Isaac and Devin removed the DC-DC converter due to the fact it stopped working after 10 years of service. The DC-DC converter is essentially the "alternator" of the electric vehicle which drops the main pack voltage of 170v down to 12v to power headlights and all 12v accessories. Upon inspection the converter was found to have a fatiqued fuse. The failure was most likely due to a weak connection within the fuse from the factory or from 10 years of vibrations on the race track. Soldering in a fuse fixed the problem.
