The rain finally let up yesterday, and I performed the "Hard Reset." This consisted of removing the 7.5A fuse from the display panel, completely disconnecting the battery, and removing the T1 fuse from the transfer switch. It obviously had an effect, but I'm puzzled by the results. The display went dark after downing all avenues of power (as you'd expect). Reconnecting everything showed the previous errors gone, and "entering Install Wizard." My hopes rose, only to be dashed when I was offered English as the language, hit Enter, and nothing happened. Indeed, nothing happens when any of the buttons are pressed. We had gotten a Mobile Link message that Schedule A maintenance was due (change oil & filter/check battery). I changed the oil & filter, and Mobil Link now says Low Battery. I ordered a replacement, which is due Wednesday. Communication from Generac has gone dark, presumably due to the weekend, and here we sit with $10+K of inert junk praying we don't have another power outage. The only thing that comes to mind is maybe the controller is failing, which sounds like warranty territory to me. I'll keep you posted.
