Ebay can be awesome, For about $700 including shipping, I found the inverter. The HV Contactors and pre-charge circuit are all in a unit & it was only $65 plus some shipping. Not sure the order in which I should begin changing parts, as it seems to me that none of the HV componenets will work if the +HV contactor has failed, but the manual states to deal with other codes first... guess more research is needed. Thanfully the new owner of the Leaf has a lift for dropping the pack if that is what has to happen...goldbrick said:I hope it works out well for you. They're great cars but I'm always nervous when something breaks that is only available at the dealer. I'd bet you can find whatever you need on ebay or whatever if you can DIY but that isn't something everyone can do.

And Bob is my uncle, he's lived on Oahu since 1968 and used to teach music at Kamehameha Schools....
miscrms said:Looking at the circuit diagram in EVB, it looks like pin #17 at the battery is the 12V coil supply to SMR1 that you'd want to tap? If I'm remembering correctly, SMR2 and PRE close during precharge, then SMR1 closes once charged and PRE opens.
Pin 107 off the VCM should be the same signal.
