I picked up my charger yesterday. I want to share the images of the damage. Here are the cracked resistors https://imgur.com/a/kv2rqAS Here is the bottom of the board they came out of with damaged areas circled https://imgur.com/a/DDuznXC This is where all those pins were desoldered to...

Does anyone with a newer imiev feel like disconnecting the orange connector from the front of the inverter and posting a picture of it? I'm wondering if the connector coming from the MCU will fit!

My local dealer told me this new charger was the most current part # but I’m not sure that it is going to be able to be installed with the older Ecu. The ECU has different ports and the big orange cable from the inverter plugs into the right side of the ECU. And that is where I have run into a...

So I’ve found a charger from a 2016. I’m happy because it’s very new and hopefully designed for more longevity but I’m hoping someone with a newer model can help https://imgur.com/a/1IaWZ3j It has one connector that is different as well as no filter on top. Where does the connector in the...

So I thought I found one in Salem Oregon, but they sold it yesterday! Was that someone on the forum? It went for $550. I thought I had another one in Tacoma, but they crushed the car after only removing the stereo and the motor!! unbelievable. So far that's it. Alot of wreckers have the parts...

Hi Kiev, Thanks for that. I'm going to wait for the results of your investigation into the working of the charger and see what my options are. I haven't pickup up my unit yet, but when I do I'll post some pics of that it looks like. For the moment I'm going to work on hypermiling a 2005 Honda...

Sent you a pm

Here is the latest from my inverter repair IMIEV. Took two hours to remove the 56 pin heat-sink circuit. As careful as I was, I do not believe that all of the 56 thru the board 'eyelets' came out of it intact. These eyelets allow components to be soldered in place & also provide circuit...

I just heard from the electronic repair guy who is working on my inverter Here is the body of his email: Have managed to remove the top Printed Circuit Board. Closer inspection indicates that both Resistors are Cracked and the one that is discoloured has been overheated by excessive current...

So did you remove the bottom board? If it is held only with screws then any repair job will be much simpler.

I did figure it out eventually and the inverter is now at a local shop for repair. The owner didn’t seem too confident about removing the bottom board from the box. I’ve sent him a link to this thread for reference so if anyone has any additional info that could be helpful please post it here...

I’ve found someone in my local area who can replace the resistor so I’m removing the inverter at the moment. Can someone tell me the secret to this connector? Where is the release mechanism? https://imgur.com/a/P9mZyxe Thanks

I had a good look and I don’t see any reason why I can’t remove the unit. I’ll see if I can find someone local to work on the board. Do we know what resistor to order? And where to get it? I appreciate your offer to work on it. I hope someone around here will do it but Its comforting to know...

So I finally got back into the inverter and that resistor is cracked https://imgur.com/a/CL1X54H The part # is obscured by the potting and it’s proximity to the 2nd resistor beside it. So... any guesses as if this could be the cause of the charging problem or if it is a result of another...

And there is no error light when using l1. Again I’ll check the exact sequence of the lights this evening if that’s helpful.

The charge light blinks when I plug in. I’ll open it up again tonight and photograph that component more closely. I’m really glad you saw that. I was quite disappointed when I couldn’t see anything wrong. Thank you

So I opened up the inverter again and I couldn’t see anything obviously wrong. Images of the circuit boards are below along with a closeup video scan. I wiggled all the spade connectors on the board but it didn’t change anything. Bottom of the top board https://imgur.com/a/w6eQjSW Video of...

Great , thank you! I will have a look at removing that board. I was very careful to not get debris into the electronics. I see there Is no gasket on the lid just a sealant. What type of sealant is It? I’ll need to get some.

I see the troubleshooting thread started. Looks like a lot of us are in need of help with this issue. I’m going to keep this thread going for my car. Hopefully it will help other folks who are at my level of knowledge. I’ve dug into the rear compartment and taken some photos of the internals...

Ok, cleaned the charge port with q-tips. This is what it looked like before I cleaned it. https://imgur.com/a/LFkjiVO Unfortunately there was no change in the charging behaviour. I tested it on a public charger after work. This particular charger really wanted to work so it kept...
