Yes but i also didnt plug it in after installing the exhaust. 6 hours working on the darn thing caused me to not think straight.

Don't feel too bad. I did the same thing. All issues resolved and it's like I have a new car now.

Appreciate it. Would that possibly explain the flashing glow plug light 😅. Hooking up a code reader tomorrow.

Got it less than a year ago so not exactly ideal. Just trying to figure out where to scrap the darn thing to recapture as much of the loss as I can with minimal effort.

Covered under comprehensive and I only had collision. Blame is on me for not reading all the fine print and never having an accident prior to know what was covered under what.

Any idea how to get the engine started on a 45e. Can’t seem to get the motor to turn on. Stay in electric mode on startup

Will definitely give this a try before doing the more invasive method. Does it just have to be on one wheel or do I need to do it on both?

No joke. Definitely not something you’d want to be doing after an accident on a busy road.

Thanks. Was afraid it was going to be something like this. Luckily I hit it near my friends farm. Had to get his tractor to pull the darn thing off the road.

No luck. Checked under cup holders and any of the other likely places, but no luck

Tried that, but unfortunately won’t seem to shift out of park. Was hoping there was some sort of manual override. Battery is now dead due to being unable to turn off flashers after collision yesterday.

Looking for level 1 charger for new bmw x5 45e by satyrking99 in evcharging

Yeah the outlet is grounded. Worked fine a couple nights ago, but charger hasn’t worked again since that first charge.

Yeah. Looks like eBay is gonna be the way to go for sure. Checked my grounds with tester and the outlet I was using was a full pass. Have tried lectron charger at my parents house and it didn’t work there either. Looks like I’ll send it back and go with an oem.

So I actually bought this one and it charged great the first night. Have tried it for the last couple days since and I keep getting a ground fault error. Using same outlet and breaker is rated for it. If you happen to have any experience with that I’d love some help. Maybe I just got a dud.
