I’m running out of ideas of what the problem is… i hope somebody can help me. here are the details of the car: 2005 GEM E4 Has not operated in the last 2 years. (my boss has me trying to fix it) Replaced the batteries, pack voltage shows over 72+volts Controller was just rebuilt a few weeks ago the battery charger flashes that it does not see the batteries on the dc/dc converter- it shows power of 72+ volts the enable voltage pin shows 0volts lights, flashers, display have no power/ do not light up Fuses on the PSDM are all good (i took it out of the car and removed the cover to look at the condition… it looks fine… nothing obviously wrong) the magnet behind the dash (i believe that is for the contactor??) gets no power from the controller car rolls freely when you let the parking brake off you get the beeeeeeeeeeep Any ideas of what i should do now (besides burn it) any other information i may have forgotten to give that would help ---

ok, you can only read positive pin 6 to chassie ground on positive pin A and B you have to read ground in 72v negativ on psdm do you have 72v on the big + and - cables on psdm from battery pack ? ---

Im having same issue. Woke up, turned key, dash turned on and then turned off…no 72 v of power anywhere…checked all connections…its a 2005 e4 w/ less than 200 miles,what could be causing the power outage? btw, all the batteries are fully charged… [quote=Gem e2;11515]ok, you can only read positive pin 6 to chassie ground on positive pin A and B you have to read ground in 72v negativ on psdm do you have 72v on the big + and - cables on psdm from battery pack ?[/quote] ---

Hello my friend. Sounds like emergency brake momentary switch is wired wrong. You should get a long beeper with ignition off. When you release the brake the beeps should stop. Check your wiring there because the contactor will not engage with the ebrake on
