Not on the plaid, no. I recall reading that there are some leads buried under the nose somewhere, but you might need to try your luck with the search function.
there is a positive and negative connection under the hood, put it on those didnt do anything when plugged in. does the 12v control the screen inside, or does the main battery, i even contacted electrified garage rich rebuilds people and they said they havent fixed a plaid yet.

Whoa boy. You bit off quite the project, didn’t you. As far as I’m aware, the car doesn’t have fuses outside of the pyro fuse in the high voltage battery pack (which may have blown).

First thing to do is to apply ~15v (greater than 12v, yes) with at least a 20amp service on the 12v emergency connections at the front bumper to power the low voltage system. That may get the computers to boot. The lithium 16v (not 12v!) system won’t charge unless from the high voltage pack with contractors closed. In other words, I think you have a helluva project going but start with low voltage.

First, you're gonna need a steak knife. ;) (apologies up front that post may not be helpful)

Long, I mean L O N G thread here . . . Tons of You-tube videos to sort through. . . super entertaining though:

Hey bud I’m going to try this your saying connect it to the connections that open the frunk correct all I have is a 12v battery charger I put it on 50amp charge

Thats not corewct. The leads under the bunper are to pop the hood only! Anyway. I have fixed 5 dlooded plaids so far. Hit me up if you want help. Not for free obviously.

This might work?
