43,355 miles on the odometer, checked just moments ago. Currently runs great, but sings like a turbocharger and the speed sensor is quite dribbled. The OBC has issues. It has become intermittent and will charge after connecting and disconnecting the J1772 between 1 and 8 times. The 8 is the...

This just in, photo taken Christmas Eve 2023. Despite my physical infirmities, I was pleased to discover how easily this component was removed and examined. I had no banana for scale, but I suspect that aspect is unimportant. Not so pleasant is the discovery of moisture/coolant on the body...

I've taken the plunge and replaced my defective nav unit with an incredibly expensive used item. The maps apparently have not been updated since the vehicle was manufactured, which puts it at least five years behind the failed unit previously installed. The nav unit update button indicates that...

I searched the forum and very little appears regarding the wide screen of the nav system. While underway today, in my Rav4EV (not my wife's this time), the music ceased playing and the screen displayed the calculated charge time. This particular display is that which appears when one powers off...

Due to my inability to find a shop I can trust to perform the charger replacement, I've decided to take it on myself. To that end, I plan to perform as many steps in the process as I can in each session. If I'm unable to proceed on a particular aspect, I have neighbors in better health and a...

I searched the forum and found primarily topics relating to towing things with the vehicle. In my case, it's the reverse. With my inability to physically perform a charger replacement, I had considered using a neighbor's skill set as he is a Ford dealer professional mechanic. Since that...

I can't find the thread regarding the process involved when replacing an OBC. From what I can remember, there's firmware in the charger that has to be modified to have the new charger recognized as belonging to the vehicle. The other part of this is that one can swap out a specific board(?)...

I'm hoping this forum isn't so stale as to be a shot in the dark. I've scoured as much of it as I can manage but have not really found a solution. My wife's 2013 with a bit fewer than 40,000 miles recently started failing to charge. I discovered that after three or four restarts, it will begin...

Having moved from a legacy Rav4EV to a more contemporary version (2013), we've begun the disbursement of old Rav4EV stuff. One of the more valuable items in my inventory has been the Vectronix Scan Tool with the Rav4EV module and interface. I might have given up on EVs entirely had I not had the...
