HELP WITH VECTRIX VX-1

Hi everybody,

Yesterday I was with my noob friend with his new vectrix (I am noob too hehehe) the question is we removed seat and any covers only to see battery set and electrics inside, we did not disconnect anything. But now we have put all covers and seat and Vectrix not respond when we try plug in for charging process, and lights in indicator are on and and you try turn on with key no indicator test, no run and not "READY" on display.

Any suggestion?.

Any advances, we have disconnect and connect again battery plug, now battrery indicators shows battery FULL bur this is not true, Vectrix was almost empty battery yesterday.
The problem is now, the key response and vectrix rides but battery indicator shows full and when we try to charge it in only few minutes charger stops like battery is completely charged.

I guess the computer of the charger was frozen. Now you've managed to reset it, but it is out of sync. To sync it again, drive the vectrix gently, slowly to red battery light. When the red light turns on the gauge will be internally reset, automatically, Don't ride further, precool immediately 30 min and charge it to full. After plug it in you'll see 0 bars in the gauge
Hope it helps...

Do you mean the blue Andersons connector under the battery safety cover?

If it was the blue Andersons connector, then you might have damaged the main fuse by re-connecting the connector without using an inrush current limiter.

See this: http://visforvoltage.org/book/ev-collaborative-hand-books/6146

There is always a way if there is no other way!

Nope.
He means the charger's connectors. Do you remember these waterproof-box connectors under the charger?;-)
