Thanks to some people inquiring, I realized I meant say "both Class 2 and Class 3".Class3 is a wish, but a person is allowed to wish aren't they? I am not at all an expert at this, but from what little I know Class2/ClassB is basically what your standard OBDII scanner reads. S...

Hello Rusty If you have a real problem it will usually come back very soon. I would not be discharging the pack very much at all before you try charging again. You do not want your voltage to drop to where you end up having to drop the pack to manually charge the pack. I highl...

Do you have a Tech2 scanner, or one you could borrow? My first guess would be that it is most likely to be cooling/blower/temperature/thermometer related, but that covers a large swath. Pv On 10/8/08, Rusty Schwartz <[email removed]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > Halfway through ch...

Are you getting any other diagnostic trouble codes, especially on the HTCM? Normally a non functional compressor is accompanied by several HTCM DTC's. With your A/C compressor not operating, it's extremely likely that your battery chilling function isn't working also. If the b...

Dennis, Yeah, with 4100 pounds of vehicle weight and the tires inflated to 50 psi, the thing seems to coast quite well. I agree. Someone posted something a couple of years ago about the increase in range of the vehicle with the half-tonneau cover installed. As I remember, it w...

Good job getting it fixed Dennis. I live in a hilly area too and agree that regenerative coasting (when regen engages but you have not actually pressed the brake pedal) can reduce range. It is too bad that they do it that way or there is no simple button to disable it. If the...
