Understand,, the bunk, TV, and ref outlets are usually rated for about 5 amps... to use the 400 watt inverter you will need to use the cigarette socket in front. (rated 20-30amps)

25 watts TV will not work on a 100 watts inverter?

I'm not sure if I want to try it again, or is it 100% safe once the red wire from the ground is disconnected from the broken inverter? -
Have your shop do it before you burn the dang truck down.

You probably shorted our your inverter.
Red does not go to ground BTW..

Did anyone one here read that he is referring to a TV from the 21st century? An LED basically has no surge...your inverter has issues. I have a 100w SIMA hooked up to my Vizio 23" LED with no issues whatsoever. I have even had my laptop plugged into the inverter at the same time as the TV as well, again, with no issues.
Now, I did have a small 13" CRT style TV from the time of the Crusades plugged into it, and it would 'turn on' 5-6 times before it could actually power up, from the power surge/warm up of the prehistoric TVs -

ok, just one more stupid question and I'm done asking, when I tried to clamp the battery clamp to the wire while it is still connected to that already broken inverter, the smoke come out, I mean further damage to that inverter is no big deal because it is already broken, I'm afraid that I might have damaged the battery in any ways? Is it possible to blow a fuse or damage the battery from what I did earlier?

Disconnect the wires from the batteries. Leaving a shorted inverter still attached to live batteries may end up in no truck to come back to after your shower...
