Will do it tomorrow. Hopefully ill get my fuse tomorrow. I got 2 just in case ))

Ok, so i connected jumper cables to the car, the connected 12v battery with approx 12.4V on it. Car starts all good. No messages. Voltage on the battery side is 13.5V on the DC-DC 4-9V. Then i disconnected the jumper cables. The lighbulb started to blink about twice faster!!! Voltage on battery...

The actual connector on DC-DC is good, plug that goes to DC-DC signal was damaged and now fixed. However i replaced my original DC-DC with another one because mine was all smashed. Maybe it shorted to the ground during the accident somehow like Otmar said.

It is connected instead 225Amp fuse. Car is NOT showing low voltage message anymore. But the car was on jumper cables from my truck

So battery side of the terminal has battery voltage, around 13.5av and DcDc side voltage changes 4 to 9V every second. Lightbulb is flashing

When i connected a good 14v battery, placed the 12V bulb, its now flashing and voltage changes from about 4 to 8v on this terminal.

The car was awake but it didnt want to drive because of the low battery message. Otmar, you are saying just to get a regular 110v light bulb and connect it instead of fuse, Then connect 12v battery and see whats gonna happen? Is this correct?

Update. I just connected the battery and checked voltage without fuse. The battery is has about 11.9V while battery has around 12.4V. The other side in fact, has about 0.4V, which is close to 0. I dont know why I have almost No Voltage from DC-DC LV Positive cable to the fuse box. Need your...

Thanks for all your advices. I will definitely check on the Voltage before/after that 225AMP Fuse. in the mean time the fuse was ordered, it is fuse 0298225.ZXEH. Here it is:

I dont know what you exactly mean. But my car software has v5.8 release. I just checked the new battery, connected it to the car, and the voltage on terminals on the nosecone was pretty much like on the battery even when i opened the door. I started to check the fuses because this was the first...

It has 5.8 Firmware. Is Nosecone the terminals place for jump start?

Just a little update. So i left my 12v battery connected to the car for around 24hrs, and when I came to check it out, it was almost dead. My multimeter showed 6.7V on the battery terminals. I understand that my DC-DC can be faulty or something, however it was removed from the car that was...

Yesterday i connected the brand new 12v battery which i was fully charged ( i was told by the tesla service that its fully charged) But i put it in the car i couldnt start the car and i had to jump start it in order to be able to drive it. It seems like my 12V batteries discharges very quick...

I agree with jaguar36, insurance rates are pretty high and will go higher if in many cases insurance company will have to write off the car even for the small damage as it seen pretty often right now. This weekend I received another shipment for some little parts that I was missing. I also got...

I will keep you informed about how the project goes. I am a young guy, and very risky i would say. I had no idea how im going to repair the car. Many people told me that im stupid and crazy, but its my life, so I have a choice try it or not. Im soo glad I made it up to the point that car runs...

I just want to inform that today after i connected my 12v battery all old messaged disappeared. So the car started and moved. The message - unable to drive, disappeared. Car is back on. My coolant level dropped a little more, so i refilled it again. For some reason my outside temperature sensor...

Im not sure is the coolant system on the battery is open all the times, I assume that there is some kind of valve that opens when the pumps start running. Im not sure if its true thou. Anyways, from what I noticed before, any codes that i had before disappeared except the little Red Light for...

I agree that most likely car is unable to drive because it has air in the system. I noticed that when you just "wake up" the car, open the door and get in the car, the coolant pumps start to work for a few minutes. I have no other choice, so I want to try to repeat this procedure a few times...

Little updates on the repair process. Last Friday I got the plug and connectors that I needed for my signal plug. So on Saturday I put a new plug and it worked out great. Plugged it is and seemed like the car was good, car drove back and forward on my parking lot. The only other message that i...

Im pretty sure it will. I didnt try it thou

Didnt try it yet. This week i was planning to install my wall charger.

My software version is 5.8. I didnt see any messages on software update, but my 3G Sim card is removed, so the car is not connected to internet. New Battery is definitely on my list. Since i have an old battery which as i know was on recall. This battery i dont keep connected all the time yet, i...

My understanding is, that Tesla wants to do all repairs itself. Otherwise they would never certify ( at least now, pretty sure it will change later) and therefore i dont really have ability to update. The whole internal system on electric cars alot simpler than any gasoline engine car. For me it...

Im not the only one who is happy ))

My bodywork is all done. I just need to put together some of the components. Hopefully i will get it complete soon. Do you think Tesle Service will be able to service my car since its salvage and not been "Tesla Certified"???

