Default help me out here....

what exactly is the purpose of these plugs on this hatch?
been driving me and my bud`s crazy...

we finally agreed those where inputs to start the car without battery so it runs on the alternator... so weight is saved by not needing a battery.
either that or the owner is trying to bullshit us

maybe someone knows the whole story about this hatch , also has plugs on the trunk i think.


thanks in advance for not calling me a noob

Battery is hidden in fenderwell, thats the new plugs you use to jump it because you cant see the posts on the battery. usually where the filter is on a CAI

That's a very clean hatch.

I would assume since I can't see the battery in his engine bay that he did a complete wire tuck and either hid the battery inside the car and ran external cable to the location that you see the posts or hid the battery behind the front bumper on that side of the car by customizing a bracket and using a smaller battery. Those are external posts use to jump the car for ease purposes.

That's the battery's jump-terminals. The battery is placed in the bumper/fenderwell area for better traction due to weight distribution.

yes, i was thinking fuel but now as i look there is no actual kill switch. youll see these posts in the rear of some car's with the battery located in the trunk.
