I went on a short trip for unrelated reasons yesterday and the shuddering was completely gone again. I now believe it to be unrelated to the charger repair. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to look at the position switch. I'll report back once I have. I'm expecting the switch to be the culprit.

Last night I did a full test drive and depleted the battery. It went perfectly with no shuddering at all. I then discovered that I'd forgotten to plug in the CAN plug on the top board in the OBC because the car would not charge. This triggered a fault code. Undid the lid and plugged it in. The...

Thanks. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. I'll get back with the results.

Thanks for your input. I seem to remember reading about somone else having shuddering issues, but I can no longer find it. I'll test your suggestions. I have a tiny thought that I might have forgotten to plug in the CANBUS plug in the OBC, but if that were the case I would surely get more...

Thanks to the fantastic people contributing their expertise and time to the forum I've been able to repair the OBC by replacing the snubber caps. The work was done with the OBC in the car. It is now charging fine including the 12v. I have no warning lights and all DTCs relating to charging has...

A friend suggested they are equalization/grounding straps. One reason I suspect he may be on to something is that these are the only points where the battery case rails are connected to thicker metal part which has only a thin layer of black paint as opposed to the multilayered acrylic paint of...

Yes. One grounds to the body. The other grounds the internals of the battery compartment to the battery carrying frame.

Why did Mitsubishi go through the trouble of making the floor frame plates no. 12 in the URL below? They have even gone through the trouble to use threadlocker to secure them, and to give them a special warning in the service manual. Still, I can't see them having any structural function as...

Quick update. Thanks to Hobdrive and an old ELM327 OBD adapter I was able to reset fault codes. I found one persistent one related to grounding of the OBD charging plug. Turns out I had overlooked the connector from the charge port to the OBC which is behind the rear bumper. Plugged it in and...

The 12V battery is now charged enough tto allow the car to go into ready mode and spin the wheels. The 12V is definetly getting power from the DC/DC, which is good. I will still replace this battery as it is clearly damaged from sitting too long. I'm still unable to charge with the level 1...

Thanks. That's a relief. I will change it later and see.

Hello. Thanks for the great forums and sorry for making my first post a request for help. This is not intended to be a trouble shooting thread, but I would appeciate if you could point me in the right direction so I can narrow down my searches in the forum. I just completed re-installing the...
