As many if you know my running conversion was doing well, that is until I gave it for Paint spray.
While it sat in the garage, I had switched off the 12V going in to the motor and the shop guy did leave the Ign Key to ON. This kept the DC-DC conv running for about 2 or 3 weeks and drained 4 batteries completely. When I charged the Pack, those 4 batteries really were bloated.
In the meanwhile, the +terminal (~100V) of the battery was shorted to the Alum Battery shell, in turn the Body of the car. Luckily, the -ve terminal was not shorted, so the car and the shop didn't blow-up.
When this happened, the components inside the controller went bad, it threw error code 41, 45, 69. I sent to to HPEV and they confirmed controller was bad and recommended to send it FSIP. Now the controller is back, when I reconnected everything, no more error messages, nice flashing yellow lights on the controller. No error message in the Programming app. When I press accelerator, the Throttle shows varying Voltage, as I continue to press the PB8 with Hall Effect.
But no power to the motor. It shows motor temp (15c), RPM (obviously 0), but it doesn't spin. I'm lost. I'll call HPEVS tomorrow (hope they are open). Both Bill and Brian are very helpful through out. Its been a pleasure working with them.. Thanks guys!!!
In the meanwhile, I want to see if you have any suggestions for me to try out for my current situation of no-power to the motor.
