Looking for complete right-hand mirror assembly, any color. Quite a few years ago I talked my next-door-neighbor into buying a raspberry i-MiEV, which he loves and it has been his primary daily driver ever since. His right-hand mirror assembly has been torn off, thanks to a careless/clueless...

The special high voltage 20A fuse is located in the Motor Control Unit (the large assembly on the right side when you lift up the rear access panel) under the small cover plate. Ref: https://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35532#p35532 By all means pursue the possible 12v battery issue first...

Daniel11, welcome to the forum. Presumably you have also checked/replaced the HV fuse in the MCU? I'm afraid that I'm unable to help you, but, FWIW, here are some excerpts from the Mitsu manual addressing your specific DTCs. Note that incorrect DTCs can be set, not necessarily related to your...

Steve, thank you for updating the information. I've added "Updated" to the title.

I don't recall this being mentioned before (but my memory may well be fading) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ad_Mjqsl98

Progress: While visiting friends in Hollister a few weeks ago, we came across a street that had been modified during the pandemic to allow restaurants to have open-air dining (quite common around here). What caught my eye is that they had simultaneously instituted back-in parking. (This is...

As many of us suffered through the terrible (and unwarranted) reviews in the early days by automotive 'experts', it's interesting to find a fair number of articles out there that now wax nostalgic about our i-MiEVs. Here's just one example -...

So, with my OBC going out (just weeks after the warranty expired!) I've been charging exclusively using CHAdeMO until the OBC is up and running again - as a stopgap I even bought my own Setec "10kW" CHAdeMO charging station which works great but was unexpectedly awfully expensive (though still...

Mike, I hope you're successful in a quick migration of this site to a new host, as the present state of affairs is, uh, painful. :cry:

Jalovick, a belated thank you for providing this technical information, which can also prove quite useful for those of us with EV conversions. Personally, I consider dcfc a game-changer for low-capacity battery vehicles such as our i-MiEV. In my use case, it transformed the car into a much more...

Thanks, guys, for your feedback. My own website is independent from our admin's collection of My Electric Car Forums. The myimiev.com server migration that took place a few weeks ago had resulted in a few glitches and outages which we had all experienced, but I think (hope) that our admin has...

I've been utilizing my own website as a placeholder for all the photos I've been posting for the last ten years. I'm in the process of migrating my website and domain to another host and the website and thus photos have become temporarily inaccessible. Should have the photos available...

EF600, wonderful! Thank you so much for contributing to our knowledge base as this will be a valuable reference in the future. I have a dumb question: unless it is visibly physically damaged, how does one determine which wheel sensor is the culprit?

Fantastic! What a fun project. What did you include/exclude in your transplant? Now, for a sound system producing space-ship reverberations... :roll:

cdysthe, thank you for the explanation. I had not realized that the Outlander had this inverter built into it. Nowadays, Ford and Hyundai/Kia marketing is making a big deal of their ability to use the vehicles' traction battery to provide ac power through their own inverters - Ford's is...

Good for you! I had planned on doing the same but forgot and my OBC failed six weeks after the warranty expired. Hope the fuse replacement does indeed preclude the OBC failure - situation whereby "it can't hurt, might help". Ordering a fuse myself, belatedly ...

Glad it all worked out. Um, how exactly did you charge the i-MiEV? Does the Outlander have a 120vac outlet? I was going to suggest a convoluted scheme of hooking up a 1000W inverter to the PHEV's12v battery and dialing down the i-MiEV EVSE to only pull 5A, or else using a Setec CHAdeMO -->...

Hi John - nice to hear from you. Yes, our car batteries are wearing out - how many miles do you have on your i-MiEV? My original i-MiEV without CHAdeMO (which I sold to a friend seven years ago) at around 90K miles finally bit the dust not being able to go more than 20 miles with turtle...

Those big-truck neighbors might scoff, but you're laughing all the way to the bank! I am having a hard time not replying sarcastically to anyone who gripes about the cost of gasoline as they've had ten years to investigate the modern electric car. Maybe the Ford Lightning, Rivian , Cybertruck...
