The common items to check (and work arounds) when failure to initate is the problem are:
1 Parking break switch - adjust or replace (very common problem)
2 charger interlock - pull wires and jumper (rare problem)
3 Little black interlock relay next to main contactor - pull wires and jumper (common problem)
4 ignition switch - pull wires and jumper (rare BUT the wires sometimes fall off the switch)
5 BDI problem unplug communication cable from controller (extreemly rare)
These items are daisy chained and all have to be right to power the controller on.
