There's a fuse. Check in the area near below the steering or the fuse box in engine compartment by battery. I can't remember which one, but it's labeled.

OK, Thanks I'll check the book. That would suck if I poped the fuse & did not know how to reset it. Are you sure there isn't a reset button?

I have not seen, nor heard of any reset button for the inverter.

Make sure the button on the dash is NOT engaged when you start the engine.

Thanks, I know enough to check the draw on the item I'm plugging in. Just wanted to be sure if there was some kind of reset in between the outlet & the fuse box. Thanks..

Wouldn't you have to be holding it in for it to be engaged when you turn the key? The button is not a toggle type.

According to the manual, you want it in the off position (light off) when starting. Not sure why this is set up thos way. Kinda weird.

You also have to be aware you won't get the full 400w from the inverter unless you are in Park or Neutral. It drops to 100w once you've moved the transmission lever. At that point, you have to turn the inverter off, put your rig back in Park or Neutral and then turn the inverter back on.
