    2017 - Front USB ports neither Working!

    There are two cables, one for each port. I would check the two cables in post 10 before trying to get to the back of the MCU as that's quite an involved job. Not hard, just lots to remove to get it to a loose enough position to get a hand around to feel and then it's also tricky to get the...

    Suitable rear camera for 2016.5 Model S 1061269-00-D

    From what i understand, replacing MCU1 with MCU2 is about £1800 in the UK. They replace BOTH screens, the dash and the central one. It's a bit faster, Netflix and games and a few nice touches. I had a 2020 M3 loaner a little while back and it was snazzy, but not game changing. To get the...

    Suitable rear camera for 2016.5 Model S 1061269-00-D

    It was Ebay from the states - The link is here but they are out of stock so not that much use, though images might be? - I searched for the part number, but nothing much of use is coming up at the moment :(

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    Hand done Yesterday at Northampton, UK - All good. Nice and easy and under the battery warranty - Whilst it said under an hour on the invoice, it took about 2 for my 2017 100D (flap underneath) - Spoke to the tech and he said he was the only one contactor trained at that SC, so it's not...

    Suitable rear camera for 2016.5 Model S 1061269-00-D

    MCU1 and it's in the service menu. NO idea really what it did and seems AP/Cruise (I have EAP) related rathe than rear camera as I don't think it altered the image. Just the service manual mentioned it, though on second reading it does mention toolbox tool, and I didn't do that! I do actually...

    Suitable rear camera for 2016.5 Model S 1061269-00-D

    Finally got round to doing mine (2017 S 100D, UK). The lens actually disintegrated on taking the camera off. 1061269-00-C to 1006773-00-F I couldn't get the connector free using the hand hold, so had to partially take off the window surround to get a second hand in. Wasn't too bad as only...

    2016 (Post Refresh) Wiper Not Clearing Screen Properly

    I *THINK* it may be a different account to my normal Telsa login - I've not paid for access or have anything special , just a DIY person who's kinda hands on This is an image of my old motor/linkage in roughly the orientation for a UK car. All three holes have the same bolts, you can see the...

    2016 (Post Refresh) Wiper Not Clearing Screen Properly

    There *IS* some adjustment in the armature mechanism - I just swapped mine and have the old one on the bench and popped down for a look. The bolt on the drivers wing is a small hole (no adjustment), the far side one is a large hole (same size bolt) and the bottom hold is a large oval. I put all...

    Windshield wiper arm scraping metal under the hood

    Just done mine in the UK. Got the motor/linkage from a Tesla SC when I was over for another issue. About 3hrs all in which included a bit of faff and checking stuff in guides and youtube. https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelS/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-47977C8A-5AB1-447C-8B14-67C94B6111D1.html...

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    I seriously doubt that one....That's an out of pocket cost and Telsa have no control over it. I've got a 1111445-00-F fuse sat on my desk, that i bought with an idea of DIYing things, but wasn't so sure after looking at the service manual. I didn't get round to finding if the HV Interlock was...

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    Looks like due to all the complaints, Telsa are shifting this to warranty for many I hope this *IS* the case! Though one does wonder what will happen to those who paid for it ???

    Service Required - GTW-W021

    I've also got a similar wiper wear issue. I've got a new motor from Tesla to fit at some point. I put a bit of paint protection film and tweaked the bonnet until i get properly sorted. I'm guessing you COULD replace bushings, but Tesla doesn't sell the bits, so it'd be a DIY source. There's a...

    Service Required - GTW-W021

    Mine is a 2017 100D It's an awesome car, but all cars tend to need a bit of TLC and problem solving to keep them going. I've just had the battery pyro fuse needs changing, so have one on order :rolleyes: Got a new wiper motor too as the bushes die and an arm scrapes on the underside of the...

    Service Required - GTW-W021

    Finally sorted! Took a while as service had people off and illnesses and tracking the fault - Got given a 2020 model 3 LRD as a loaner though which was fun! They ended up swapping a front bumper harness - 1004420-04-T £125 for the harness, £99 to fit, £250 in diagnostics - All plus vat, so...

    I made Heated Fan style windshield washer nozzles

    Just done mine. Pretty reasonable job - I used a belt sander and carefully removed the top material, skimmed down the potting around the heater bit which looks like a blue capacitor, then used some epoxy. Hot melt glue felt a bit wrong for a heated device which may melt it in use! Fan jet is far...

