Hello,
The car has 7 years and 66000km. After driving the car for an hour or so the red triangle light went on and a few minutes later a total loss of power. Back at home, the car doesn't charge and doesn't heat the battery either and the red triangle light stays on when trying to charge or start the car. OVMS fault command seems to indicate an internal isolation fault (see attached image). Doesn't look good, right?

Hi,

I'm having a weird issue with headlights. From time to time (last time yesterday) the light switch stops working properly and the low beams don't turn on when the switch is in position. Additionally, if I pull the lever to activate the high beams, they turn on but don't stay on when releasing the lever. It stays that way for a while (may be hours or even days) until eventually (still don't know why and how) the high beams stay on on a pull and pulling again the lever, the high beams go off and the low beams turn (magically) on. After that, usually the lights works fine again or I have to repeat the procedure (light switch + pull twice the lever) for a few days or weeks in order to turn on the low beams. I'm fearing the whole thing breaks down and I'm no able to drive in the night anymore.

This last time, when I detected the problem, the car had been for two days without charging or been connected, and 12V battery voltage went down to 12,2V (from OVMS reading), but this battery has been changed less than two years ago and I haven't had any issues with it until now.

Any thoughts about what could be the "culprit"?

thanks

Hi, I have left the car outside in the cold for 3 days and when I came back it refused to start. Power limit flashing, some weird sounds and the symbol of the battery in red. The car doesn't charge either. I read 10v in 12v battery from OVMS and also windows go up and down very slowly.  From other threads I suspect (and hope) 12v battery is the culprit. Anybody has tried to recharge it using one charger/manteiner connected to the 12v outlet (cigarette lighter) or it should be better to connect directly to the battery? Does the procedure from the image below also apply to zebra Thinks when trying to access to the battery?

Thanks

Hi:

I have bought one of these (see photo below) in eBay. It's not the nicometer but looks good in dashboard and provides time, in & out temp and 12v battery status.

Only one problem. Think's cigarette lighter doesn't cut power when car is shut down and backlight remains lit, so I have to disconnect manually to prevent too much drainage from 12v battery.

Is there any DIY way not too complicated to connect the clock other way in order to get it disconnected automatically?

Hello Th!nkers:

Sorry but only English (or spanish  )

I know th!nkers are switching now to Tesla in Norway but here in Spain we are 2-3 years behind and we are starting with EV's now. For me a Think city is a good start while waiting for model 3 (or another similar) to come.

Anyway, first question for owners. How many more km's of range after the "petrol" gauge starts blinking?  I didn't dare to test by myself:
