Hi Everyone, This problem started as a A/C pressure warning but seems to have morphed back to some sort of problem with the battery box fan again. I took a look at the blower motor and found that the connector was very hard to remove. Once removed it became clear why. The plas...

Hi, John-- I am replying via the mailing list to ensure that our remarks get into the archive. Blower for the battery compartment - shove a pushpin through the wire powering the blower so that you can measure the voltage under load. If it's much lower than open-circuit, the pr...

I don't know if anyone else feels the same on this, but I would really hesitate to help anyone who is using GM S10-EV spare parts for anything other than maintaining a real S10-EV. If someone figures out how to use any of these GM parts for a home built or any other project wh...

Yours is a good question, Pat. That perplexes me, too. Here's a thought: Although my S-10 was a Solectria conversion, my experience with charging those lead/acd batteries versus the NiMh was, timewise, that it took twice as long to get the lead ones back up, as opposed to the...

If the transaxle is installed and level, remove the threaded plug using a 3/8 socket drive. On the S-10, this plug is at the back, on the EV1 it is at the front. If the "hamster milk" is level to the hole, the amount is correct. Please call if you need the GM P/N for this spec...
