I very well might have to bite the bullet and take it in, but I feel like I'm so close to figuring this out. Maybe if I can prove that the motor is broken I won't have to go bypassing stuff. There isn't anything on the circuit diagram about a voltage controller for a BLDC or VFD. Would it be...

Yeah, I thought of that and my intention was to run its 10 amp fuse between it and the battery. And it's not part of the high voltage traction motor / battery cell system. It's run off of the same 12 volt car battery system as the head lights and radio. Shouldn't installing a fuse and using...
