Story I read on facebook may apply here.
the author installed a 2-way radio in his car and it did not work
upon inspection he had wired the thing backwards hookign the red wire to the negative terminal on the battery and the black to positive. the protection devices in the radio worked. a fuse blew. He replaced fuse and re-wired and all is good.. NOTE I have another of that same radio.
It may be the bad hookup of batteries toasted the inverter
Or it may have toasted a fuse.. Pray it was the fuse. way cheaper .
Now I do not have that model inverter but on my Freedom XC 2000 the fuse is next to the 12 volt connections INSIDE the unit.
