A junction box and connector arrangement for jump starting an automotive vehicle comprises a junction box of one-piece thermoplastic construction, a stud and a cap fastener. The junction box has a box-like body provided with an integrally hinged flap and an integrally hinged cover. The stud is inserted into the box-like body through an aperture in the bottom wall and retained by closing the flap. The flap also insulates the stud so it can be used as a hot connector. Cable terminals are secured to the stud by the cap fastener which serves as a connector for a conventional jumper cable clamp when jump starting is required. The open top of the body is normally closed by the hinged cover to protect the hot connector.
