Unable to charge. Car now at dealer

Each time you connect to charge the car does some tests checking for a good ground and low charging circuit external impedance. That message usually means that the car or wall connector is not fully seated. That's why they suggest you unplug and replug as that often solves the problem of an improperly seated plug. Other things can, of course, lift the ground or introduce charging path resistance such as corrosion of a wire, loose screw or internal connector etc. If you tried different outlets and the SC tried a different UMC then it appears that the problem is in the vehicle itself such as a defective charge port or even a defective charger (the charger is in the car - that thing you think of as the charger only supplies current to the charger in the car).

There are lots of reports here of bits of plastic breaking off the charging connector or plug and lodging in the system. Some guys have been able to find those bits and remove them with various tools.

 

MR22, congrats on your car and welcome to the forum!

I hope the charging fix is simple for them to do.

 

Before I charge I will always look at the receptacle and usually blow the inside out. Kinda like we used to do with the old nintendo cartridges.

 

A similar thing happened to me where it would not take a charge from any source anywhere at anytime. They ended up replacing the onboard charger which fixed things.
