That's wiztecy's car. Still wondering what happened to him. He hasent been heard from since the Santa Cruz fire in 2018.
[ATTACH] Same place. just two instead of one.
No. The 2.X uses two smaller pumps.
You need to check the 12V voltage both when the car is on and when it is asleep. That will tell you if you have a problem.
Unfortunately that is not an isolated problem. I even had a sheet from a 2K mile pack sudddenly try to brick itself from one bad cell. Sitting on...
The headlights are connected tp the switchpack, along with the current to charge the 12v battery when the APS is on. My guess is that the unlock/...
PEM FAN Connector pin identification
There is indeed a small voltage converter that is inside the ESS that supplies a little current when the APS is off (the standby line). In an...
It takes a few seconds for the APS to power up. Without the aux battery connected, activating the door opening switch does nothing until the APS...
Its not really a DIY procedure unless you have the HVAC equipment to evac and recharge the A/C system. It's buried all the way down in the front...
An STX14L-BS is the cheap battery that fits. $40 on Ebay or $50 at Walmart. Jacking it up and removing the wheel is the hardest part.
You are correct. I was looking up and down instead of left to right. So yes, your ESS is junk. Way beyond recovery.
You could always shave it and get rid of that ugly "buttstache" [ATTACH]
I'm not sure you were doing that correctly. There are 10 wires connected to each end of the 9 bricks, the rest are the temp sensors. Testing...
You might be off by one decimal point, but it would still be toast. You are taking readings with the BMB boards removed, correct? You didnt...
Looks like it is almost done balancing. Good news. If you drive the car a lot you dont have to keep it plugged in daily, just when it needs a...
Wow, those reading are pretty bad. Worse than ones I've seen from cars that sat over 3 years. My suggestions are: 1)Find a used ESS 2)Wait for...
Vin removal/swapping is a felony here in the US, so you probably wont have much luck. There are a few states here where a Florida CD will allow...
Check the min and max brick voltages in the service menu to see how far out of balance it is. As long as the range keeps increasing, you are OK....
If it has been sitting for 2 1/2 years the ESS is dead. The 110 mile range shown now is when the car was last turned on while the ESS still had...
If you read the min and max brick voltages from the service menu, you can see if you have a really bad problem. It doesnt sound good. When you get...
Those three codes are for the PEM overheating On the 1.5 the fan is on the PEM, so it doesnt get plugged easily like the later ones. If your pic...
And that is the biggest problem. The regen is extremely sensitive to wheel slip, and kicks off immediately. A little gravel or hard steering to...
If you got and extra set of the front caliper brackets you could run 4 pots on the rear and really have vastly improved brakes (not to mention...
Yes, the clamping force will overcome the drag from the rubber, but there will be no force to overcome that drag in the opposite direction and...
Not a good idea. The pads need to slide against the clip everytime the brakes are applied. You will end up with the pads dragging on the rotors...
I dont know, I only bought used ones.
I have purchased several and they are identical.
Yes, everything looks fine right now. You will notice a drop in range if the pack gets out of balance, so I would just ignore the warning until then.
It looks fine at the moment. The battery may eventually get out of balance, and if that happens you will need to get it fixed. Sounds like you...
They are the same as the one in the Smart Car EV. Those are more readily available.
Did you check out this thread about the 400v controller? It is almost at the end of the thread. New Roadster owner
Wait until you get the new plug so you can see exactly how it locks in.
Code 271 is related to the service disconnect. When you lift the handle, it pushes the disconnect outwards, so you need to pivot what remains of...
In the diagnostic menu you can read the firmware versions. The switchpack is SWP
I believe the switchpack has to have the same firmware in it to work in a swap. Otherwise you will get a mismatch error. And yes, the 12V charge...
The turn signal is operated by a relay in the switchpack, which is around $1200. You might just want to live with it.
No, nothing at all except some small screens at the bottom of the front fresh air inlet. Eventually that lets enough debris into the evaporator to...
The locking is handled by the VMS, which gets its power from the 12V battery and the APS. Those voltages are easily checked. I dont have a clue...
It sounds like you might have an A/C problem. Does the A/C work? You should hear it coming on from the front of the car while charging. The car...
Any high voltage fault can prevent the high voltage system from operating. Sometimes it just wont charge, sometimes it wont operate at all.
An isolation fault is when a high voltage circuit has some resistance to ground, so it could be any high voltage circuit getting wet. The 1.5...
I will assume you have checked the fuild level. You need to get OPCOM software (for the vauxhall VX220) to access the trouble codes. Without it...
You are incorrect about what the 400V controler does (it is called the HVAC high voltage control module on the wiring diagram). It controls the...
The connector is marginal in this application, and Tesla's Band-Aid fan upgrade is not much better. If you are at all familiar with Tesla's...
If you hear a noise when you attempt to open it, your problem is probably that the latch needs lubrication. If you hear nothing when you push down...
It will be so perfect if you would just fix the connector. It doesnt matter if you run your 11.8 Amps thru one wire or two. Originally each wire...
You could just fix it. If its only been a few months the battery would probably be OK with just getting it recharged. Gruber or Medlock would be...
You turn the car on, turn on the A/C and flip the switch-it will continue cooling the battery unitl you stop it. I just flip the switch when I'm...
