Re: i-Miev Cabin Heater stop heating

Is there enough fluid? Is the pump working properly? Just pop the hood and watch the reservoir: there should be a lot of swirling throughout the cycle, If you have an IR thermometer, you can point it at the reservoir to see how hot the fluid is getting, which should help determine if one of the temp...

Re: Heat while plugged in

Yeah, the 8 amp charger doesn’t allow for much heat.

One option is to pre-heat the car with a small space heater. I had to do this for a couple of months when the heater died in one of my imievs. Worked surprisingly well, at least for trips up to about 20-30 minute, down to about 20F.

Re: New title: Weak Heater

If your remote doesn’t beep when the command to preheat is sent, then you may have a problem with the remote—or you may be using it incorrectly. For the former, make sure you are near the car, and that the remote has a new battery. For the latter, carefully read the manual—the remote has a terrible ...

Re: New title: Weak Heater

Just to verify, you are trying to preheat when the car is charging? Also, so you get any beep tones when trying to activate pre-heat? Are you close to the car, with the antenna on the remote fully extended? As for going into turtle, that’s likely a different issue, possibly a bad battery. But runnin...

Re: New title: Weak Heater

Remote heater (while plugged in) doesn't seem to do anything. I click on the Heat position, give it 1 hour, and press Send. Nothing changes. Any advice? The remote's interface is very awkward and unintuitive. From what I understand, there's no way to designate either heating delay or duration--whic...

Re: Heater repaired, and shout out to jray3!

Thx a lot Toby! I'm glad to help because a little repair like this will make the difference between keeping a car on the road or just letting it grow mold! I'm working on a big parts request from another member right now, and as these will be the final parts from stripping that car, I'll begin surv...

Re: Range extender !

I don't believe I've mentioned my newest pusher project on here yet, so here it is after a summertime debut at the Greenwood Car Show in Seattle! This is awesome! I wish that something like this was commercially available. Reminds me a little of the BMW i3's range extender--which I thought was a gr...

Heater repaired, and shout out to jray3!

The heater in my wife's 2016 i-MiEVs failed, and I struggled for a couple of months to find a way to get it fixed affordably. It wasn't looking good at all, until @jray3 announced on this forum that he had a car that he was parting out--and that he still had the heater. He mailed it to me several mo...

Re: Parting out two cars

Hi jray3,

I just tried to PM you, but I'm not sure that it went through. I may be in the need for a heater and/or pump for one of my 2016 imievs. Are these still available?

Thanks!
