    While undoing a plastic fastener I unintentionally rubbed on the HV battery service plug. I don't think I moved it but want to be sure. Could you please look at the pictures and let me know whether the plug is still installed correctly? Thanks!

    Looks OK. Is it not running OK?

    I checked quickly it got READY mode then I quickly turned it off. I just want to make sure I didn't accidentally slide it to some half way position.

    Looking at the picture again it looks like to remove the service plug one would slide it up and then rotate it out away from the battery, and to lock it one would slide it down. The plug looks like at least most of the way down if not all the way down. Do I understand this correctly?

    Thanks!

    Looks fine, and you'll get a warning light and/or a no-start if it's not completely locked into place. I think you have the technique right for releasing/closing.

    Thanks for the photo. It showed me why my car wouldn't start. Phew!
