Miller Family Generator Problem

[Jurassic Fart 1]

I'm at Big John's Salvage Yard and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ generator doesn't stay on long enough for me to open the shelter's hatch; the generator dies before I can get halfway back to the shelter. I've followed every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wire connected to it, and there's no other switch or circuit breaker besides the one in the shack that actuates it.

No-one else on the 'net reports this problem, and I've never had this problem before. The wiki article about it is full of crap: It says if the entrance gets bugged, using the console is the only way in. "Unlock" doesn't work, and TCL is useless because THAT doesn't open the new map.

Screw Big John's shelter. It's irritating as feck is all; there's not even anything noteworthy inside the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing.

I note that while the generator keeps breaking down that the mines respawn, so you have to be careful on return visits.

So I cleared this area before and turned on the generator.hours later I found the raido station came back the generator was still on but the door says it'd sealed still any ideas how to get around it?

Thats the one place in this game where the story brought me to tears. I have been in there once in over 3000 hrs of playing this game. I will never go back in there.

It's a gawdamned red herring. I've abandoned that quest. It's a sucker's bet, like paying to see the Giant Bullet in Borderlands.
