I just (after about 20 or so tries) slowly push the cable in and pushed the bracket in to the lock position and haven't had an issue. You definitely have to go slow and be patient.
How did you disconnect the negative terminal of the battery under the hood? I removed the cover and the nut just doesn't budge and the bloody wiper cover on top makes it harder. Any tips?

Also, just the negative terminal needs to be unplugged on both batteries, correct or both terminals on both batteries?
