    Which interlock switch? The inverter or HV battery? If it was the HV battery interlock, how on Earth did it disengage?

    and how do you own and drive a car, and suddenly the interlock switch comes undone without you knowing it?(n)

    Your next step is to buy and install a replacement 12V battery.

    that's very interesting. on my '08, i don't recall seeing the battery interconnect switch in the spare tyre area? maybe i just never noticed it. you may want to look at another to compare and see if you're missing any covers/housings.
