OK, nobody freak out because it really only applies to people doing goofy things (I think). I had the CANION hooked up to the I-MiEV last night and was charging it with my homebuilt quick charger that connects through the Chademo connector. I noticed a couple of things of interest. The...

You have to remove the center console (easy---snap out the trim cover and remove the screws) to access the adjuster. The procedure is to first loosen the adjuster to get some slack in the cables, then (with the motor switch on) pump the brakes several times to make sure the self adjusters for...

The only way you will be able to put a cruise control on an I-MiEV will be with something like a Rostra system. They have units that operate an electric servo to move the throttle on "normal" cars. Although usually hooked to the accelerator linkage under the hood, it could also be made to move...

My post on the previous page has a link. The pictures are near the end of the post---read the entire thread and you will know everything you need to know about this.

Search the forum for posts about "corrosion". I think you will find a few recommendations. Basically, IMO, rustproofing would not help the I-MiEV very much as there are so many areas that couldn't be protected that really need it. I feel strongly that the I-MiEV needs to be flushed underneath...

I really like the look of the "rest of the world" I-MiEV with the single windshield wiper system. I don't like the passenger side wiper (as one member described it as looking like Ultra-man). It also causes a problem with the single washer nozzle on the drivers side. It seems to take most of...

Yes, that was it. I watch for them every once in a while. This one was going for more then I was willing to jump in for. The problem is a vehicle with a salvage title is a pain in the butt to deal with. With trade in values so low on a used I-MiEV (competing with the new low MSRP) it is...

A 2012 I-MiEV just went for auction on Copart today. It had front end damage and although not repairable under normal conditions, it could be repaired with proper parts. I have a 2012 I-MiEV that I have taken apart that had rear end damage. I have all the parts that would be required to put...

I agree with your distribution charts. I am just saying that the physical location of the final battery in the I-MiEV pack puts the battery with the #64 sensor inline with the coolant tubes. Therefore, more then one sensor should be impacted. Your chart is correct IMO, however the entire...

If the coolant tubes running close to the last battery module is causing a rise in temperature in the sensors, it should be reflected in more then one sensor. The battery module that should have sensor #64 in it should be the last module in the string. This is a four cell module that runs...

The info can be found here--- http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1515 . There are some pictures of the actuator and what the control lever looks like. Once you remove the wire connector from the actuator and the two screws you are all set. The control lever can be left in the "cool...

Just drove by my Mitsubishi dealer (R.C. Hill in Deland, FL.) and spotted a new I-MiEV on the lot. Pearl white, ES with zero options. Got it in yesterday. MSRP was 22.6 K. QC and aluminum wheels are now standard. Everything else looked like the old (now we can call it "classic") I-MiEV...

I also have the temperature anomaly at sensor #64. I don't know what causes it but it is apparent during charging, not operation. When the car has been sitting (not on charge) all 66 sensors read the exact same temperature. I have given up worrying about it. As far as the temperature buildup...

The dash mounting is a little weird on the I-MiEV. The right side bolts with two regular bolts coming in from the side of the dash. However, before I tightened the right side, I would loosen the left side. This is because the dash is designed to be tight on the right side and adjusted on the...

How many potholes did you hit? From the pictures, there is more than one dent in that rim. Like others have suggested, I would try to get it back into shape (until pothole season subsides). It really is time for a new rim. Just take a good look at the tire from time to time to make sure...

Does anybody's I-MiEV lock "straight with the key"? I have two of them and both lock the column with the steering wheel about 90 degrees from center. Just a question.

They might be worried about damage to the parking pawl in the reduction gear if you leave it in "park". Even on a trailer, the car wants to move around a little as the straps stretch or move putting a lot of strain on the pawl. I would leave it in neutral and set the parking brake when I had...

A marine supply is a good place to find the rocker switch you need. Several uses for this kind of switch on a boat---bilge pump, off, on, auto or navigation lights, off, running, anchor. There is a surplus store I visit that has switches the will fit in the switch holes to the left of the...

The feature writer must have been trying hard to add "new" features. The shoulder harness adjusts vertically on my "old" I-MiEV. In addition, along with some others, already moved my seat heater switch to the left side identical to the 2014 position. I guess I can tell everyone I have a 2014...

Alright, if you want the lights down on the lower panel, you are right next to the connector you need to tap into for your dome light power. The connector is named C39 and has ten pins in it. There are two connectors at this location which is behind the black panel right were the seat back and...
