Hello House,

I have being following this thread for quite a while now. Finally decided to do my solar project. Intend to hit above 6kwh from start. I need a trusted vendor to do this with. After seen a lot of guys here. I intend to pitch with zeestone99 based on your recommendation on his work quality and after sale support.

Can anyone kindly advise on his commitment especially those he has worked for?

zeestone99:
No he didn't, infact before the upgrade was a 30amp pwm cc, the fault is from the controller,

Dam5reey:
Thanks for the clarification...
I hope Dmerciful suggestion work out... You may give that a try....
Make I dey manage my PWM for now..

DMerciful:
Seems the powertube has failed and as such shunted to directly connect panels to battery. Replace the power mosfets through a qualified electrician and you are good.

DMerciful:
Liguidcrystal73,

kindly give more details like capacity of epever controller, capacity of solar array, installation pics to ascertain ventilation, what time of the day did it fail etc?
this will enable troubleshooting and possible solution.

Dam5reey:
You have pushed more than 40amps into the controller...

You should have connected in series to reduce the current input to the CC...

Sorry for the loss

DUNKA:
Bros sorry for the loss

JUO:
the cc will do better if you double/series the panel voltage. For you to achieve this on epever you have over 300w of panels

PGON:
Thanks for your service.
.............One of the mechanic advised that i should allow him make the AC fan permanently on.

Hooo my God !! What has A/C fan got to do with a CEL? Kazeems never fail to represent!
Run from that mecho . . . he is only clearing the CEL without working on the issues.
And what type of ATF did you put? Abro ??
Get somebody else to scan the vehicle and paste codes here

My camry 2004 did something that got me thinking...

I was driving slowly and discovered my car wasn't moving freely, it was moving like it was on brake. I checked my hand brake and everything thing I can but I couldn't figure out the issue.

Then after a stop, the passenger's back tire locks... Sudden lock.

That single back tire. No drive no reverse.

After a while, it unlocks.

What could be this

Please whenever I enter a bump, I feel the two front tyres, shake and wobble,I am afraid ro accelerate fast, the steering acts like its gonna swerve off, the mechanic says it's the steering rack that the rubber is bad and was spoiled be the leaking rack...
A scan also showed Knock and oxygen sensor, what is the effect of not changing these items on time...

Can this be totally avoided during raining season in Lagos?

Rewire said [b]when water get to the engine belt the alternator sensor won't work wel[/b]l. I don't know if some other vehicles acts in such way.

The fan belts are probably bad . . and when wet with water; tend to slip . . less rotational force to power the alternator . .
Does fan belt squeak when submerged in water

GAZZUZZ:
why pesin go just de sell beef like this?

Hello gurus,.
I use rav4 '02 . my concern is that anytime I drive into much pool of water the battery light comes up on the dashboard and disappear after some seconds or minute. What could be the cause and possible solution?
Am not satisfied with what my rewire said.
Thanks

It is only a intectually lazy peeps that deals with Toyota only .All cars brand s the same general architect ,though specification may differ.
This is why we remain behind technologically -wise.Mechanic will be the one dictating the car to use for us becos they are afraid to think beyond anything Toyota and Honda. They are all afraid of Benz ,BMW and other high ends cars !!!Bunch of wasted generations!!

I choose to be an Optometrist; you can choose to be an Obstetrician or Gynecologist for all I care . . .
Did you get that

Oil light issue: after my engine knocked and crackshaft and metal, 4 x pisting and rings, 2 x camp shaft replaced. The oil light always come up whenever the engine is on. But when you truttle it, the oil light goes of. I have change the oil switch and the oil pump, but this problem persist.
I still notice some noise from the engine when the car is being tuttled.

Please what could be responsible for these??

ruz:
Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend an OEM brakepad for my car type?

liquidcrystal73,

I greet you specially.

I had an accident with my 2002 Toyota Camry V6 November last year. The car skidded off the road into a bush and the exhaust got extensively damaged with grass and leaves tucked into it. Catalytic converter, exhaust pot were replaced and some welding work was done.

Since then, fuel consumption has gone over the roof and scanning has revealed p1135 (A/F Sensor Circuit Heater Malfunction Bank 1 Sensor 1) and p1155 (A/F Sensor Circuit Heater Malfunction Bank 2 Sensor 1) error codes.

I do not believe the A/F sensors have gone bad cos it's unlikely for the two A/F sensors at different locations to go bad at the same time. Also, the same p1135 and p1155 codes were present when I first got the car and you said I might need to change the sensors but the error codes disappeared after exhaust work and the sensors were not changed.

I've had 2 other panel beaters/mechanics examine the exhaust and test drive, and they all tell me, "Oga, your exhaust is fine. No let anyone take you chop". They say there's no popping sound when starting the car, no visible leaks and the exhaust is breathing fine.

However, the slight stalling I experience when accelerating (not all the time and not too often), the increased grunt, decreased power & acceleration and the now excessive fuel consumption make me believe all is not well with my car. (Car did not have these issues before the accident).

I don tire, and I wan park the car as the fuel consumption don dey dig hole for my pocket. I'll be glad if I can be pointed in the right direction to get the problem fixed once & for all.

NB: I am in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.

I have a corolla x 2004 and my major issue has been the screeching sound the brakes make most times I depress them. I have changed by brake pads 4 times using different ones, changed brake plates, but there doesn't seem to be any solution. I hear most corollas have such problems.

onepence:
sorry sir, I don't. Camry fuel pumps don't go out that easily. He had change the spark plugs earlier. As for the air intake system, I doubt tgat .
