The red and black should go to a cover position sensor.
If you disconnect the red and black and install a jumper the C should go away.

If the C is there when the cover is open or closed, the cover position sensor is not working properly.
You can investigate why it's not working.
If you install a jumper on the green plug, the C should go away and you won't have the cover position sensor capability until you fix the sensor and reconnect it.

Right.
No.
If you want the cover position sensor to work, you need to figure out why it's not working and fix the problem and then reconnect the sensor to the green plug.
I have been, but I don't go regularly.You are amazing, do you travel to NJ?

I'm just a pool owner, while pretty handy not sure I know how and where to install a jumper. Going to have to call someone I think
Disconnect the red and black.
A jumper is just a short piece of wire that connects to where the red and black are now.
Loosen the screws and remove the red and black wires.
Get a short piece of wire with the ends stripped and insert the ends into the holes and tighten the screws.

I dont know. The cover works from the switch, it is currently open. The salt cell works fine, just is stuck in the "c" as you said. When i take out the red and black wires from the green piece, it seems there is no power coming from the red and black wires. similarly, when i plug in the jumper, and plug in the green part, the jumper isnt showing power either.
It's low voltage and your tester might not pick it up.
Have a service come out to check everything.
Some of the wiring you have looks odd and maybe it is mixed up.

The Cell connector has a red, black, green and white.
The red and black are power and the green and white are data.
There should also be 4 wires connecting the Com port on the iChlor Power Center to the Com port in the Automation box.
These wires are red, yellow, green and black.
There should be two wires from a cover position sensor to the green screw terminal block.
These wires can be any color.
When the cover is open, the sensor should act like a simple closed switch.
When the cover is closed, the sensor should act like a simple open switch.
Your Com port wiring looks mixed up, but it is hard to tell.

Thank you so much, I will give it one more look in the daylight, but seems im not avoiding calling in the reinforcements!
It seems my com port doesn't have those color wires

You will probably need someone to check everything to see what is correct and what is not correct.
Pentair thinks that the green plug in part should have black and white and not black and red. Meaning the switch would need to be rewired too. Going to have someone come out, not sure that is the answer.
There’s no basis for that hypothesis.
They have no reason to think that they know which wires go to the green terminal block.
In any case, it seems that it should have worked with a jumper.
For the jumper, did you strip the ends of the wire to ensure good contact.
Did you also try it with nothing connected to the green terminal block?