    2017 Model S vs 2020 Model 3

    Due to some tech work on my model S, i've had a model 3 loaner for a few weeks and thought i'd share my views 2017 Model S 100D, MCU1, EAP2 - 2020 Model 3 LR D, MCU 2, FSD computer, EAP enabled The model 3 is a nippy little go cart, specs say it's maybe 0.4 sec slower, but you just notice...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    2017 model S 100D - One of the earlier ones in the UK as it was a press car - Reg date is April 2017 Reading through the battery life on these are 10yrs, making 5yrs a big of an early thing ??? I've got ANOTHER fault with mine that i'm trying to sort with the car blowing F114 leading to...

    Service Required - GTW-W021

    The Car popped the fuse on the way home, was on a straight back road in cruise at 60. I tried to baby the car driving home to see if being gentle helped. NOPE I then parked the car up on Thursday evening. Swapped the fuse as there may be some run on / parasitic drain with it popped (high pitch...

    Service Required - GTW-W021

    Just popped a F114 fuse in. The high pitched whine appeared to stop. I got in, powered up and dropped climate to low. Sat for a good few minutes with warm air blowing (warm day, but), which says there's something cooling related. Pet theory is that there is something in the heating / cooling...

    Service Required - GTW-W021

    So....A day at Tesla! Initially I thought we were off to a good start. There was a Fuse - F114 that i'd missed when checking. Seems if using a multi-meter across them you need to pull the 12v battery and then the Fire loop to kill everything. I normally pull fuses, and check each one, but was...

    USB music all the way here. I don't use and generally won't use music streaming services. Dodgy alternative here and a lot of small friends bands are not on it. Also a hifi music geek, so FLAC too as per my home audio server and 1000s of CDs are ripped onto it. I tried a bit of streaming when i...

    How to replace driver’s side mirror chrome trim

    Curiously I've been looking at this EXACT thing. Got my 2017 S 100D with a chunk out of the chrome on the centre lower bit on the (RHD) drivers - How they managed that I don't know and it's something that bugs as *I* see it every time i driver it!!! This vid shows how to do it, and it looks...

    Way to change phone network without MCU reboot ??? Loosing signal between countries

    I did wonder. I'm guessing that they do. Heck my phone goes ping and tells me of different rate, so i'd expect that. Any idea if the MCU2 does the same daft thing ?

    Way to change phone network without MCU reboot ??? Loosing signal between countries

    Hi There, Just did an epic road trip to Germany from the UK in my 2017 Tesla Modle S 100D - MCU 1 so *maybe* fixed in hardware, but going from country to country and the mobile network would drop out a few miles after crossing the boarder....Blank maps, no traffic etc. I rebooted the MCU with...

    2017 - Front USB ports neither Working!

    Using this Youtube Video which is MCU replacement and a bit beyond what i wanted to do, I started removing a few bits. The lower trims, Glovebox and a few other bits and found the cables, but it was too tight to get them up into position. I ended up loosening the upper dash trim, removing the...

    2017 - Front USB ports neither Working!

    OK.....Think I've found the culprit - Not plugged in at the MCU end - No idea quite why, but inspection with my cheap endocam unit, after removing the cubby hole and a fair bit of twisting and looking and here we go! Above those green port cables, the USB is obviously not connected - Was...

    2017 - Front USB ports neither Working!

    The pair of cables and ports (Media Hub, USB Ports - 1004815-01-B) turned up today, popped the footwell panel and plugged them into the MCU extension cable ports and irritatingly, no difference - 99% sure the wires in the console are fine, plugged into the ports etc. Tried a reboot with the new...

    2017 - Front USB ports neither Working!

    Finally got to have another play for an hour. Using THIS for numbers The back ports are pretty reasonable to access. The hardest bit is the cup holder cover (26) and finding the clips underneath to pop off. Then it's pretty easy to pop the facia panel off the usb ports (19), which hide the lit...

    2017 - Front USB ports neither Working!

    I found this on a different site, as the Telsa one is hard to link/ref for that, which shows Model S and the hub so there certainly *IS* a hub in the 2017 S, even on my actual VIN. Quite what it does and where it is however ??? Doing a google search on the various parts on that diagram, I found...

    How I fixed my air suspension leak for $1.00

    Interesting on the pipe wear leak issue here - If you can get the rest of the line off, then i would expect you could replace it with a with something like a custom made break line type pipe. A lot of small garages make these up for older cars. Just noting for others and future compressor...

    2017 - Front USB ports neither Working!

    Just pulled F207 - Tests fine with a Multi meter - I may swap it with one of the fuses in 208/209 that's 15a, which appear to be populated spares, just in case, but it IS looking like the hub or a connection into it :( Any idea where the USB hub is? I've found a youtube video of a retrofit of...
