Re: Buying a 2012 i-MiEV - What should I look for?

My Goodness, Kiev! What would make you think that electricscooter is an a.i. Bot? Their diction and grammar are textbook-perfect, and the recommendation to shop on https://www.amazon.com/ is a very wise move. I myself have purchased many good and useful items on https://www.amazon.com/ that make own...

Re: Stock Shocks Replacement Options

Replacement struts have been out of stock forever, and I thought that FactoryMitsubishiParts.com had cancelled and refunded my order that was placed in early December, so I replaced mine with low mileage collision-salvage struts just last weekend.... So of course, the dormant order was shipped this ...

Re: Buying a 2012 i-MiEV - What should I look for?

Hi Andrew, I'd say to test drive the car for at least overnight, running it down to 2 flashing bars and doing a complete recharge before trusting any Range Remaining estimate. Also do a test DC Fast Charge, as a tired battery may only accept 12 kW or so, making the occasional highway trip far less p...

Re: OBC GEN 2 stopped charging

[quote=MickeyS70 [/quote] I think the point jray3 is trying to make here that replacing a OBC in a 2011 model (probability built in 2010) with an OBC 2nd gen doesn’t seem to be working. Thanks Mickey, I'm itching to see a report of a NA-spec i-MiEV being upgraded with a collision-salvage 14/16 OBC o...

Re: OBC GEN 2 stopped charging

Just to clarify, is your 2016 model onboard charger one that was replaced under warranty in the 2011 car? JoeS installed a salvaged late model OBC and got similar errors, so it never operated correctly in his 2012. There must be some programming or other magic done during the recall replacements.

Re: Troubleshooting and repair for On-board Charger (OBC)

You should give thanks to Jay for the failed OBC used for all of these circuit tracings. Good luck to you, hope the repair goes well. Hey, thank you Kenny, I didn't know to what extent my original OBC had contributed to this effort. Glad to see this, though I managed to get factory replacements wit...

Re: Driveshaft replacement

Hi Kzita, I've removed the half-shafts from a wrecked car and am going to install them soon on MR BEAN. Read this section of the maintenance manual- important because the transaxle should be rotated to a particular position for best results. I had great difficulty popping out one of the axles from t...
