Hi,
I have a Ford Think NEV that is not working. I've had it plugged in but the batteries do not seem to be getting much of a charge. The charging plug icon won't even appear on the screen when it's plugged in. I got a single battery charger for those batteries and in about an hour, I can get each of those batteries close to 12 v, but it still won't turn on. I know the onboard charger needs 40v to work, and it obviously has that because when you plug it in, it hums, but it doesn't show the charging icon on the display. Anyway, I've proven that the batteries can hold something by using my seperate battery charger. Though, it still wouldn't kick on, but I think the batteries may have been reading 10 ~ 12 v but probably under a load were not fully charged, so that may be why. Being that the plug icon doesn't come on the cluster when its plugged in, would you say that's the cluster? Or do you think it is a battery issue? Or better yet, if you're not sure, do you know of anyone who would work on this? Any ford dealers? Golf cart companies? Anyone? I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Nothing gets power by the way. When I had all the batteries reading 10 ~ 12v from individualy charging, the horn wouldn't work, brake lights wouldn't come on, I checked the fuses and the kill switch... Nothing. Any clue what to do? I need to get this working for summer. I have a feeling this repair may take a chunk out of my wallet, but I'd like to get it working. Any idea of what to do or where to turn? Thanks guys!
