Re: Connectivity Options for 2012-2015 FFEs?

I had thought of this and I think it is possible from reading previous posts here, but it is a total DIY solution. I was thinking to play with an ESP8266 or ESP32 (An Arduino with WiFi capabilities) and put a Can bus hat on it. Then write some software to pick certain data off of the can bus and ser...

Re: Charging price

I don't disagree. However, around here, they are hard to find. There was a non Chargepoint unit in front of Whole Foods that was free and I used it a few times, but now, it is always occupied...and if it isn't, its probably broken. Early on in 2012 - 2014, I could plan to charge at a free station, u...

Re: Charging price

My experience with Chargepoint in SoCal is that most all of them charge...you money...and your car :). The ones at my work charge $0.25/kwh and after 4 hours, an additional $0.05 per minute...yeah, they want you out. They used to just charge by time. Since SCE jacked up electricity rates for residen...

Re: Newbie here ... ! Basic Questions

You can get some of the basic information summarized on the screen left of the speedometer. Use the top left steering wheel controls to get the display to show battery and usage data and then you can use the up and down on the steering wheel controls to get a display that shows a good amount of deta...

Re: 2014 Focus with a two year old 34kw battery pack DOA 4sale

I've done this work and it isn't hard. I have instructions on the Ford Focus Electric Owners' Group on Facebook. Go to that and and request to be a member. Once in, search P0AA1 and look for my writeup. Pictures and everything. Here is an idea of what I did. -Buy 1K high voltage gloves -Buy an insul...

Re: P0a0A - Pack is dry, what next?

I think you posted on the FB group, but I'll reply here as well. P0A0A is the interlock. There is a little jumper wire at many or all the high voltage connectors. It has nothing to do with the high voltage connection itself, but is part of a daisy chain of connections that goes from connector to con...

Re: Refurbished Upper HV Battery, HELP with Start-up After Install

You will need to get the scanner working to see exactly what is wrong. A common thing that I've seen happen to others as well as myself are the interlock circuits don't get connected well. On the upper battery pack, you have the service disconnect as well as that cover that covers the high voltage t...

Re: 2012 Died And I Owe Thousands On It

I replaced a contactor in the upper battery. I have the write up on the Facebook group for the Focus EV. Anyway, the individual contactors are a Kilovac EV200A1ANA. You can find them used on eBay for $50. I got mine new on eBay for $130 or so. I don't know if they are all the same because I didn't p...

Re: Failed High Voltage Battery

If it is a P0A0A at the BECM, there are 5 points that you need to check. In the HV connectors, there will be 2 little pins that interface to their mating connectors. As mentioned, it is just a loop through all the HV connectors to make sure the connectors are secured. -Check the HV disconnects. Ther...

Re: Welp, it's dead...

I was able to find that assembly on eBay for about $1000. However, it kind of looks like it might be the one that connects near the driver-side rear tire. If the problem is at that connection point, there is a TSB for that where Ford will (or used to) fix that for free. May have just been the batter...
