2:56 what does this other switch do?

Wtf?

Just basic plumbing/ engineering craft techniques not very impressed with the engineering of Tesla battery plumbing though like a lot of other car manufacturers they use brittle plastic where metal would be a better engineers solution you see it on thermostat housings on IC cars clearly the accountants are in charge at Tesla.

I ended up slotting that top rear hole... just couldn't get the clearance. :-( "Easier than it looks" is a real thing... !

As many of these i have done you have the best little tips. U should do more tesla repair content.

you dont say if there is any software needed to provision the new MCU ? is replacing the MCU something a owner can do DIY ?

Imagine being the Fireman who has to go through all that in order to pull the fireman's loop while the car is undergoing a thermal runaway lithium battery fire assuming he can even get in the car to open the frunk hood.

Thanks a lot! I was stucked at the part where the trunk signal should run to. But this video saved me a lot of time!

Will this work for my 2018 model s 75d drivers side door ??

What’s the name of website to purchase it w the bracket Thx u

Great video. Here is what I would add. My wife's model S driver door handle was stuck open and would not retract or open the door. After going through multiple videos I pulled the door handle assembly out of the door. She has a 2012 and did not know what generation door handles she had. Turns out you can see if the handles have been updated on the secret maintenance screen where you go to calibrate the door handles. 2 of the door handles had been updated to generation 3, one of which was the driver door. So here in AZ it appears Tesla service is just updating them when they fail to generation 3. Since there is not really any parts that fail on the generation 3 handles I ordered and replaced the magnetic sensor for about $100. This did not fix the issue and I had the Tesla mobile service come out. They replaced the "TESLA MODEL S DOOR HANDLE CONTROL UNIT MODULE FRONT" which is another possible failure mode. This module was located on the plastic access cover to the door internals. Cost was $60 for the part and $30 for the labor.

On the short connector with no hex. Fab up a short pipe tapped for the nipple side and use that to tighten it into the the battery.

what an absolute crap design. Yet one more reason to not buy one.

Hi, Great informative video. I have now replaced harness and micro-switches on my 2016 Gen 2.5 drivers door handle. The switches trigger ok when I checked them with a multi-meter at the connector. Problem is Handle still over presents and locks solid. Any ideas on how I can fix this or what the problem is? Thanks for any help.

Hi I put new switches and harness into my 2016 Gen 2.5 door handle. Switches work fine when tested with a multi-meter. However handle still over presents and locks solid with the motor stalled under power. Any ideas how this can be fixed? Thanks for a great video.

But after doing that window raise trick, how to you get the patch back so i can shut the door?

After this video I am offering Tesla Master tech certification bahaha

Will this work for a 2019 Model S?

Thank You so much! Youŕe the BEST! 😉✌🖖👌👍

Thank You so much! Youŕe the BEST! 😉✌🖖👌👍

Basically impossible to change the battery without the terminal adapters show in the video, but there are no links for it.

Perfect thanks. I performed this exact repair.

is this garage done? no videos in 3 years

Do you need to program the mew mcu or it will work after replacing it?

For me the 3rd microswitch on my 2.0 handle keeps getting stuck. The handle doesn't retract! Any tips? I've already replaced the paddle gear + the 2 microswitches

So tesla still has to recalibrate it?

thx for the share your a pro.

Has to be the most comprehensive, understandable tutorial on this job I’ve seen

Thank God. I am so sick of taking my car to Jacksonville and dealing with their zero-star service.

Thanks for uploading, great work. Do I need to program a MCU 2 unit before installing? Thanks

Brillant fix👍 Definitely should have some metal shielding from the factory for the plastic fittings. Or metal hydraulic fittings.

the 5$ fix :)

Do you guys sell BMS boards?

use a ratcheting spanner stick the nut to it with gum .!

why not replace that plastic skid plate with a metal one?

Great video! I’m a bit concerned about one part of the repair, though. You mentioned the coolant line won't take more than 1 bar (15 psi), but according to the coolant refill manual, it needs to be pressurized to 5.5 bars (80 psi). I’m not sure if the threaded plastic can handle that much pressure. What’s your take on this? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

What gen is on a 2013 p85 rear door behind driver. Thanks

Thanks! I have a 2015 with the original handles so, I imagine it's only a matter of time before I need this.

Has anyone had the soft close mechanism fail? mine is now stuck in the locked position and won't reset

Elon would approve of this fix👍🏻🇺🇸

Does replacing this part require programming or computer matching?

Does a used MCU two unit need to be paired programmed to a car?

I have five or six of those brass nipples in my tool box lol

Well thank you but this is not a TESLA does not have a transfer or convergiance from 2 to 4 wheel drive or all to 4 wheel drive

is the rear handle the same module as the front??

perfect tutorial for when I want to do this on my 2013 model S!!

africa !!

my gen 1 handle front right doesn't show when pressed, it does however open, any tips?

I have watched tons of videos for vehicle repairs over the years and by far one of the absolute best. Please tell me you have a rear door handle one too so I can adjust my wife's.

Tesla is like Apple version of electric cars. Any damage, replace the entire thing...
