    well behind the step up into the cab should be a flat plastic piece where the batteries are wingnuts to remove that cover maybe

    My Freightliner has a positive jump lug under the hood. Maybe it's there.

    To get to the battery's you have to undo the four bolts on the drivers side fairing 5/8 I believe. Or there is a jump post on the frame rail under the hood on most 660s I've worked on

    Just trace the red cable from the starter, you will eventually find the batteries.

    If you can't find the terminals, you probably should not be attempting the procedure.

    Sorry to say.
