both sides of the cover and it will leak.
