The run switch is in the off position but the fuel pump is still getting power. Also, the load breaker switch light is illuminated.
Mep 005a has been in regular use, normal power-down/shut-off yesterday. I always open the breaker and verify the light goes out before I stop the engine.
Exercised both switches, tried battle mode and worked the switches again for fun, no change.
Started the generator and it operated normally. I did not verify the breaker was actually closed, just that the indicator light was illuminated. As I expected with the fuel pump powered, I had to use the emergency stop to shut down.
The back of the control panel looks normal, clean, and dry - now getting ready to test switches and chase wires. Doubtful it’s simultaneous failure of two switches so I’m expecting to find a stuck relay and/or low voltage backfeed to the run switch. (?)
Didn’t see threads or TM troubleshooting topics for this issue - thanks for any advice, apologies in advance if I’m overlooking previous discussion. Thanks!
