    Not Charging. Main Inverter Fuse blown

    Thanks JoeS. I've been scrounging around trying to find a used one for almost a week now. Nothing. What I really want to know is, what went wrong with the current one? I bet it's actually nothing expensive to fix at all, but it's much easier for them to simply force you to replace the...

    Not Charging. Main Inverter Fuse blown

    No luck. The fuze pops while charging the car. So it looks like I'll be buying a replacement. Merry (expletive deleted by moderator) Christmas to me. :x @Kiev, i'm having them give me the old one. I'll send it to you if you'd like to check it out. Any other advice or help would be...

    Not Charging. Main Inverter Fuse blown

    @Kiev, thank you so much for your response! It really means a lot to me. I will contact the dealer and get the codes and post them. Until then here is what I know. First the Aux battery, is less than a year old. I did hook it up to a battery charger and charge it to full, to make sure the...

    Not Charging. Main Inverter Fuse blown

    Well, bad news, the fuse blew again. Now they want to replace the MCU. And you're right, the cost is and outrageous $4800. Need help! What should I do? the car is over 5 years old (less than 6) and has 60,680 miles on it, so I'm out of warranty. I'm desperate here. Does anyone know where...

    Not Charging. Main Inverter Fuse blown

    Edit: This post is incorrect. The main charging unit is the issue No, I don't have a ChadiMo So I got a new traction pack about a year ago, under warranty. Everything has been great. Then, last week, I plugged in and charged the car from 1 bar to full. It had been a long time since the...

    Traction battery going bad or something else?

    Greetings. I would recommend taking it to the dealership and getting the battery replaced under warranty right away. I say that, because that's what I had to do! This was a little more than a year ago. The car had 50k+ miles on it, and was purchased in Jan of 2012. I'm not upset about...

    Warning Light after hill climb

    JoeS -- High 80's. Maybe 92%, tops. looking at my driving and charging times, I basically had current running into and out of the battery, non-stop for 5+ hours. Is it just me, or is the Exclamation Point Over Car warning light our "catch all" trouble light? I looked, and we don't have a...

    Warning Light after hill climb

    Has anyone else had the Exclamation Mark warning light come on following a lot of high speed driving and a major hill climb? This hasn't happened to me before, or since. Basically, I had a very busy day with my Meever. 8am to 8:30am-- Drove to get some coffee and do some city sight seeing: 15...

    Remote Start?

    Anyone know of, or have experience with adding Remote Start to an i-MiEV? Reason: It's nice to preheat the car before I get in it. Yes, I know I can use the Remote dongle to heat the car, but only when plugged in. It would be really nice to get into a warm car, when i'm not plugged in.

    Will battery charge WHILE precooling or preheating?

    On a personal note, I've found that even 5 min of pre-heat/cooling helps my range substantially. It's almost always a good idea. Anyone know of or constructed a "blanket" for the heating heating fluid reservoir? Seems like a good idea.

    My next EV: Other EVs to consider

    We have our i-MiEV and a Subaru Outback. We're pretty sure we'll never replace the i-miEV. It's just to perfect for our needs (commute, errands, and fits in the garage SO WELL). I just can't stand owning a gas car anymore. The i-MiEV ruined me. So as soon as we can replace the Subaru with...

    ANY reports of really expensive repairs problems with MiEVs?

    jray3. My warranty states I should have no more than 20% capacity loss at 5 years or 50K miles, and no more than 30% capacity loss at 8 years or 100k miles. I had to sign it. Frankly, at 8 years/100k miles, if I've still got 70% of starting capacity, i'll be very happy.

    Why does Mitsubishi recommend fully charging every 2 weeks?

    acensor, I hope this helps. The car is actually never charged to 100% of the battery capacity. It could have been, but Mitsubishi intentionally limited the amount of voltage each battery can take. I'm sure this is specifically to ensure a long life and limit the rate of pack degradation. So...

    Pump noises

    That's very interesting. Do both cars have identical pumps?

    Pump noises

    Are you sure you're not confusing the Brake Pump and the Coolant Pump with each other? One makes a whine, the other a low hum.
