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...

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...

Thanks Anthony- I'm sure folks will be interested, just mention price, color and a link to any more complete online listings.

I think that these vans had the exact same pack as our cars. This yields a bit of hope for a change in the price and availability of 16 kWh packs, and the chance of a factory upgraded pack being offered.

Chapter 2- I noticed that one of MR BEAN's taillights had burned out. No problem, eh? After 11 years, that's understandable! Turns out that our taillights have two incandescent bulbs and a single board-mounted LED. Yup, the running lights that would get the most runtime are LED, and that board seems...

I am salvaging a blue 2014 and a silver 2012 SE. Sorry, both batteries are taken, no remotes. All silver SE body electronics and the parts other than the left front fender and strut are available (left doors and left rear fender are scratched), both bumpers and covers are good. This car only had 31k...

Ok, my search skills are declining because I thought there was a thread saying that the data connector had been revised for 2014 such that some adaptation may be required to put one of those batteries into a 2012. Well, it's about time to make use of the 2014 battery in my parts car, and I'm hoping ...

Welcome Aboard, John! With such low mileage I’ll be real curious to hear actual Ah capacity of the traction battery, if you can get CANIon or another tool to run (or get the a dealership to measure it when taking care of the likely outstanding vacuum pump recall). I’m picking up a 2012 parts car thi...

Thx for the reminder, as oddball tire sizes like ours are produced less often and inventory doesn’t turn over as fast. I took a big discount on 2019- produced winter tires from Tire Rack last month, but they advertised ‘em as such!

Glad to see you still loving on that chrome dome of yours, Marty! I’m down one front alloy, in case you come across a spare!
