Re: (ET) CB-2 circuit breaker does not reset

Well, sounds like it's related to hooking up the charger controller.  Is it
ok when the controller connections are removed? If so then must be 
something
about your hookup. So I guess questions are:

- Is it ok with controller connections removed?
- If so then then exactly how did you hook the controller?
