Inverter generator hack? Two blue wires.

Recently I had to pull the case off to replace the fuel pump, and I discovered a loose connector containing two blue wires coming from the inverter. The connector has two female slots arranged in a T.

Any guesses, or outright knowledge, as to what these two wires might be for?

Not an outright knowledge but a calculated guess (if you will) because I'm not familiar with your equipment.

The thing that you did was remove the cover to replace the pump. You did not mention however that you reinstalled the cover and subsequently started the unit.

I'm assuming you left the cover off trying to figure out what those blue wires are for.
Look at the side that faces the inside and see if you can find a "T" shape tab. This is the tab that mates with the T slot.

This is an anti-intrusion interlock that will prevent any electrical or moving part from coming contact with the operator--meaning you have to have the cover in place before you can operate the machine.

Do let us know what you come up with. . . I'm here to learn also.
Cheers.
