Mike, How much of the manual do you think would be of use on line, and can we do it? Don, the scanner man. ... From: "Mike Chancey" <evtinker@...> To:...

Hi Rod and all, Okay, old messages are now visible. I had it set to do that already, but for some reason it wasn't happening. Thanks, Mike Chancey, '88 Civic...

Rod, Thanks for the lead. I'll check it out. At this point, the charger appears to have stopped working, so shift cables are of secondary interest. Can you...

Bryan, I wrote the software for the charger (some minor changes were done on the newer PFC versions) and also did some of the hardware design. I may be able to...
Rod, Thanks for your help. At this point, I believe that I have two problems. I'll describe both, in case I am missing something. 1. Three times, while...

I was working on the van this weekend and noticed the heat did not work. So I broke out the manual and located the fuse holder on the outside firewall. There...
Rod, My TEVan came with all fuses in it, but I don't have an emeter, so I don't know if it draws anything with the heater off or not (I haven't noticed any ...

Gentlemen, I have found that the range is really cut down when using the heater. No smells or anything unusual. My wife drives it to work every day, but she ...

Dave, You could be right about residue burning off. The van sat for years before Mike got it, then I'm sure he had no reason for the heater during the period...
I checked the website, groups.yahoo.com/group/tevan and I'm the only person that has posted pictures (16 total). It would be nice to see some of the other...
Rod, Haven't even checked out the site, but my van is on the EVDL photo album. Mike Chancy has the digital pictures. I need to take some more, though. Dave ...

Dave, Thanks, I know most of the TEVans are on the photo album at austinev.org, but it would be nice to see them all on our new site. Thanks again to Mike for...
Hi folks, I just got a call from Don Buckshot, and he reported his TEVan (NiFe) is down to about 15 to 18 miles range. The dash mounted fuel gauge drops to E ...
Mike, This sounds very similiar to what my TEVan (NiCad) was doing. Of course, the next thing that happened was that the charger stopped working too. Last ...

Hello, 18 miles range? That's pretty crappy for the NiFe's. Either a battery is bad or there is a loose connection somewhere. Maybe Don could change the E...
I think everybody knows I have extra parts here. If there is a serious problem with a burnt controller I can fix it. The biggest problem with the TEVan was the...
Maybe I will try the other American Monarch GPD-I, 216V charger I got with the van and see if the original charger is not "fillin' them up" after I return home...

Dave, Any NiCd's sitting around? check out my web page, hower.iwarp.com You're right about the low/high switch and regen. I have the software attached to this...
Regen occurs whenever you hit the brakes, whether you are in low or high gear. The regen should increase as you press harder on the brake pedal, but I have...
Rod, I looked at your web page and had trouble with some of the links. Clicking on the pictures did nothing, but the links on the left worked. Saw the ...
