Possible Causes
Loose control wiring connector, Overheating of control module, Failing relay or safety switch, Vibration causing intermittent sensor contact
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn the generator OFF and disconnect battery power before handling control wiring.
- Inspect control harness: Gently tug on each connector at the Genergy controller, sensors, and relays. Reseat any loose plugs.
- Check for heat damage: Look for discolored or melted insulation near hot components. Reroute or shield wiring as needed.
- Secure wiring: Use cable ties and clamps to prevent wires from vibrating against sharp edges.
- Monitor with cover off: Run the generator with the enclosure open (if safe) and gently tap on harnesses to see if shutdown can be induced, helping locate the intermittent connection.
