Yessssssssssss!
I decided to work on the car this weekend, changing the oil, checking out the non-functioning AC, etc . . .
After reading up on AC issues in a G1 Insight, some guys said their AC wouldn't function with the IMA battery turned off. So I pulled off the cover, clicked the IMA back on, and drove around for a while until it registered, and was pretty pumped to see that not only is my AC now functioning again, so is the big battery!
I now have AC, assist, regen, auto start and auto stop! Hopefully it'll last, and if it doesn't, I plan on splurging for the big battery from one of the sellers.
I'm going to buy a Volt by the end of the year (almost bought the one below yesterday and may still get it by next weekend) so I want to make sure Ron Burgundy is in perfect working order before I pass it on to the next lucky owner
