more testing done, relay works resistors work. capacitors work(tho i would like to confirm how they would be checked i checked connection between polls and inverter cables. but im unsure where to check upstream) the black capacitor and the resistors have no visible cracks or damage/ resistors...

my plan is to hopefully pry it open, from the top, visually inspect, manually override while ac charging, to prove that's the only issue. if it is ill replace the relay. if not then the car haha(joking...not really )

sory yes i tested the relay by checking resistance across nutural then i energised it with 5v as sugested, it made a click but no change in the resistance(it was a close circut, sugesting its a naturaly closed circuit ?)

i was under the assumption my issue was at the relay, as when its energised, it has no reaction. tho i will have to pull off waffle to correctly repair. as for the below having a glance at it it seems straight forward but im also cautious in my ability to intemperate correctly. i suppose time...

https://imgur.com/a/a3djB1i i removed some putty already to look for damage, none able to be found as yet

that was in reference to the capacitor board. there was heat scorching on the putty near relay and resistors. ive started to pull putty out but nothing found yet. picture to come but nothing really to be seen

Kiev The very bottom was blown out sideways. Lots of black stuff nearby No hairline cracks but haven't cleared putty out yet. No dongle that works. (Have a cheap.bluetooth one but yet to find. App.that works) Resistance checks. Black to L (on the white strip). No resistance (closed...

Inverter fuse was checked. Inverter also visually inspected. I did notice tody slight heat marks on the potting near relay and resistors and coil.(in dog house) they all visually look fine and I've started cleaning the potting out. Will be checking nutural and life (black.white spades)...

2010 imiev, 80xxxkm, ac side of the obc. hey all who read this 2020 claimed another beloved electric brick. while ugly and under appreciated my imiev is a valued member of the family and its hurting(was this many years old and didn't realise its un-named =O ) so any and all help to getting...

1. Year and mileage on your iMiev: 2010 80xxxkm 2. OBC failure experience: currently working thru failure. 3k capacitors blown, and something else..... 3. 12V Battery Condition, Age: looks new(car is 1year old to me) 4. 12V Battery Maintenance Frequency and Procedures: voltage is 12.14...
