This Jaguar I-PACE Should Have Been SCRAPPED… We Saved It With a Wire!

Video Description

This Jaguar I-PACE came into the workshop driving but NOT charging, stuck with interlock errors, battery imbalance warnings, inverter faults and 0% state of charge. Dealers would have replaced motors, inverters, battery modules — £10,000+ repair… we had to dismantle: front motor & subframe inverter & onboard charger HV battery pack cooling circuits seal and rebuild the battery recalibrate motor sensors reprogram modules restore charging capability This turned into one of the most technical Jaguar I-PACE repairs we’ve ever done, with full diagnostics, HV testing, wiring tracing, and module programming.
