Replacing Bad Module In Tesla Model S

[@Boutthemvols]

Awesome video. As more and more of these packs fail, hopefully the knowledge required to fix them yourself spreads, and the nonsense of $20k repair bills can be killed. Good job!!!

Hey so was it one of the modules in the penthouse that needed to be replaced? You show how you lowered the pack and opened the penthouse but nothign more. I was curious to know what you did to fix your BMS_018 code

@@bulgarianicedtea7897 sorry I missed the documenting that step! It wasn't too bad but peeling the lid off that penthouse is still not a lot of fun

How is the car doing now? I have heard the ultimate solution is to replace the whole pack. Changing just a module usually does not last long.

@@derekkchung so far so good. Putting in a module that doesn't match the rest is a risk but far less expensive than a new pack

[@derekkchung]

I was really hoping to see how hard it is to peel off the lid.

@@derekkchung All I have is the time lapse I have more video if you want taking the penthouse top off is not so bad doing the whole rest of the battery is a lot more work especially when you try to preserve the case
