automobile fuse that says"40" on top and on the solder side says "40A
32V". I checked from this side and it has continuity,plus the element
in it appears solid.

That is the fuse but there is probably also a circuit breaker on the
back panel. If tripped a small blade will pop out. What model is it?- Hide quoted text -

The model is; "Professional Powercell" s/n; C94093679593 and yes,
it has the little blade that says "push,reset" around it (which I
did). Maybe this thing is toast,but I don't quit on stuff very easily.
Thx. BrianA
