    high beam lights have a yellow glow?

    Great thanks for the reply. So halogen instead of led i thought it was strange that the glow was different. I will have to look into upgrading them! Did you see a big difference in lighting after installing the leds? Also the other lights don't fit in due to the cooling part? It is just too large?

    Bull bar

    Do you lose traction in reverse too? The fwd should be better with reverse. For better traction you can get wider tires. A bull bar should also help because of added weight. That item you bought to repair was super expensive!!

    1.- Bottom portion of the Left rear passenger handle snapped. I super glued back into place a few times already. Turns out the handle is actually half a handle and hollow inside (Top pops off). 2.- Lead Acid Battery began fuming. Almost killed me. Replaced with Tony's AGM suggestion. 3.- Cabin...

    Navigation Screen is Dead -Cost to Replace $5,820 DISCOUNTED

    Good question. I think I had, like, two occasions where I noticed the maps where out of date. I never checked the map versions, so who knows what the heck I had. Once the new unit is in i'll check map version so you guys can compare. Hopefully that doesn't need any special tools... because I got...

    Navigation Screen is Dead -Cost to Replace $5,820 DISCOUNTED

    Ok then no problem. I am going to take the rav4 ev in today see what the problem is. The screen hasn't fixed itself yet, so let's see what the tech say. They had changed the front left axle because it was clicking so they shouldn't be charging any inspection fee. Not like they did before since...

    Navigation Screen is Dead -Cost to Replace $5,820 DISCOUNTED

    I'm looking at the rav4 ev manual and looking at all the fuses listed for navigation. There is only one entry: That is the only entry I see for Navigation system. I do not think it is the fuse (If that is indeed the fuse for the navigation screen) because my air conditioning system is working...

    Navigation Screen is Dead -Cost to Replace $5,820 DISCOUNTED

    I popped out the two plastic trims on the side of the nav screen display, but I can't seem to pop out the nav screen. I see four? hex bolts holding a metallic bracket that seems to be connected to the screen. Do I need to remove these to pop out the screen? Also, the air vents on top... do these...

    driver side map bulb out help cant pop out mold case

    Oh hey thanks sweet. I was thinking about getting LEDs and changing them what a coincidence! Where did you get your LEDs? Did you get it as a kit or individual buys? Did you change all of them like in the video? I feel a little embarrassed because I did pop the light cover and looked at the...

    Navigation Screen is Dead -Cost to Replace $5,820 DISCOUNTED

    Wait, wait, wait... if it is covered by the warranty then why do I have to check the fuses and the grounding and the connector in the back? If its any of these three items will it not be covered by the ext warranty? Is that why I should check? Where are the connectors in the back? Is that in the...

    2013 Model S 40 Motor same as RAV4 EV's Motor?

    The interesting thing about. The pawl vs ebrake is with the pawl yoh can remove it and add a physical cut off for. Power and drift in off like an ice when you are in n with the engine off. Benefits? Zero electric consumption and no miles added to odometer. The ev turns back on faster than an ice...

    Driver Side Vents Blow Hot Air even if LO+SYNC+A/COFF+NORMAL

    So ~ This is weird and just started to happens a couple of weeks ago. I think it happens when the EXT Temp gets below 59 or 60. The air from the driver side, my side of course!, begins to blow hot air. I keep checking and I have LO + SYNC+ AC OFF + NORMAL set and have checked the passenger...

    Replace battery coolant

    I looked into this a while back and the information on it all is very slim. I believe the flushing/reflling procedure is pretty standard however, there appears to be some sort of electrically powered valve within the battery pack that must be opened through the obd port in order to fully flush...

    OEM Tow Hitch = 17 Bolts. Aftermarket Hitch = 4 bolts only?

    Hi tony! Always here to save the day :) You did some towing with your rav4 ev didn't you? Since the vehicle isn't tested for towing does this mean we are all alone if we get into an accident? As in insurance won't cover anything?
