It sounds like a weak area on those ECM units, so many connections. I suppose under the driver seat keeps it away from the elements for the most part. For the reconditioned units I started reading about flashing the PROM, that’s a chip I think, and gave up for now. Too much technojargon for that late in the day.
Hey computer, what condition is your condition in? As Sternwake mentions he got a reconditioned unit with some conditions. And then who can do the flashing from the old ECM to the reconditioned ECM?. I’ve never asked a shop about it. A spare ECM is not much use if it doesn’t work right.
The connectors on electrical are a big issue I’m realizing. I’m not satisfied with the power in connector on the Victron Energy control panel. For such an expensive unit that was disappointing.
I saw some of those inline watt meters on Amazon where someone installed powerpole connectors and is selling them for 4 times the price of the meter.
