Folks,
I'm started a new thread with similar but different issues than
CampbellMeister's.
Today I took my EV out for a 40-mile errand. No problems at all on
the way out - free-flowing highway all the way. I was out of the van
for about 2 hours. When I got back in to come home, I turned on the
ignition and the temp warning light immediately blinked and continued
blinking. Temp gauge was low - not hot at all. I drove for about 5
miles and pulled into a "service" station and read the owner's manual,
which says it's either a coolant level issue, a blown rad fan fuse, or
a v-belt off a water pump(!). Well, this "service" station had no
water, but I verified the coolant was high enough. The fuse was not
blown. I started it up and the light went off, so I drove it down the
highway. After about 10 minutes it started blinking again. I pulled
off again and turned off the motor. After about 5 minutes, I started
up and the blinking light was off, and didn't come on again and I made
it home with no issues. It should be noted that at no time did the
temp gauge go up beyond a normal level.
I'm about to embark on a 600 mile round trip this weekend (hopefully).
Any thoughts on what I'm seeing here?
Thanks,
Kenny C.
