Just a hiatus

Another update on the EV Vue. For the last six weeks the Vue has been out of commission. Over the winter I was having a very intermittent problem where the vehicle would "start" but was not responding to the throttle. Invariably the problem would go away in a few minutes and everything would run fine. The problem was very infrequent and intermittent enough that I could not reproduce it to troubleshoot.

Well in late March while driving home the vehicle became completely dead to the throttle. I managed to coast it into a local business and tow it with my truck back home.

Between leaving for vacation and just being busy with life it took a few weeks for me to get to work on the car. When I finally did I managed to track down the problem to the controller.

So off to the UPS store to ship the controller to the West Coast. A week later it arrived at the manufacturer. Luckily the only thing wrong was a wire inside that managed to work its way loose. Another ten days later I get the controller back. Today I managed to find the time to reinstall it.

Everything seems back to normal at this point. I'm looking forward to getting it back on the road as my daily vehicle.
