I also had Ally for my leasing company. I tried to buy my car at the end of lease, but no, they would not negotiate the same $16K residual. So I played them. I turned the car in at the end of April after making my last payment. It is a 2014 2LT with the DC quick charge option. I didn't have to...

I went with the passenger side because I knew tapping into the 12v accessory outlet was a sure thing and the ground was right there. Plus I wanted it all hidden so when I turn my lease in, I'm not having some inspector looking at the fuse box with a few wires hanging out of it. Personally, it...

It's very easy to remove. Make sure the vehicle is at room temperature or close, cold climates can break clips. At the very top of the A-Pillar, grab it at the headliner and get your finger behind the trim. Pull sharply to dislodge the A-pillar retention tether. This tether prevents the trim...

I installed a homelink autodimming mirror. Ran the wires down the a-pillar on the passenger side, behind the glove box, and to the power outlet on the lower dash by the USB. The mirror and homelink only work with the "accessory" function from the power outlet using a T-Tap. There is a ground lug...

Just disconnect the noise maker control unit. Super easy to get to. It is on the floor behind the center console next to the accelerator pedal. Where the driver side and passenger side carpets meet behind the center console, you can separate the two pieces easily as they are attached with just...

Yes, true. I forgot about that detail. Oh well. :roll:

There are two modes to the traction control button and you can fully disable the stability control. One push and release of the Traction Control off button turns just the traction control off (traction off light on and traction control disabled message). If you press and hold the traction...

I also agree 100% it is regen related, however, turning the A/C on triggers the vibration. It is not the A/C system itself making the vibration, but something electrically is triggering this vibration phenomenon when the A/C is on. I do not get any of this vibration during regen with the A/C...

Add me to the list. Mine does this same exact thing, usually when it's very hot outside and the A/C system is under load. I haven't taken it in, because quite frankly, I don't have time to waste for the dealer to say there is nothing wrong. haha I thought I read somewhere a while ago there was...

This is normal. I experience this strange sensation with my Spark EV as well and I'll explain. Keep in mind that the regenerative braking system is pretty unique and the braking can feel different at times. When you brake lightly, the front hydraulic brakes are not active, it is the motor that...

I believe this is because of the "Auto Defog" setting. There is a humidity sensor under the cover behind the rear view mirror. If there is sufficient humidity in the air, the A/C will kick on, even if it shows off, to dehumidify the air. If you go to Vehicle Settings, under I believe...

OK....I just got mine...Since I have a habit of always saying "whatver", here is my version:

Thanks! I bought the tape a long time ago from a shop online. I did a quick search and found this company sells it as well: http://www.hotrodleather.com/index.php/electrical/vintage-style-cloth-electrical-tape.html You might find it on Ebay as well. I love the tape because it does give it that...

Well, I guess better late than never! Haven't been on here for a while...As for getting the seat out, I used a long crescent wrench, because it was flat, and placed it between the seat cushion and carpet, just next to each clip and then pulled up on the exposed end of the crescent wrench quicly...

I'm clear, I just didn't word it correctly. Clearly they are running at their full capacity, but not the capacity to provide an 80% charge in 20 minutes.

Just added some pics and a link to the album in the Modification forum. :)

OK…I took my car apart to install a Kenwood KSC-SW11 powered subwoofer and Kicker KS1140 front/KS1146 rear speakers. I modified the harness to adapt to the Spark EV factory wiring so that it looks professional and not some hack job from Best Buy. I Have a lot of wiring provisions, so it was easy...

Thanks for all of the great replies! I now know that the chargers in Irvine are not running at a full capacity to provide the 20 minute advertised charge time. I'm also glad I'm not the only one experiencing some of the issues with the DCQC at Quail Hill. It was the first time I ran into the...

Saturday night I took a risk and drove from my house in Long Beach to Rancho Santa Margarita which was about 47 miles. I planned on the way back to stop at one of the two DC quick charge stations in Irvine so I could make it home. Fast forward to about 9:45pm that night to get home and I stopped...

Wow! That's crazy! Glad you're OK. I was just checking out the rear suspension last week on my Spark EV when I had the right rear off to remove a nail from the tire (at 550 miles). The trailing arms are cast iron (not aluminum) that are welded to the steel beam axle. What's weird is both...
