Thanks Jeff, Yes, you could drive away with paddle inserted. However if I turn the key on, with paddle inserted, I immediately get a "Service Soon" light and the 287 code. Since I have never been into the charge receptacle, I figured an external micro switch would be easier. I...

Kevin, I need to add that your reed switch has failed to the degree that the embedded magnets in the charger paddle do not activate it while the paddle is installed. This presents a safety issue whereas you could inadvertently drive away from the charger with the paddle still...

There are S-10 owners all over the United States. If there is only 60 or so S-10 EV trucks out there then some states must have none. The most reasonable priced traction pack at this time is still the used Ovonic NiMH modules. The LifePo4 cells start at 10 to 12 thousand and g...

I like the idea on the tilt bed. What kind of range do you get with that battery selection? I've also noticed some guys talking about a tech tool. What's that? I have a OBD-II code reader, but i assumed that it's not going to understand anything from an EV. haha... On Wed, Nov...

It needs batteries (as it currently has none) and I think the power supply for the AC unit and Power Steering need repair/replacing. Other than that it should be in excellent condition since it only has 1,000 original miles. I'm not as technical with electronics as my brother...

Richard, Do you have the service manuals? You may be able to use the Temperature circuit. That will shut the charger down and it will display, "Stand by", (on the Gen 1 charger). You will get a "temp" light on the dash. Since my paddle switch is apparently not working, I'm not...
