tomorrows job then. What do you mean test for HV voltage are we taking about 360 to 400V on a orange line? test between the input and earth or the input and return and how to I know which is what? The fuse is easy to check I guess. No idea what snubber caps are unless they are the massive...

I did brush off and air hose it before I opened it - promise - not hosed down would not be that brave! Am I right with the external EBI and does that mean that the car has had a replacement OBC at some point? I will try to find this aussie OBC thread in a bit. Do the scorch marks mean this is...

have worked my way through some of the OBC repair thread and think this is what I have and might be dealing with. I think I have an external EMI filter doghouse which was on top of the OBC charger box and unbolted from the lid complete When I opened the OBC lid I have light scorch marks on the...

Have now got a working car again with the everything lighting up and movement possible but... The pack I have fitted is clearly flat and has very little charge and my old OBC charger issue is still present which is a pain. So next step is to now try to repair this. I know that the pack did...

Solved the battery issue but changing the power cables over from the scrap car as I gather from my battery supplier that the smaller JAP type terminals are more common on an 054 type battery than the larger DIN type

Having trouble locating a part number or supply of the front control battery - mine is devoid of any markings at all. Positive terminal post is front right and is about 15mm diameter with 225mm height over the terminals main dimensions are length 185mm and width 125mm. See image Have a second...

Pack now assembled and ready to refit to the car - most cells when volt meter put over them read very similar to each other mostly around 3.56 to 3.60 volts depending on pack - considering this pack have not been in use since march and was charging funny with a dodgy red BMS unit I reckon this...

My cases identical both bolt into base case so luck may be on my side this time Bms just unscrew lots of these unclipped and transpose to new cells

Have looked carefully and started to reassemble a power-packed for my car. The low mileage car base unit has the same code on the underside and is piscine compared to my car and has one sheared bolt not about 20! So using this but the electronics are different however these unscrew quite easily...

More progress Have taken the battery pack out of the 2011 black car which had to be done but still rather scary to take the pack out of a car I had driven into the garage! Today I have stripped off the lid which was far more difficult than the low mileage car as it was much more rusty and...

interesting that you had red CMU boards with the round plug like me and we will see how the colour of the spade type car is in due course - maybe this is the marker and easy tell tale after all?

I cannot remember really but pretty certain that no lights were on but then the control battery pretty flat however the horn was the round and fitted with leads which seem to disappear in the car and the white spares car has same unit in the same place so its stock item not retro fit but the...

I took all of them off in the end neg and pos from the front control battery the two connectors are the HV connectors from underneath the seats of two different cars. One the round pin is from a 2010 "early import" style blacked out windows no electrical connection to passenger seat with no...

Sorted - silly me really left interior light on overnight after being flushed with success on getting the DTC codes. A jump battery allowed me to silence the alarm finally and then put the front drive battery back on external separate charger. What amazes me is that the alarm was still pipping...

Will try when home. Stuffed rag over it plus ear defence! Left home. Both of the cars have same unit certain it's stock item but it sound flatter than normal alarm but must be standard one. Will jump with a large battery and report back. Thanks

Help please come home tonight to find the car beeping like an alarm was going off. Its not the normal alarm, but one I have never heard before and it situated immediately beside the UK Drivers side front headlamp unit I have disconnected the front battery - did not stop so have forced my hands...

Finally success nearly went and bought a 106GBP unit but went through the system and started again with hobdrive and got success I may be wrong but none of the codes I can see seem to indicate that either of the chargers OBC or chademo are at fault but there is issues within the battery BMU and...

well have bought hobdrive and using the obd connector I use for Czero the app says it can connect to the obd connector but not then to the car. Which is very frustrating. Going to try it on a different car - mondeo - which I assume it will work but need to check if the app is a single use or can...

checked the demo version does work with my phone and dongle on a different car so going to buy it and try tomorrow

do you think the paid version of hobdrive does work or do you know it does? might be worth a try then... the chademo does work but not for long at most 12 mins and then drops out with a yellow warning light fault
