Asked by Guru2RYGQ Mar 03, 2020 at 12:35 PM about the 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I haven't been driving the car for approx. 3 to 4 weeks and the battery is dead, I
have a battery charger/maintainer, how do I hook that up to the battery? Where
is the car battery located, not the high voltage one.

Just found it. I am used to cars 1997 and earlier. Same as BMW the battery is located in the trunk. Charging it while disconneted due to the power draw from all the electonics. The relay at the engine compartment left side is clicking due to the electronic power draw while charging. Not good when you depend on all electronics. I still prefer cars earlier than 1997 because your life is not controlled by it.
