    I did that once with my 2003 Matrix. I figured by cleaning it out here and there with a vacuum and blasting it with compressed air it would be fine. Well, as it turns out it was not. I did an oil...

    Take out the air filter and spray a little carb cleaner (or drip some gasoline) in there. If you can get the alternator to spin long enough to get spark, it should fire right up.

    Of course,...

    Awesome! Maybe they were sold out for a minute. They have been in a few months and they are still working great. I can see so much better at night with these. The white light is a big help for older...

    Let's keep the discussion polite and professional. Don't make me pull this car over!

    1) You are correct, it is a disabling mod.
    2) I am not throwing in an extra battery. The deep cycle has replaced my starting battery.
    3) This mod is extremely easy to undo as Eggman has already...

    Reviving an old thread. So what is the consensus of LED bulbs? Are people using them and if so how has the reliability and durability been? What brand did you use and how much?

    I know you won't be driving while connected to AC power, but we don't want you to burn your house down, either. What kind of wire are you using to connect that AC? Looks awfully light gauge, and thin...

    The best long term solution would be to specify a higher-rated DC convertor.

    But, since you have another one, a simple series resistor could be used to drop the input voltage to an acceptable...

    Disaster struck last night. My dc-dc converter got toasted I am pretty sure. The input voltage range for it is only 10.8-13.2V. Well, I think my switch (which actuates with almost no physical...

    A bit late for this thought, but you could have accomplished the same charging with much less weight added to the car (and a simpler installation) by just running a pair of heavy gauge wires from the...

    Okay. Time to finish up phase one of this project. Now that the alternator disable circuit is in and working like it should, I need a way to recharge the battery. This means a 110V charger that I...
  18. Yep, thats the idea.

    Yep, thats the idea.

    You could mount a small fan turbine in the lower grill to generate electricity as you drive. Even it only generated 140 watts that would be 10 amps of power @ 14 volts.

    You should mount a wind turbine on the roof to generate power while you drive!

    :)

    And solar panels for when you're not moving.

    Lets tidy things up and finish up phase one of this project.

    First off, a little 3d printed goodie to make this mod nice and easy to undo. I printed a low profile fuse body, and made my own...

    Alright, I actually ordered the dc-dc converters a few days ago, and they arrived on Friday. So, over the long weekend, I had a chance to build the circuit and test it out. Here is the first bits...

    I don't see why V3 wouldn't work. And it has the benefit of fooling the system into thinking that everything is working normally. An excellent cheat!

    While annoying for what you're trying to do, it's actually brilliant! You lose the sense wire, instead of defaulting to "all of it", or "none of it", it gives you a safe and adequate (but, not...
  25. I'm going to bet that the fact that the...

    I'm going to bet that the fact that the alternator comes on with that input open is by design. It's a fail-safe. If you lose that connection, you'd WANT the alternator to default to charging to keep...
