Good eye Chris, from what I saw it was a bad crimp. It may be both, usually there's a crimp AND a solder. I haven't seen or held one in mine hand so I don't know for sure. Someone else mentioned a buss bar as well, I saw where there is a buss bar connecting a bunch of positive cables. Looks like...
Welcome to the club, you barely made it, but you nailed it..no room to spare..did you have to plan out those last miles? I hope others stop on by and participate. Welcome
You know you rescued those people came from your heart, its in your blood, mine started as a job but once you get bit by it its in your blood.
I want to run out right now and tear the cables apart, but I got to have a contingency plan. I am very methodical and meticulous. I have been called...
Java, good review of fire extinguisher methodology, I am trained old school, got a week at treasure island. We were still using the old foam organic in nature. Blood and guts, stuff stunk!! We were introduced to lite water in the 70s. And then our new small boats had Halon. Halon was pretty...
Deltona, I m glad I did CG when 18, I learned several careers, learn discipline, got a jump on life, worked with environments, saved millions of dollars of property, and I even saved a couple lives along the way.
You have done well as well, time Flys by so fast. I still have alot to do yet. I...
Good posts, mav, good thought with VIN.
I have an air bag B1413 front left sensor error code, besides that everything is just fine. I just need to know if mine has bad solder connection, for reliability. I don't really like dealerships to repair, I still have no less then 3 problems with my...
Thx for your input, yours is an early build, have you had any problems with yours yet?
This is why I am trying to decifer some collected data, to make that determination. Just reading on here, it seems to be fairly wide spread. Its got my attention. It may just be a handful, but could be the...
I would wait a couple years for when the solid state batteries are out, synthetic no metals. Good thoughts here as I have been wanting to move battery to under hood, that way I could repair/replace the defective battery cables as well. The 12v takes up alot of my grocery getting space under the...
Alot of it self taught, worked as a engineering tech as well, I picked up some here, a little over there, school, Community College, solder classes, and good old books. I never turn down a chance to learn, ask lots of questions. I served in Coast Guard in 70s, worked on everything. You know how...
Thx, for your input, I was wanting to see if it affected my Mav, but regardless I will tear into mine that way I know its taken care of.
I will wait a couple days for replies and try and put things together for other members.
Are there any limitations of things to know disconnecting the 12v...
Thanks to all you previous members that have done the footwork and handled the hassell of dealing with the dealerships.
I have a good grip on this, I will perform my own repair. I have worked in Semiconductor maintenance for 17y and 13yrs as a PCB board tech, I gave soldering classes to fellow...
I guess my Mav is different, I can start mine drive it out of driveway, down the block and then downhill 1.25m, while charging, then get on the highway until I get up to boot 35mph. Before the ICE powers on.
I live in Texas, get in it everyday when its about 90°, and it has about half charge by...
