Hi Ron, part of the problem at first is since the small battery was disconnected (I know I recommended that over the phone to see if you can drive the car), the codes and freeze frame were all clear. The hybrid battery didn't have a code but was giving 0 voltage instead of 300+ (on the scanner and manually while bypassing safety switches). I tested individual relays manually, and one of them didn't open up. I couldn't find any bad batteries anywhere to get parts from, so I suggested getting a used battery to get it over with. Since then, the hybrid battery gives 300v and that issue was resolved.
After hybrid battery install July 4th, before ordering inverter

After used inverter was in and after GM's service programming July 12th

Final scan with the used inverter containing the old inverter's chip that includes the original vin number, confirming the newer inverter is communicating and installed correctly but the old inverter's board is what was defected bringing back the code P0C76. Picture of board and codes below:

There were several other hiccups like the low power issues that the car was lying about (out of humor, since the small battery was not always low) ...etc that added more time.
Attached is what a customer was quoted a couple months ago, but we changed a used one for them instead.
As discussed, I don't want you to feel pressured to spend more money with us since we have our car. This is not the way we do business.
You have the option to buy the part yourself, you have the option to get your car back, and you have the option of having a third party validate or check the work that is done.
One thing to keep in mind, the invert-er is a special order is not available in stock anywhere I called. 2-day shipping option starts after the part is delivered from GM.
