Thank you Edybvik !

Your post is just awesome !
I hope you don't mind if I copy and paste it on other places, since it could be very helpful to other Think owners ?

I can't help you much about removing the power limit error, all this is a bit hard for me to understand...
But if you tell me exactly what you need, I can try to spread the word on other forums and groups and help you find it !

Thank you again for the explanation and photos !

Me gusta mucho roja... Ademas tiene aire acondicionado !
Pero el precio que me gustaría pagar es mas cerca de 6000€, y seguro que no es fácil encontrar una Think en buena condición con este precio !!
Pero estoy buscando...   

Hei edybvik !

I was wondering if the Think sold in USA were the same as the ones sold in Europe.

On another forum in the US I found this (posted in February 2013) :

Sitat fra: jamcl3Turn off accessories before turning off the key
Postby jamcl3 » Fri Feb 08, 2013 12:55 pm

From Think NA HQ in Dearborn this afternoon:

THINK REQUEST TO ALL CUSTOMERS:
Please shut off all 12-volt accessories when turning the vehicle off while parked. This includes shutting off the vehicle's heater, radio, wipers, rear window defogger as well as any other accessories that may be plugged into the 12-volt accessory port on the instrument panel. Accessories may be turned on again 10 seconds after the vehicle's ignition has been keyed to the "on" position.

REASON FOR REQUEST:
Some customers have reported issues with their vehicle's starting that may be related to the functioning of the 12-volt battery. Preliminary testing completed this week indicates that a software issue needs correction. We will continue to test to verify the issue and are working with engineering to develop and implement a software upgrade that will fix the issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this will cause in the operation of the vehicle. We are working as quickly as possible to fully understand the issue and make necessary changes.

We will keep you updated on the progress through you service provider.

Note this does ~not~ apply to European Thinks with the Zebra battery, it applies to THINK City North America customers only.

The last sentence is not explicit enough. It doesn't say wether an Enerdel European Think is concerned or not...

Some say the issue could be the result of a software update, but this is not clear. Do you know how to find out what software is installed on a Think ?
By the way, do you have any technical manual concerning the Enerdel battery and/or the MLEC ?

Thank you for your help !

Hei alle !

I am looking for any technical manual about the Enerdel Li-ion battery, the MLEC, and the drive train of the Think City...

Thank you for your help !

Hi Frederic !
I am new on this forum and maybe it is too late and you already found what you were looking for.
But in case not, you can download this zip file here :

http://vehiculeselectriques.free.fr/Download/Think/Think-City-WORKSHOPManuals.zip

You will find several workshop manuals for your Think, including the Drive Train one for the Zebra type.
Hope this can help...

Just in case, have you ever heard of the 'pre-charge resistor' failure, or MLEC failure described here :

Olá Jim !

I'll be happy if you post a comment when you receive your cable.
I would like to buy a Think here in France and I am trying to gather as many informations as possible before.
By the way how much is the cable you ordered ?

Hei !

Anyone speaking Th!nk could help translate a Self-Test ?

Here is what I read on the LCD screen on 2 different cars :

•   9A9E        ( 9A9E for 'gage' , needles moving )
•   _88888.8_ ( LCD test )
•   6UI6  ( that I read 'bUIb" , so maybe a bulb test ? )
•   ˫   6
•   148    ( maybe should be read as 14B )
•   Dt 412
•   0
•   Sc    0
•   t 5049 ( variable between 5049 and 5050 )
•   tC 419
•   F9
•   FC 0
•   P 72
•   t9 15E
•   6A 13
•   C˫  -6
•   19 -6  (or maybe I9 -6)
•   FLI -1
•   PO 70 ( -> PO 30 appears very briefly before showing PO 70 )


The other one, very similar :

•     9A9E
•   _88888.8_
•   6UI6
•   ˫   6
•   13A
•   Dt 412
•   0
•   Sc   0
•   t 5068
•   tC 407 )
•   F9
•   FC 0
•   P21
•   T9 72d
•   6A 11
•   C˫   -6
•   19 -6   ( or I9 -6 )
•   FLI -1
•   PO 70

Any clue is very welcome ! Thank you !

Hei alle !

Sorry I don't speak (nor write) Norwegian, so I will post in English.
I live in France and it is quite hard to find information about the Think City which is not a common car here.
Because English was easier for me I grabbed most data from US groups. And this is where I found what could be a very serious issue : Failed pre-charge resistor on the MLEC board.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/2011-think-ev-owners-oregon/_OwMN-tWm4I

I would like to know if anyone here had ever experienced such failure, or if anyone had any other information about it that could help ?
Thank you !

PS: I don't own a Think yet, but thinking seriously about it. I own a 'mia electric' car.
