Try Glenn he sold me one a few months ago. I think it was about a third of the price the dealer wanted. Nigel

Izzy (stickman007) is in Edmonton but electrical is his thing. He does have a full time job but will service smart cars after hours at home. Izzy is away on vacation for another week or so but message him after that and have a conversation at least. Nigel

Glenn (smart142) is a pretty good source for parts. He even has the local Mercedes dealer calling him for parts no longer available to them. Nigel

Sounds like the car went into limp mode but it doesn’t always set a check engine light. When it happens if you can easily pull over, stop and shut engine off for about twenty seconds you will hear a click from the Sam by your knees then you are good to go until it happens again. When mine goes into limp it’s all I can do to maintain highway speed on the flats. You need to scan for codes to see what is happening. Nigel

Pretty sure the fuel light is water in fuel

I’ve never run out with the smart so I can’t confirm whether it will self prime or not. It has an electric transfer pump so it should but let’s not find out. The fuel gauge will count down (5 litres, 4.5 litres etc.)after you have driven a while. I’ve been told by Glenn (smart142) he has had the counter down to zero before he could find fuel. Nigel

You could send a private message to Glenn (smart142 on this forum). He is in London, Ontario a couple of hours east of Detroit and an hour or so west of Buffalo. He often has a few parts cars in his shop. The other guy that probably has what you need is Izzy (stickman007) in Edmonton Alberta. One other source would be Car-Part.com which searches many scrap yards. FYI there were three roofs for the coupe all glass, all plastic and a sunroof. I believe they are held in with urethane just like the windshield. Good luck with your search and let us know how you make out. Nigel

Probably the best guy that is somewhat close to you would be https://www.flyingtiger.ca/ . He is in Richmond and has been servicing and modifying smarts since the beginning. Nigel

Mike nailed it. When I got my car the intercooler fan didn’t work and the scoop was broken off. My intake air temperature routinely was 40 c above ambient and we don’t have any significant hills here in southern Ontario. Nigel

Done

I’m in for $25 if you need it. The site has saved me that many times over throughout the years. Nigel

Welcome to the site

Thanks to all the people that are making this happen.

Others will chime in if I’m wrong. I believe the white connector has something to do with warning lights in the eyebrow where the water in fuel light, seatbelt and door ajar lights are. Most just cut out the connector and solder the wires together if the connector is corroded.
