iMIEV is showing 0V on the inverter capacitor, so the pre-charge circuit has some issue. Sadly the resistor and contactors are in the battery pack. It's stuck in my garage, so I'm going to have to drop the 250KG battery with a jack and some axle stands.

I'm going to try the threaded rod trick: https://github.com/imiev-battery-upgrade/imiev-battery-upgrade/blob/main/pack_removal.md

But I'm not sure why the instructions say to raise the vehicle before dropping the battery. The distance between the battery and my dollies is only 7cm. Surely I can get the battery onto the dollies, THEN raise the car to give clearance to roll the battery out. Much quicker and safer.

Pre-charge resistor is testing at 24 Ohms, exactly what it should be. I really doubt the capacitor is bad. I can hear a contactor click, but I guess that's the next thing for me to check.
