I have a 2011 Vantage EVX1000 that ran great for 2 years, now its cutting it self back and kind of bucking. im getting code 69 Controller: 1238, Fault: 69 Fault Name: External Supply Out of Range. Action: None, unless a action is programmed in VCL. Fault Cause: 1. External load on the 5V and 12V supplies draws either too much or too little current. 2.

As an impulse buy, I picked up a Vantage EV1000 extended cab from an auction. The idea is it would be a little runaround on 5 acres. It had no batteries or charger or documentation. It’s rather rusty (the hood was cut off as the hinges wouldn’t open. Worst case would be using the drive train in another application, and the little bed on a garden trailer.

I bought a vantage truck w/o batteries or charger. It has a Curtis 1238 72v controller. I put in 6 12v large lead acid batteries to get 72v (reads 76v). The BDI still reads zero and the screen says “shutting down”. There are no errors and the battery voltage reads 76v at the 1313 programmer. It doesn’t engage in forward or reverse. Just a red light on the BDI and ‘shutting down’.

Hi All: If there's a better sub-forum for this question, please let me know! I'm looking for a quick-and-dirty CAN logger to grab data and would appreciate any recommendations. I know I can probably build an Arduino-based system but am looking for an inexpensive purchase solution so I can get some data quickly. I'll pursue a custom solution later this year.

I’ve always loved Karmann Ghias and they’ve always been near the top of my list for conversions. This donor was too good of a deal to pass up. The previous owner stripped it down to the chassis, did all of the restoration work, got it dipped and primed, and then got a divorce and had to sell it. Whole thing for $3000. Body is in pristine shape, comes with all new lights, window rubber, alloy wheels, wire harness and more.

I have a couple new Ultium 102kWh packs from a Cadillac Lyriq/GM Blazer and I was wondering if anyone has any info on the wireless BMS system that this is supposed to use. Ideally I would like to try to interface with it as the factory intended but I know the chances of that is really slim and I may have to open it up and install a normal BMS.

I want to take these 2.6kw 16s chrysler pacifica battery modules and turn them into modular packs using I think an ANT 8-20s relay bms and a big contactor. The idea being they will be a fully enclosed package with a big positive and negative, along with some simple control level wires. Everything will be isolated so that they can be put in series. So then I can take them and run two in series, or 4 in series parallel, with the idea being they are swappable like a power tool battery.

OK, so I recently bought a Jaguar I-Pace and have been browsing ipaceforums.co.uk intent on signing up once I got around to it. Reading [link] I saw the statement "There must be good modules in faulty batteries that can be swapped into others, there is a risk factor, the risks are known but it’s no greater than working with mains electricity." amd promptly fell out of my chair in horror.

Twenty years ago I bought this 1987 Toyota Le Van or Space van, started a restoration, got another one for parts, then life got in the way and the little van sat in a driveway or under a carport, in a warehouse or a storage park and now under the lean-to of my newly build workshop. I need to get back into it, I need the space, I could use the vehicle every day.

Project summary : Take an old, pre-2000s class A diesel pusher to a P2 hybrid, able to operate as a PHEV for short ranges, but leaves the ICE able to couple to the drivetrain. Motivation : Increase efficiency, easier availability of AC power for general use in the RV.

I have been setting up my test bench again using my 1238 controller and my AC-50. I believe I had it all correct and the controller is throwing no faults and the motor does turn but very slowly and jerky. It is recording the RPM and Amperage and the Amperage is pretty high when throttling up and the torque is like it could move the house. Not sure where I have the parameters wrong but I was wondering if anyone out there that has the 1238 and the AC-50 might be able to shot me a copy of the.

Hi, The car is a Sunbeam Alpine, last driven in the 1980s (and definitely now inoperable), currently with my great-uncle in Arkansas. He's excited to see my dad and me convert it to an EV. The first step is to get it at or near my folks' place in Louisiana, where, frankly, it might sit a few years until we get this project fully underway. There is no garage at the house, so we need a different solution for storing the car.

Now that I am trying to get it going again I'm getting the error "47" When the key switch is activated the contactor closes. I replaced the Curtis PB-8 throttle, checked that the connections were clean and correct and made sure the key switch was working but no luck.

Hi, I am looking for help to save my car from the scrap yard. It passed its MOT but I knew it wasn't right. The brakes would stop working if applied for a long period when going down a hill. The problem was the TEVES II (combined MC, servo and abs unit). I was told that these were never fully supported even in the 80's so a new system is needed.

Hi All, Here is my Stock EVC project - first, 'Stock EVC' means I'm ONLY replacing the ICE engine and ANYTHING that feeds it. So, all fuel, obviously, power steering pump, radiator (at least in size), etc., etc., etc. The line of demarcation is the bellhousing - from the bellhousing back through the power train (and forward from the transfer case to front diff) - all stock and NOT upgraded or touched.

I was looking at a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week looked great, low miles, clean title (according to the seller). I asked for the VIN and did a free check using NICB. Boom it was flagged as a salvage title from Florida. Seller said he “didn’t know” and then ghosted me.

I recently bought an MG4 from a salvage auction in South Australia. It is recorded as a "written off vehicle" meaning can not be repaired and reregistered in Australia. I'm guessing because it is an EV and the authorities had no idea regarding what is safe and what is not, and the insurance company that sent it to auction didn't want the hassle of having to get it repaired.

Hello, Any information going around on the Tesla's air conditioner compressor? I am looking for the a/c system options for my conversion. I settled on driving a typical Sanden R134 compressor from the tailshaft of the motor. Yet maybe the Tesla compressor is good? Any idea what voltage it takes in? How many amps could it draw?
