Jim, My service manual consists of a Chrysler service manual for the van, plus a supplement for the TEVan. The supplement is not bound and would be easy to...

Jim, The battery overflow tank and resivior has 5 systolic pumps inside. SAFT recommends a maximum of 6 batteries in series for a single watering pump. The...
Rod & Jim, I think you just need a female half of the "quick" disconnect to be able to allow water to flow into the quick disconnect fitting in the gas tank...

Mine has an override switch on the watering controller. If I want to force a watering cycle, I just toggle the switch and the watering cycle begins. Dave...

I e-mailed him and we are going to get together to pick up the manual. He only lives about 6 blocks from me! (When he called me Sunday AM he said someone else...
Dave, You say your TE Van has a toggle switch for the wartering system, ours does also. I thought that this might have been something that my local utility...
On mine, there is a watering control box under the hood on the driver's side. It is located over the DC/DC converter and has several toggle switches on it...

Watering control box? On the driver side of mine there (was) an added on box with a transducer and 3 current transformers in it. That's how I figured out which...
The watering cycle may not occur for 4 or 5 charging cycles, depending on depth of discharge. Have patience "grasshopper" Don ... From: <jwolfe@...> ...

Jim, Doesn't look like I'm going to be much help. Mine doesn't have that white box at all. My charger power cable (the red one in your photo) goes directly...

All of these modifications were made by the utility companies or other people after I left GE. I wrote the original software that forced watering after the...
Dave, The white box on my van contained a transducer and three CT's to measure the AC current while charging. I have since removed it as the system was ...
Tevan Group, A while back, I received the attached Operations/Technical Manual for the NiCad batteries from Louis Magnarella at SAFT. Since there's been so...

Bryan, Thanks for putting out the Ni-Cad Technical booklet, there is a lot of useful information in it. It's through info like this we can keep the TE's in...
The service manual lists the battery tray blower moter and its filter as needing replacement every 15,000 miles. And again somewhere else it says to replace...
Jim, Your right about the motor info, I looked high and low for the battery blower motor. I spent 3 eight hour days looking for a replacement motor. I tried...
You might want to check with Mike Chancey (he owns this list). A while back I think he posted that the blower motor was a standard part used on production...
Does anyone on this list use Public Charging for the TEVan? I took a trip wa-a-ay across town Saturday afternoon to visit with another EV owner. What with one...
Public charging????? Not here!!!! We should be so lucky. My first guess would be to look at your 14-50 plug on the TEVan and see how it's wired. Mine has a...

Maybe I should have asked: Does anyone charge from a GFI protected circuit, like "Public Charging". We are fortunate in that regard, but it isn't all roses...
Jim, It does sound like your TEVan originally had the 10-50 plug on the 40 amp cord. My 30 amp cord also had a 10-50 on it, but looked like it had been ...

I still keep my Journeyman Electrician license up to date and have wired many dryer, range and water heater circuits. I do believe that: "green is ground the...
That little relay is pretty quiet but I can hear it. I thought it was a timer of some kind as it takes about 10-15 seconds for the relay to pull in and then...
Now it really gets interesting. I redid one of my cords with 4-wire. The 230V cords came with 14-50 Hubbell plugs on them. They were 4-wire plugs with three...
Hi folks, I just ran across this note about public charging of TEvans while looking for something unrelated. The article reads: Chrysler TEVans The use of...
