Supercharger Connection Problems
Thought I would post here rather than start a new thread.
Took my first Supercharger trip last weekend, hitting the Angola IN, Mishawaka IN and Aurora IL Superchargers. At each location, I had issues getting the car to connect. At my first stop, I kept getting a red ring, so I moved to another stall and continued to get a red ring. After futzing around for a bit, it finally connected and went green, but when I got back in the car and sat down, it disconnected. I realized that I had to very carefully plug the cable in "just so" and not touch the car or cable again, else it would disconnect. This was the case at every Supercharger stop I made.
Just wondering if this is common. I already had my charge port on the car replaced because of UMC connection problems, and since then, UMC, HPWC and J1772 adapter connections have been rock solid.
I'm going to ask Service to look into this at my next visit, but with no Superchargers in Canada, I wonder how they will be able to verify and diagnose?
