Steve,
Read the owners manual for the inverter for specific instructions on connecting and disconnecting the cables. I think you have a Xantrex, but the Magnum’s have the reverse sequence that you normally use, so that you don’t ground the large amperage connection through the control panel. In other words, it’s negative first, positive last for connection. There is another guru, and his helpers, that possibly cooked an inverter by not being aware of the manufacturer’s recommendation.
I don’t know if that is the case with yours, but it will only take a minute to consult the manual.
