- Turn inverter up and around so you can work with it easiest
- Remove wire clamp and plate
- TAKE IMAGES WITH CAMERA of screws and wire colors inside hole where plate was removed
- Are the wires labelled? Hot or L Neutral? Ground?

- Does the terminal block have a label LOAD? Those are the wires you want to remove, fold back then tape........................Time to test. Reconnect the load wires
- If unit has two sets of AC wires. TAPE THEM BOTH UP
- Reconnect battery
- Turn inverter on
- Does it still overheat? If yes, it goes to the recycling center.
