Other cars are undriveable because of bad engines or transmissions...
...the Insight is undrivable because of one broken bolt.

Have not been able to establish a solid 12V output connection from the stock DC-DC converter. So I'm going to ditch it and go the meanwell route. Posted a thread over on IC offering to pay a small sum for someone to bypass the rectifier for me, since I have no know-how on how to do it.

So until I get the meanwell installed, my car is undrivable due to no 12V charging. Wa la.

Carpet is ordered, have all the other stuff I need to rebuild the rear, but that's all on hold until I get the meanwell installed.

Found a used Meanwell HRP-600-15 for sale for under $50 total. Should be able to drive the Insight in a week.

All because of a broken bolt.
