You don't need the cover, it's probably just there because of the liability lawyers. As long as you have the main cover on it, everything is safe.
Yeah, the Prius warms up automatically because most drivers don't care or would not make the best choice for when to allow it. I like the manual...
You could always put the car in EV mode until you are clear of your parking maneuvers. It's much easier to hear if you actually do hit something...
Yeah, it's easy to not notice the tab at first. I didn't notice it until I took the nut off to add the wire shown in the picture!
Keep in mind, at full-tilt, the Prius DC/DC converter only puts out about 100A. This is less than 2 horsepower which is trivial. It's almost...
No this will not solve it. If the engine temp is staying around (or below) 170, then the thermostat is never opening in the first place. All the...
Set the blower on high, and then try the "kick" method described above. If this works, then it is indeed your blower motor.
Re: New Prius peculia start-up problem Yes, Jim is right. New batteries can have problems right from the factory, in addition, it could have...
The "black stuff" in the bottom of the motor is carbon from the worn brushes. This is normal for a brushed DC motor, is it not something that...

Here's one I spotted in Beijing: [IMG] Slightly OT, but here's what they are using for the city cops, it's a crappy knock-off of a Ford Think:...
Running the fan is just a precaution. I wouldn't want any venting. He is in Australia, so I have no idea what the ambient temp the battery is...
There are a lot easier ways of stealing most cars (without towing) rather than the method described. The point of adding technology is to make it...
Normally the vent does nothing. It's there in case of a fault that causes an overcharge. Normal charging does not vent anything, if it did,...
You aren't supposed to attach to the stud, if you look closely above it, you will notice a tab, clamp to this instead: [IMG]
Re: Is it possible to mode a Lexus 400h into plug-in hybrid? If someone wants to buy me a 400h, I'll come up with a system like mine! ;-)
The problem is the Prius engine is more efficient than most, so there is little waste heat. Even when the thermostat stays closed, the blast of...
So do you have the battery fan running also? (I described how to enable it)
