Facelift Model S Access to firemans loop connector on RHD vehicle

[SpanishJ0n]

Hi,

I need to disconnect the 12V battery on my late 2017 MS90D, and according to fixmytesla I should also disconnect the firemans loop connector. When I looked today it looks like I can disconnect it, but reconnection looks difficult due to very poor access to the connector lower half - its crammed between the windscreen reservoir lid and the brake fluid master cylinder. All the online manuals refer to the LHD vehicle which has easy access. Has anyone done this before?

Regards Spanish

Might be some stuff of interest in this

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it is of no help whatsoever. Ideally I need someone with a facelift MS to send me a pic of their fire-mans loop in their car so I can compare. It may also be very useful for other Model S owners to understand the problem (if there is one) before they need access in an emergency.

Does page 7 in the Model S Emergency Response guide help?

Hi. No as this is based on a lhd vehicle which has easy access.

Do you have to disconnect both ends ? Surely if one end is disconnected the circuit is broken ?

Afterall, the fireman simply cuts it

I want to disconnect the connector which isolates the hv battery. I dont want to cut anything. Once im done i want to reconnect the connector - but i cant due to no access to the connector lower half. Look at the picture.

I think the suggestion is can it just be disconnected at one end (and isolated)?
