Exclamation Ran over charging cable with snowblower. Help an Idiot!
Like an idiot, not paying attention, I ran over the charging cable with my snowblower. It got caught, wire was partially cut, but I got it out and then I replaced the cable. It won't charge. I replaced some fuses that I googled to find were related and now the charging cable has the "charging" light lit on where it was not doing that before I changed the fuse. However, it is still not charging. The error on the console says "Not able to charge" or something similar. What else could it be beyond fuses (all the ones I changed were in the engine fuse box) and what can I do...perferably on my own.

Thank you! I did this yesterday. Sadly I still get the Not able to Charge error message. I was pretty sure it wasn't the New charging cable but thought it good to try at a public working station.

Great! - I'm sometimes not so good at fixing stuff but feel I'm really good at finding the resources/smart folks to help me! Hope they can help you over there.
