ODO 233054 probably replaced pedal brake switch to hopefully cure the cruise control issues. issue is cc light would flash suddenly. unknown cause but a youtube video showed it could be the brakeswitch.

replaced inverter pump. found out that its always running when car is ready or Ig-On. not a bad job. just lots of different ways to do it. easiest i found for me is to raise the inverter, remove the right arm mount from the inverter and it was easy peasy. replaced coolant as well. approx 2.5qts. added water wetter 10 cap fulls. bought another pump for the next time maybe in 100k mi?

4 mi away from home while doing 70mph on fast lane. Car lurched and Big Red Triangle popped on but kept going thankfully. 2 mins later i noticed that inverter temps are at 95C. normally its below 75C. 4 mi from home i just kept going hoping it wont die. got home and found out its a P0A93 code. Inverter pump died apparently.

Picked up a Hybrid Battery pack from a 2010 Prius from Bernie of Learnaid for 600. put it in our 08 and so far so good. i did a CDC on it til 134. i should do another one in Nov or Dec. every 6 months there on.

forgot to renew registration til too late. sat whole month of may. but HV batt was weak and did a F&B, 134, F&B, 84, F&B cycle. i think i really need to find the weak cell and replace it to fix it longer. charge started reversing from 240 to 236 on last F&B. also needs an oil change.

1st time discharge with bulbs took 3 days 8/1 - 8/3 it did help restore some capacity back. discharged down to 101 v ultimately needs some modules to be replaced.

partial fill-up's

when gas prices change often, I only buy $20.00 each time until prices are stable.
