    So now I have got the giant Check Hybrid System with ALL of the dash lights on and the car won't do anything but turn on. I don't know what to do. I did this while the 12v battery was still connected as I didn't even think of it. I am getting ready to replace the motor and now I've been hit with this gem of a problem.


    Does anyone have any insight into this problem?

    Did you perform all three steps to inserting the safety plug?

    Push it in
    Lift the handle, which pulls it in further
    Push straight down to lock it and satisfy the interlock

    Many people forget the very last step. Without it, the car thinks the safety disconnect is still removed.

    Straight down? This one is a sideways motion.
