My recommendation is to manually bypass everything going from the charger & dash to the AC controller and set it up as if you have a homebuilt car. The sensors in the AC car (as you see) die and disable the car when there is really nothing other than non-replaceable sensors bad inside the dash circuitry.


Good Luck

Thanks Ryan. Treating it like a homebuilt EV is how I keep my spirits up. Of course I was hoping to be ahead of the game, buying one for my first EV, but it's far from a total loss. All the major components are there, I just need to rewire the potbox and the controller mostly. I have been too busy on a personal house renovation project, but will post progress here or ecomodder, when there is some. If you want to buy one, I got this one for a grand from a Montana ranch lease sell off. They still had a couple last I knew. I can send info. Montana / Wisconsin might not be too expensive a drive.
