Well, as things go in the automotive world, it was getting pretty long in the tooth - Pretty much unchanged over the past 8 to 10 years and that's an eternity in the auto realm. Here's hoping they refresh things a bit and come out with an all new model which builds on all the positives that...

If you've left lights connected to your battery 'for a few days' then it's deader than dead and you're probably looking at buying a new battery, especially if it was a few years old to begin with. You could try recharging it with a Pulse Repair Technology battery charger and you might get it...

If your 12 volt battery is in good shape, then it's always charged while the car is recharging. If the battery shows less than about 11 volts, many computerized chargers won't recognize it as a 12 volt battery and will fail to recharge it - I keep an old $30 6 amp analog battery charger on my...

Because page 1-17 of the owners manual says so - NOTE ● The 12V starter battery will be automatically charged during charging and also while the ready indicator is illuminated. Refer to “Ready indicator” on page 3-72. Don

I would buy a new vacuum pump - The same one as they are installing for the North American recall, and keep your receipt!. Brakes are not something where you want to take the cheap way out . . . . when you have a problem, fix it right. Eventually, Peugeot will recall your car for this...

Weighing the charge can work, of course, but that would mean evacuating the system completely so you know there's no refrigerant already in the system and that would seem to be less efficient and wasteful of any refrigerant already in the system - Adding just enough to top it off would seem...

When you add refrigerant to an existing A/C system (or even a brand new one for that matter) you don't do it by measuring the amount - You add refrigerant until the pressures are correct. If you take it to any A/C shop who knows what they're doing, they can A.) Check to see if the refrigerant...

Looks like somebody bought it - The listing has been removed Don

New cars become used cars when they are 'Put into Service' - Usually this happens when the first owner buys the car and titles it . . . . but, it can also happen if the dealer wants to use the car as a demo. They have to insure it differently because it's going to be driven and they must also...

*Sometimes* if you pause a tiny bit turning the key between ACC and READY, it fails to start. *Usually* if you go from OFF to READY all in one swift turn, it will start most every single time - Very rarely do I get a hiccup doing it this way Don

Lots of instances of this happening here lately - Search for 'turtle' and you can read many of them I had a similar problem with one of my cars http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4581&p=40819&hilit=turtle#p40819 Don

Yes, all the early ones came with the L6-20P on them and I believe the later ones used a 30 amp. I converted pretty much everything in my garage to L6-20's so I could plug any of them in, anywhere. With 3 iMiEV's and a Chevy Volt, I have 6 different EVSE's and all but 2 of them are 120/240...

The EVSEUPGRADE.com upgrade evolved over time. Early on, it was just a fixed 12 amps on either 120 volts or 240 volts. Mine is like that. Later on, they devised a clever way of adding variable charge amps to the upgrade, like the one Joe describes. It would help to know when the one you have...

I have no idea what the dealer would want for one, but you can buy a new one on eBay for ~$70 https://www.ebay.com/itm/MITSUBISHI-LANCER-IMIEV-OUTLANDER-SPORT-ANTENNA-MAST-ROD-OEM-8723A217/302154529148?epid=1322129038&hash=item4659d0397c:g:jJQAAOSwA3dYQGcH Don

Way cool replacement for the stock radio! . . . . but I do agree with some of your comments When we bought our first iMiEV in May of 2012, the dealer had 4 cars. Two were SE's and the other two were the SE Premium with the uprated sound/Nav system . . . . and DCQC fast charging. The...

Where did you connect it to the 12 volt battery? Because, if you plugged it into the cigarette lighter, it's not doing anything because the lighter socket isn't hot when the car is turned off If you're driving it at least once a month, it's really not needed and an unregulated charger might be...

Keep looking! When you find a '16 with a battery like the one you bought anywhere near me, I'll run out & grab it. The new(est) Raspberry I bought for Carolyn could sure use a newer battery & I'd jump all over a good one. I suppose you already put that one in your Mom's car?? Don

It can happen with any brand, especially if you run them inflated too high - Hit a chuckhole and if the tire is inflated so hard it can't flex, it will break a belt I've never run any of my tires above about 45 psi and I had a Dunlop Ensave blow apart on the front left. It was on my wife's...

The little 12 volt battery wouldn't provide 30 amps for very long (in only 15 or 20 minutes, the battery would probably be pulled down to 10 volts) and 50 amps would last even less time, so the car would need to be in 'Ready' mode so that the power is actually coming from the traction battery...

How old is the 12 volt battery? iMiEV's are notorious for all sorts of problems associated with weak 12 volt batteries, as that battery runs every computer in the car. If the battery is more than 3 or 4 years old, swapping it for a new one would be my very first troubleshooting check...
