Seth, Do you have the VIN # of the vehicle? Also, did it come with the owner's manual?
Some of these vehicles were slated to be crushed and a list of those numbers was published somewhere. It would be interesting to see which car this is. You should be able to put the 12V fuse in and boot the car up. That'd be cool to at least get the odometer reading. I'd expect it would throw lots of error codes. Also, you might be able to use some S10E parts to replace what has been removed. You may even be able to legally buy EV1 replacement parts through Saturn, if you hurry. -- Geoff Shepherd '98 OEM Ford Ranger EV '00 Honda Insight On 9/11/02 12:19 PM, "Seth Murray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone - > > Here is the WPI EV1 update #2.
