The HV pack is in there but with 5-new sticks it's still not good enough for Honda's internal auditing.I'll have to have a completely new pack at some point.The shop thought that the 12-V battery would charge,but that's not the case.
I've lost so much work time dealing with the car that my trip is threatened.
Yesterday we finally got the title change executed.Total fees were $126.The shop charged only $624 instead of the grand since they couldn't restore it as a hybrid.
I now have $803 in the car.
I'll risk driving it locally soon,as I've got to take the truck out of service for a couple of days.It push starts easily,especially with a little slope.(now I'm back to 1976 with my '64 Karmann Ghia which I had to push start for awhile)
