I suspect. I did not actually "fix" things. Fault just went away. One small flake is still seen on the plastic part. I suspect this is not "just dust". It appears to be some kind of salt, likely chloride. Metal connector is very close to that flake. And the aluminum extrusion, where socket is...

After few more hours of trial and error, I understood, that PWM signal should be not, in any way, be connected to chassis. But it was. Between PTC and PDM internal wiring. As soon as I removed plugs from aluminum frame, corrosion fell out AND PWM distortion was gone, AND interlock was closed...

Soo, it gets more interesting. If I short PDM pin1 and Service plug pin3, diagnostics states that interlock is closed. If I use the service plug and short PDM pin1 to PTC pin2, interlock is closed. If I attach PTC plug with clean copper wire and short PDM pins, interlock stays open. If I attack...

No they do not expire. Create account to store personal photos. And if necessary, delete them, then link will expire. I have some 5yo stuff there still available for forums :) Many thanks for PWM information. I do have a tiny oscillograph, will measure PWM signal soon. 5V expected and to...

Thanks for all the tips :idea: Bad news, multimeter said that interlock pins of PTC plug are shorted, as they should be. What about other reasonable corrosion spots: LB6 is the service plug in the middle of the pack. LB4 is the plug for PTC heater, with the tiny wire. LB2 is the plug in...

Neutral when READY is on, is not actually Neutral - if one opens Leaf Spy Pro, power to/from motor can be seen there. Not much, but still power. Neutral when READY is not lit, is actually Neutral. 0W of power flowing from/to motor. Gerry, are you sure connection between pedal and brake master...

First of all, this is NOT according to manufacturers recommendations. Manufacturer strongly prohibits towing with driving axle on the road! The reason for that, is that most EV-s have Permanent Magnet motors. If vehicle has depleted HV battery (ready mode does not engage) or has a problem that...

Now is my turn to cry :cry: C118C and C1A6E and C1A70 - general error due to ABS not working? And P3180 000B HV Battery System EVC-249 P31E1 000B HV System Interlock Error EVC-305 P0A0D 004E HV BATTERY HV Sys Interlock Err EVB-70 Car was resting under hot sun for 8 hours, started and was...

I tried 3-4x refills from AliExpress. Select correct model (width and slot design) and length and it works. Costs 2€ per piece. And last about half of original. I change them twice a year, before and after salt season :)

I live in harsh environment. Absolutely doesn't matter. All fine. Keep the flaps closed or filled with a nozzle, so nothing gets in.

Lens is not replaceable. Just get a used light from scrapyard. Or epoxy it so water doesn't get in. Will not look perfect.

Well either a car or previous patients *ss.

Frame is good enough for many hundreds of amps :) Pure sine wave is much better for motors, that includes compressors, that includes freezers. Computers, especially with a power brick, do not care about sine wave as they work on DC anyway. OK quality (almost) pure sine wave inverter is...

14.4V will not have significant effect on 12V battery but is rather desired in case of high load. Higher voltage = less losses at DC-DC converter, wiring and DC-AC inverter. Therefore it is actually wise to connect directly to battery terminal. Plus battery will buffer peaks and lessen the...

Plus is pretty much direct. Be sure you connect BEFORE fuses. Negative has a current sensor at the battery terminal (there is an extra connector nearby). Some say that it is not ok do connect to negative battery terminal, I will not confirm that. I would rather connect before that sensor rather...
