    For other people that might work, in general or not it won’t work for me specifically because where I park my car cannot reach an interior working outlet.
    Calm down. I was just explaining to you why your suggestion won’t work for me. I’m sure it’ll be useful for others.

    I feel like that should be the Official slogan for 2020.

    Update: I finally got it charged and turned on. Drove a mile and voltage stayed above 14. Checked the inverter overflow thing while car on. 62B459DD-3AFD-47C4-9F60-2542A6F7F87E.png

    I tried to upload a video but I couldn’t. Yeah, there is zero movement. Now, I’m trying to find the fuse that controls it.

    Seems like I hear "AM2" mentioned a lot in pump-related stories.

    On the other hand, I don't think I've often heard the fuse is the culprit in the story. Seems it's usually the pump that goes south, and if the fuse is blown, it's because the pump took it out.

    I’m wondering how to tell if it’s the pump or the inverter.

    Bad pump. Pull the bumper down like Luscious.

    Bumper pull down works great real fast then you pull the headlight assy out and the pump is right there for the taking.

    Your going to need that technique anyway to change the bulbs in the headlights eventually. The secret to the bumper is the hidden little bolt that holds the edge of the bumper on. Its inside the wheel well very close to the seam where the bumper meets the fender.
    Once that bolt is out and the top bolts are out just pull on the bumper seam it will pop right out.

    Only caveat is at this age of the car where everything is old and brittle it will almost certainly break the little plastic pins on the black plastic track that grips the bumper seam. You cannot get the headlight assy out without pushing the bumper down.

    Ive heard of people on this site that got the pump out without removing the headlight assy but looks very hard.
