Only thing I could suggest is you contact this independent company in the U.K. who may be able to assist in some way.

 
Umm that’s a pain, thought they might have come across a solution with previous issues of the same type.

However, just done another search and found these posts which if it’s the exact same issue and age related could well be the solution you need…


and embedded in that is the fix instructions… in English pdf

 
Wow! My Twizy also beep 3times and Display shows the "STOP". But do not show the battery icon.
However , I will try to fix it. I will comment you after the trial.
Thank you!
Make sure the 12v battery is good or has been replaced recently as that might also be part of the issue.
 
I replaced 12V battery and it can success to be charged.
Then, motor controller flashes 10 times in green light.
Also, when I turn on the engine, ! mark is shown that is the left token in the picture.
Do you know this situation and how to fix it ?
The picture is not showing… there seems to be an issue with the forum, so can’t see what it’s showing In that picture.

Howver, my best guess is it’s still associated with the charger module as nearly everything on the web and forums shows that to be the most likely culprit.

Make sure you have checked all the fuses are good and not blown, then…

The charge controllers are also known to have water ingress which will cause all sorts of crazy errors.
see this thread… https://www.speakev.com/threads/twi...hreads/twizy-not-turning-on-blinking-charge-indicator-and-error-message.146711/

If the electronics don’t have the correct 12v supply then it will never work correctly and that is true of all EV’s.

I don’t have personal experience of the Twizy faults, but I would look at the charger next and see what state it’s in.

If you have the skills to repair it then it’s worth trying.
If not then the linked post above from a few years ago says try this German company…

Update: Found å company in Germany that fixes Twizy control units. Costs around 500 Euro. Company name is Sender.de
