Things needed to make the EV mobile again:<\/p>\n
1) Complete the positive-side high voltage wiring under the shifter.<\/p>\n
(need to get 1″ conduit nipple)<\/p>\n
2) Rewire the inverter interface<\/p>\n
(first phase: just connect the activation line to FWD instead of REV – need to look up which color FWD is)<\/p>\n
(second phase: build interface board for mk3 controller with sensor inputs for all inverter outputs and relays for all inverter inputs.)<\/p>\n
3) Fix the power line leading to the water pump and vacuum pump<\/p>\n
(Probably temporarily with crimps, because it will need redone as part of the second phase of the inverter interface rewiring)<\/p>\n
4) Install HV shield on inverter<\/p>\n
5) Reinstall inverter and reconnect cooling system and refill<\/p>\n
(Should be no big deal)<\/p>\n
6) Reconnect front battery pack<\/p>\n
(maybe should order some new washers)<\/p>\n
7) Replace access cover on motor<\/p>\n
While in the past this has looked completely overwhelming, today I’m not feeling like it’s that much work. I already swapped the L1 and L2 input wires on the motor to deal with the whole forward-reverse thing today. While not as ideal as being on a lift, the jackstands approach I’ve taken seems to be totally viable – I was able to work under the car fairly easily. I’m hoping to have it back on the road by the end of the month. Of course it helps that my #1 job is paying me in stock again, which gives me incentive to work on my own projects instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
