So I disconnected the high volt battery and I didn’t hear the clunk of the contractors so I have a feeling the main fuse blew which explains the no charging of the 12v and the red tesla icon at the charge port and blue light on wall charger (3rd gen)
I thought I’d share how I took the high voltage battery cover off for entertainment purposes.
*Warning: Don’t do this if your not comfortable handling high voltage battery. You could set you car on fire probably idk
So first you have to take off the rear seat. There are two plastic clips under the seat you flip to pull the seat up. Then un hook the seat sensor wires.
This is what the battery looks like and we are removing the silver cover in the back.
You’ll need a 15mm socket a 13mm Socket a torx socket and this special 10EP pentalope socket. I looked it up on Amazon and other online places but it was going to take too long to get and kinda expensive for a socket or a set.
So I just used a
Gator Grip socket from Home Depot and it worked like a charm. You can use it for the torx and special 10EP. Note 10E is a six point torx and 10EP is a 5 point.
5 Lobe Socket
Battery Module System without cover
Maine fuse pyro fuse PN 1064689-00
It’s the Black Box in the top center of the picture.
I took it off and checked for continuity and nothing. It also rattled which was not a good sign.
I’m going to try and repair the fuse or bypass it. Bypassing or repairing is not a good idea so don’t do it.
