Interestingly, as it was being towed away it went over a slight bump on the curb and all the lights came on. I just assumed the driver had hooked it up somehow but he called me when he got to the service center and said the car was now working normally. He said he had seen the same thing happen one other time.Maybe the main high voltage contactors failed.
View attachment 612127 Ok, check my logic: The mirror I am looking at (bought) on ebay had decent pictures, including a picture of the main plug. So I opened up my door, took a picture of my plug and compared the occupied pins. The picture on top is my (broken) mirror, below is ebay. The ebay mirror has all of the same occupied pins, plus some mine doesn't. So I am feeling pretty good that the ebay will work for me. Thoughts?
rear camera replaced by the SC. A full afternoon of work and expensive... But now it works fineSince yesterday, my rear view camera on my 2013 P85+ gets sometimes black. A reboot did not change that. Does anyone knows what can cause the trouble?
Hi: I just started getting the rear camera unavailable issue as well, and am getting BS from the Tesla SC. Did you get the issue resolved finally? If so, can you tell me what was done to fix it? Thanks kindly, JSAfter installing 4.3 my rear camera isn't working. It simply says its unavailable. I've reset the center screen to no avail. I thought that maybe pulling the fuse responsible for the camera would reset the system. Anyone know which fuse it is?
Start of MCU1 eMMC failure?Since yesterday, my rear view camera on my 2013 P85+ gets sometimes black. A reboot did not change that. Does anyone knows what can cause the trouble?
Thought this might be useful to post here for those with pre-2015 Model S. If it stops charging on AC power, but will still DC charge, there's a very good chance that the fix is simply replacing one of the internal fuses in the onboard vehicle charger.
We just repaired our first one in a Model S at the shop where I work a couple weeks ago, though we have also done the same repair countless times in the Tesla powered Toyota Rav4 EV (which uses the same Gen 1 OBVC). The service center wanted to charge $2,200 to replace the OBVC, and we were able to perform the repair for much cheaper.
While we had the car, we also removed the drive unit speed sensor to check for evidence of internal coolant leakage. I HIGHLY recommend doing this for anyone with a RWD or P car that has the large drive unit, ESPECIALLY if you are out of warranty. A bad rotor seal can leak coolant into the motor, and could destroy your drive unit if you don't catch it in time. It's pretty simple one to do, and only requires basic hand tools. For those in Southern California, we can check it for free at our shop in Vista.
Thanks for the tip. Can you elaborate on how to do this?
Yes, because yours is a "P" (performance) model it will have the large rear drive unit. I know for sure that they were used up until at least the "P90D"s in 2017.[QUOTE="ajbessinger, post: 5267837, member: 143751"
Thanks for the great write up. My car is a December 2014 p85d. So it's kinda like a 2015 model year. Is it one that may suffer from this condition?
Thanks. I'll check it ASAP.
It would be nice if there was a website dedicated to keeping older, high mileage, out of warranty tesla cars on the road. This site is great but there's a lot to sort through in other to find really helpful stuff like this. I'd do it if I wasn't old and technically unqualified in the digital realm.
