Has anybody tried installing LiIon Batteries in a Force yet? I'm interested in trying to install some, so if nobody has tried can someone answer these...
My Force just started doing this also. What does the pump look like? I want to make sure I'm unbolting the right thing! -Leonard ... From: "Gordon Stallings"...
In my cars the pump is on the drivers side of the car attached by three bolts (arranged in a triangular fashion) to the long metal cross brace that the motor...
FYI from Solectria's Kevin Doherty: Early forces had a small pump with a grapefruit sized ball for vacuum. Later forces have a larger vacuum with the exhaust...
My '97 Force has the pump just behind the front of the car between the headlights, on the driver's side. It has the black vacuum ball on the passenger side,...
After my '99 Force vacuum pump was replaced back in '00, the solectria tech, Ben Macri, pointed out that often a pump that wouldn't shut off could be cured by...

Folks: When I got into my 1992 Force this morning, the belt between the motor and the transmission broke and the motor now spins helplessly when I put my foot...
I just received a call from a Force owner that is not on this list who's car just died. She was driving it along and is shuttered and then made a grinding...
That almost sounds like what my second Force was like when I got it. Mine would make awful crunching noises when pushed by hand, but when you applied power it...
I had heard of belt failures but never gear box failures. I'll let her know. We will need to find someone that can take the motor assembly out of the car for...
I jut had a second thought on this. You might want to also check the CV joints. It is rare, but I have heard of a CV joint failing (though not on an EV) and...

Hey, This is my first time on the board. I've looked at the other messages and didn't find a match to my problem. On my 1992 Geo metro Force, which I've had...

Hi All I am new to this forum with a red 97 Force. My question is: what is the cost to charge the batteries? A vague question indeed, but I am living in a...
Here is a rough and ready way to calculate this. Make the assumption that you get 3 miles per KWH (that will be pretty close to your actual). Now your cost...
Noel's calculation is a good, easy way to do this. Don't charge on 110 vac for too long. It is very hard on the charger. The 110vac option is not intended to...
Peter, I too have a NiMH Force 4 door (1996 model). I have converted to PbA, however I still have all the original paperwork. I'll check to see if I have...
If you telephone Solectria don't just leave a number, keep trying. Kevin, at Solectria, said that was the best way, just keep calling until you get him. I...
I will echo Will's advice. Don't charge on the 110 for too much longer. I killed my first charger by using too much 110. I had to replace it with a new one...
This is very dicouraging. My charger developed a tick. I thought that I could get it repaired. It is so old that there is no information on it. Solectria has...
Solectria has been selling an alternative charger that they make. Do they not have those anymore? If not there are other options, including the PFC-50 or...
... When I needed a new charger three years ago, I was tempted to try building my own. But I ended up buying a Zivan NG-3; it was under a thousand dollars. I...
