Fuses available here: Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:49:36 GMT Sean Clancy http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20512 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20512 ... It's an Altrax. Also, I found two wires from my BattEQ off a battery, dangling, that came out of the metal sleeve. Maybe they popped off and caused the Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:53:12 GMT Phil and Toby-Lyn Heaven http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20511 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20511 Which Controller do you have? I think the fuse should match the max current output of your controller. Though I think I've heard that a 200 amp fuse is fine Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:56:44 GMT Sean Clancy http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20510 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20510 A tiny bit more assistance needed: The fuse I pulled off says 200 A and 48 V. The only fuse I could find at Boating stores is a) 225A fuse with a 36V DV Max, Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:58:03 GMT Sean Rarey http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20509 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20509 Yep, just push in the BRB & replace the fuse, no need to dis-connect anything else. The batteries themselves are always "hot", so be careful what you contact Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:25:25 GMT Ray Wells http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20508 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20508 Yes, you should push in the BRB for safety since it isn't yet known what caused the fuse to blow. Just undoing the nuts on the fuse itself is safest.  I use Sat, 04 Jul 2009 06:42:27 GMT Sean Clancy http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20507 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20507 Thank you, Sean and others. It is the fuse in-line -- still smelled burnt. My only other question is: Is it enough to push in the big red button before I Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:35:18 GMT spmathis@... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20506 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20506 I have (6) 12v Group 31 Deka Gels and (6) Group 31A Discovers for sale. All twelve batterys past the 400amp load test. They are forsale down in Houston Tx Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:10:35 GMT Sean Rarey http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20505 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20505 First place to look is the main fusible link. It is usually under the rear seat in an '06 SD. It is a large fuse in-line with the large traction voltage Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:59:03 GMT Ray Wells http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20504 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20504 Does your SD have a battery in the 12V circuit? On early Xebras the ignition was wired so that the 12V circuit enabled the 72V, and on later ones the ignition Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:25:01 GMT Ray Wells http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20503 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20503 My solution is to replace it with a controller that handles higher voltage. I expected to do that eventually as even at 84V the Xebra doesn't have enough Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:11:22 GMT bjrsailr http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20502 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20502 Hi- when my '07 died last year it was the main 300A fused located in the rear middle accessible under the rear seat hatch in a black case about 4" long tied Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:02:03 GMT Phil and Toby-Lyn Heaven http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20501 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/message/20501 Also check the main fuseable link. In SD is usually under back seat behind batteries in thick rubber boot.

Note the voltage of the pack using volymeter on the dash and then turn on the charher. The volt meter must jump to around 80 volts, if he chager is
