    MEP-802A Popping CB1 as Soon as the Unit is Switched to Pump/Prime

    I just use a flat cut piece of 1/4" rodent mesh and ( 8 ) self tapping sheet metal screws and just go over the entire cutout with the machine lofted for easy bottom access. I've recently begun using aluminized tape on the round battery holes under the trays, when machines sit without batteries...

    The primary mission of that cutout is to quickly evacuate water from the engine bay, under fording conditions. It will also allow for fresh air during use to pass through the system... but I believe there is sufficient cubic footage available solely through the side vents to keep everything...

    Which also brings to mind that your alternator may also not be working properly to recharge the cells under use. You should take the batteries somewhere they can be properly tested.

    The cutout under the engine is about 6" x 6"... a rodent superhighway into the machine. Especially under the conditions you have it installed.

    I use 1/4" hardware cloth and self tapping sheet metal screws for the large cutout under the engine. Can do the same over the side vent inlets if you want for extra coverage (mice are assholes). For the battery drain holes they are covered when the batteries are in place, but using some self...

    You can also unplug the AUX pump, as well as the double float in the rear tank (and the rear fender switch... but thats almost NEVER the culprit). Just unplug one at a time and see if you can find the problem. If none of those give you the AH-HA, then you need to start verifying wire numbers...

    The schematics have the wire number and alphanumeric on them on all diagrams (see below). They only lack the two trailing numbers (which are the gauge of the wire, and irrelevant to the layout purpose of the schematics). For example below... the wires involved with the MT4 are 112B, 112A, 159A...
