[RE-wrenches] Trace SW repair assistance

[Jay]

I recommend opening up the inverter and remove the fan wires. 
Then hook up some ac muffin fans to the right side so they turn on when the generator runs. 
Close off all the rest of the openings on right side. 
I e done this for failed internal fans. 

Usually they only need the fans during charging. 

It’s a quick and inexpensive fix vs boards and potential shipping and down time.