All it says - car need service. Since i installed the new Speed Sensor, all my ABS and Brake lights went off. I still have my Srs light on, some of my airbags not currently installed.

Hi to everyone. Its been a pretty long few weeks for me trying to get the wires that i needed. The middle wire i could get from a dealer, its like $350. But the main one cost over 1100$. Since i had only one Plug damaged on that main wire, i was trying to get it. Spent like 3 weeks and no...

My customized plug, from Toyota Prius engine.

By looking closely and carefully i was able to figure out the wiring on the plug. However, the plug that i ordered the other day didnt come yet. So today i got used another plug, which was similar but not the same. It seems like it worked out and plug goes into dc-dc inverter pretty well. Thanks...

Hi everyone. Little Updates, after a little search on Molex website, for 6-pin connectors I was able to find the PLUG that I need. Its MOLEX 19418-0011. Its sold on Mouser for around $5. So it was ordered. Waiting to arrive. Molex Connector Part Number - 19418-0011...

My Tesla P85 is 2013. Dc dc converter is right behind the passenger front wheel. You need to pull the back side of fender liner to be able to take a picture and see what wire goes where. There few same color wires, but one of them has stripe on it.

Hello, Im repairing Tesla Model S (Front Collision TESLA P85. Repair and Troubleshooting Help Needed.). I got stock with wire connector that i need. The wire that goes to DC-DC Converter SIGNAL Plug is messed up completely, The wire harness is just over $1000, and since I just have one...

Yeah, i have not read about the bleeding the coolant system yet, so i dont know how im going to get it done. But the good thing is, that Tesla would sell me almost any part, i just got the PYRO Fuse from them, ordered a huge wire harness, bunch of little parts. I was amazed about the prices...

Understood! Will Try to get it fixed asap, and then try to start it.

I always need to use booster, or I actually connect it to my other running car because the 12V battery discharges very fast. It was dead dead when i got it. Charged up, but if it is connected to the car it looses juice very fast.

I just got the bodywork done on the TESLA! Great Job was done and the car looks amazing now. However, I still need to put the car together and this is hard part. Yesterday I put the radiator with the hoses on the car, filled in with the Coolant. Connected the front wire harness with the...

Thank you for the Thread being forwarded to me. After reading it, i realized that it can be helpful, but not so much since you have to have their software for most of the diagnostics and repairs. Anyways, this is something to keep in mind and maybe i will buy an access to it along the road. Car...

Thanks for the link. I will def check it out tomorrow. Btw, i have a good friend of mine in Massachusetts. How can he help me?

While the body of the car is getting repaired, Im trying to figure out some wires that were cut or damaged. Does anybody know that this connector is for??? It is right by the WHITE & BLACK connector that connects to the front bumper harness.

Yeah, i was aware of this PYRO FUSE which is right on top of the 12V battery. I Tried to connect both ends of this fuse with a wire just to try if its going to help, but nothing happened, same thing. I even put 2.2Ohm resistor to the connector that goes to this fuse, didnt help. I will see if I...

Yeah. Thats right, its around 170 miles. Trying to get some parts which is not easy and trying to figure out why it wouldnt start.

I got a coolant, but i cant put it in, because i need to replace few hoses and center radiator. if anybody knows who may have these parts, please let me know. Thanks

Thank you so much for your replies. I will certainly make sure that I need to Connect Signal to the dc-dc inverter and put the coolant to level. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this thread. I have red it thru, it was very informative. So now I decided to post mine, just to see how its going to end up. Im just doing my process of searching some parts and advice. Hoping to get it running. for some reason i cant post any more pictures :( - - -...

My center radiator was damaged, so I assume that the coolant just drained away from the system, because there is no coolant in the coolant tank. Im waiting to get few parts that i need to close the loop on the coolant system to fill it up with the coolant. Also, my temperature sensor was...

Yesterday I got it plugged in to a good 12V battery and these are the Error Messages that I got: 1. ABS Needs service 2. Regen Disabled 3. Key Battery Needs Replacing 4. Vehicle Coolant is Low 5. Car Needs Service (Car May Not Restart) 6. Stability Control Disabled 7. Traction Control Disabled...

Hi everyone. Im pretty new to this forum. I have red a few threats from here and that's about it. Recently I got TESLA P85 which was hit on the front. So the now we are working on the body repairs while doing some troubleshooting on the electric problems. Basically when i received the car, it...
