Hi All,

I've had my WX10 registered i-MIEV now for 6 months (the original one with non-standard J1772 charging with no control box on the charging cable). Loving the EV but it has developed an odd intermittent fault. Sometimes when the indicator is used the alarm sound comes on (see video below)

It happens at all speeds, both left and right. Mostly it sounds for the first 2-4 clicks then goes away. Occasionally the same sound occurs when locking the car and the indicators flash. It's phenomenally loud and freaks out cyclists and pedestrians. I am taking it to a garage next week but they admitted they have little EV experience and I'm afraid of getting charged a lot for nothing. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. Thanks in advance
 
That's certainly an interesting problem. Off the top of my head, it sounds like the ETACS ECU is messed up.
