Hey guys, hoping someone might have some insight for me.
Yesterday I had an electrician install a gen 2 HPWC that my friend had given me (one of the Elon Musk signature ones if that matters). It was brand new and never used.
It was installed on a 60 amp breaker using 3 gauge copper wire. After installation, the faceplate shows a solid green light, but when I plug it in to the car, the car says “ready to charge, check power source”. This is with dipswitch 1 down, dipswitch 2 up, and the rotary dial set to 9 for a 48 amp output. When I push the reset button it goes through the normal sequence (no red) and then the top LED on the faceplate stays solid green.
There is however a tiny red LED on the circuit board that flashes continuously, I believe it’s marked EA_3. My voltmeter shows 244 volts when I measure the two leads at the main terminal block.
When I put the rotary dial to 0 for test mode, the red LED on the faceplate flashes 6 times.
When I push the reset button in test mode I can hear the relay click.
I have a 2016 P100D with a 48 amp charger. The car charges just fine on 110V using the mobile connector, on the 30 amp charger at my work, and superchargers as well. So it’s just the HPWC that doesn’t work.
I have a feeling that the circuit board might be fried? I’m sure it’s no longer covered under warranty since it’s several years old, even though it was never used.
Thanks so much for any help.
