Okay, just got some information. Would you prefer that I call you or should we keep it in the thread? -Rick

Hmm....sounds interesting. Let me check into options and cost. What kind of range of time might you need to make the repair (dependent on what you find of course) ? Ideal for me would probably be to rent a trailer and make an early morning run to San Marcos to get the EV there when you open...

I'm tempted to take you up on that, Tony. Do you mean bring the EV to the shop or bring the converter? I'm about 230 miles away.

Thanks again for your time fromport! I would love to open the unit and have a look, but I'm a little intimidated by the two high voltage cables and also the coolant system. On paper it looks easy; remove 4 bolts, 8 cables and 2 coolant lines and I'd have the converter on my garage workbench...

Just to add some more weirdness to this, i just noticed that plugging the 40A traction battery-charger in seems to draw heavily from the 12v battery. I had the 12v on a trickle charge overnight and now, in the morning, it indicated it was charging at about 1 amp meaning I have a full 12v...

Update: Thanks for the replies fromport and miimura! I've read everything that was suggested on the DC/DC converter, including the breakdown posts from ddoxey and TonyWilliams. I also got my hands on a digital multimeter to confirm what my old analog meter was telling me, which it did. The...

Thanks miimura! That's what I was thinking too, but I don't know what to do next on the troubleshooting ladder. At fromport's suggestion, I just ran a continuity test on every fuse in all four fuseboxes, but no luck. I'm having trouble understanding why the DC-DC converter wouldn't have a...

Thank you for your reply fromport! There is small red battery icon below the Driving Range graph on the right side of the dash display. It has two battery posts and a +(plus) and a -(minus) sign and can be seen, along with all the other warning indicators, when you first fire up the EV. They...

Greetings all, this is my first post, I've got a 2012 EV with ~70K miles on it and other than having the fuses replaced in the onboard charger ($1.2K), it's been a relatively trouble-free vehicle. My 12v battery failed on me a couple of days ago. I was surprised because it's less than a year...
