Abstract
A bussed electrical center (BEC) has a lateral appendage for a positive battery terminal to be used for jump starting purposes. A cover for the terminal is hingedly attached to the lateral appendage of the BEC by way of a relatively rotatable axle and bearing combination as well as facially abutting complemental locking surfaces each having alternatively raised and unraised sectors which interfit in each of two locking positions 180 degrees apart so that the cover can be locked fully open or fully closed.
