atomic perhaps i am totally misunderstanding what you are saying, but you are having parsing issues and 'cornering issues'
try saving as a text file, or work it as such and disable word wrap.  another trick sometimes is find and replace <CR> with , or something and then deliniate on that for a csv output.

it might help, just saying

I use a hex editor to inspect the files so I can read them fine. The log files are a mix of binary and text, so text editors wouldn't display a lot of the info.
What I meant by parsing, is creating an algorithm to parse the log entries and extract the info.

I'm working on a parser for the MBB/BMS/BMU log files.
I'd appreciate it if anyone's willing to share log files they have so I can improve the parsing ability.
The log entries aren't consistent and have many 'corner cases'.

Thanks

I would try a different terminal emulator like Tera-tem.
I just tried again to get putty to work and changed a bunch of settings but still couldn't get it to work.
It does receive data from the MBB though, so if your not even seeing that I would triple check that the TX and RX lines aren't swapped.

Before you connect to the bike; you can do a loopback test of the OBDII cable you made by connecting pins 8 and 9 together. Then you should see what you type in the terminal.

You shouldn't need to key-on the bike either. The MBB will wake up when it detects a connection on the serial port.

The PC OS knows when the dongle is plugged in (starts talking to the microcontroller in the cable) but doesn't know about or if anything is plugged in on the other side. The microcontroller in the cable translates the USB signal to UART (TTL).

On Win 10 the driver is probably already installed. If you go to the device manger you should see it under Ports (COM & LPT)

I also wasn't able to get putty to work for some reason.
I would try tera term instead; it also lists the available COM ports unlike Putty, so you don't have to look it up in the device manager.

Have you double checked that the charger is still connected to the CAN bus and power cables?

The MBB is potted (sealed) so it can't be disassembled. You would have to cut through the case and spend many hours scrapping away the potting material.
I could be wrong but I think the MBB needs to be programmed at the dealer to work with a different key switch.

Fuses #3, #4, #5 go to the MBB 36-pin connector (pins 30-32).

Which fuse is blowing? The other fuses don't go through the MBB
