Title says it all, bulb started flickering and going out. Off and on would reset and it’d fire for about another 2 minutes. While new bulb was in the mail it went out for good. Changed bulb, no luck. Moved to the ballast. Changed that to no avail. Talked to Tesla, they said it would be the...

Hey all, I am currently putting 2 tesla seats into my Lexus IS. I've fabricated seat brackets for them but cannot figure out wiring for the drivers side. The passenger side was as easy as splicing 2 wires to get all power functionality. I did the same work for the drivers side but only lumbar...

I had a friend in Europe snag these for me, but my car is just a little bit too early to have the gray plug behind the bumper to utilize them. This is a plug n' play option for trailer light wiring if you have a 2019+ Model 3. I was going to snip the euro trailer connector off and graft on a 4...

Had some rodents eat through my steering rack wiring harness. I cannot figure out how to disconnect this connector, anyone know the secret? I’m 250 miles from a service center so I hope to get the connector released and splice in for the short term. Longer term, t chance anyone know if that...

I will have a 60 Amp / 240 breaker installed. 6/3 wire will be used from the breaker up and inside the wall, into the attic and over about 9 ft horizontal, down inside the wall to the location of the Wall Connector.

Hello Tesla People! I've been hunting high and low for this. Like many of you I've ordered an aftermarket EcoHitch for my Model Y and am happy to work through the installation on my own. Re: a wiring harness, I have not found any 7-pin connector solutions and also can not see a reasonable way...

Does anyone have the list of connectors used in the model 3 wiring harnesses with the names/part numbers? I have the Tesla codes for the connectors that I need from the wiring diagrams but don't know what the standard names/numbers for these are to be able to order online. Thanks

Hi: Does anyone know if the bottom of the Tesla battery case gets hot to the touch during use? I am considering running a conduit to carry a dash cam wire from the rear view mirror to a camera on the rear bumper. I can take a super smooth route directly attached to the battery cover or a...

Hey all! I'm working through the plans for adding two wall connectors to my garage for our soon to be delivered X and upcoming S and have run into what seems to be an obvious solution except for perhaps limitation of the wall connector setup. The goal is obviously max charging speed within...

I have had my horn in for service a couple of times at Tesla's because it stops working, and of course starts working again at the shop. They "clean the contacts", whatever that means but since it's already working when they have it in- house they are never able to fully troubleshoot the issue...

I am working on testing a kick sensor for the Model 3 for the frunk and realised the 'trapped person' button inside the frunk is constantly active, meaning tapping this button to pop the trunk with the kick sensor also allows opening the frunk while the car is locked. I am aware that there is...

Recent comments and patent filings indicate Model Y production will use a new frame maufacturing technique to create a good part of the frame in one peice and also use a new wirng harness having much less wiring in the wire harnesses (100 meters vs 1,500 meters as in the Model 3). All great...

Between my breaker panel and my garage there is a 40' run of crawlspace. I have a 90A breaker and 2AWG wire running to my HPWC. I will use conduit for the run in the garage leading up to the HPWC. But how about inside the crawlspace (between my breaker panel and garage)? Is conduit required...

I'm 4-6 weeks out from getting my MX (100D). For now I plan to wire a 14-50 receptacle (50 Amp breaker) because it is cheap (relative) and easy. At some point down the road I'm hoping to score a referral and get a free wall charger (or maybe find one on Craigslist or ebay - anybody out there...

Back in 2005, I installed a shock sensor to the hood latch alarm of my old Infiniti FX35AWD primarily because the alarm in my old FX (like my Model S) only activates when a door, frunk or trunk is forcibly open, not when there is substantial motion detected. With the help of a friend, we...

Installed an Eco Hitch on my M3. I also wired a 4 prong harness for about $25 in parts. The wiring is also completely hidden. It accelerates like I’m not pulling anything. The trailer has standard bulbs and works fine but I’m going to switch them out for LED.

Hi - someone clipped and broke my right hand (passenger) side mirror. The wiring and chrome base etc are all fine and the assembly still rotates but it has to be changed with a working mirror assembly. Anyone know how to do it and can provide guidance? Also will 2015/ 2016 Model S mirrors...

I'm trying to tap in to the purple wire coming from the rear hatch trunk release. This is the switch just above the license plate. I'm hoping to find the wire somewhere in the trunk, but no luck so far. Does anyone know if it's there and how to locate it? I'd prefer to tap into it in the trunk...

I'm preparing for my baby 9 months out (fitting, right?). I hope to take delivery prior to our annual Thanksgiving trip to Grandma & Grandpa's. I'm getting a single charger S85. Is the spec for the HPWC a 2-pole 40 amp breaker or 50? Also, based on the breaker size, what size wires will I...
