I just acquired a dead 2014 500e with 48,000 miles.
The previous owner said one day it would not charge using the OEM EVSE. At some point they installed a new 12v battery which did not solve it but might have been the beginning of all this. Then...they let it sit for 10 months.
Details:
Will not ready - turtle. Will not shift into drive
Attempting to charge gets goal posts
Contactors do not seem to be closing - no audible clicking when opening door or turning key
OEM EVSE is showing all 4 green lights
BPCM is setting codes P1E25 and P0A1F and they will not clear using alfaobd (or they are immediately resetting)
12v battery is stable at 12.5 - 12.6 volts
Recall U69 has NOT been completed
Humidity sensor is unplugged
12 volt battery had been disconnected for a period of months before I acquired
"Enabling Contactors" using alfaobd does not seem to work - cannot hear contactors, nothing changes
All 12 volt accessories seem to work normally such as radio and lights
I am suspecting it is a failed HV battery, I am right at 8 years so I am not sure if I could score a battery under warranty.
Any suggestions/thoughts/opinions?
