Unable to charge, breaker trips

[Diamond lightning]

I’ve had my truck since October 2022. I have never had any issues with my Ford charge station pro or charging my truck Other ways. This evening I noticed a charge fault. Because I’ve read all the threads I decided to turn off the breaker for the charge station and then turn it back on and try again. This also caused a fault. I then took my Mobile charger and tried to charge. I again had a fault on the mobile charger. This caused the breaker for the plug to fault. I decided to unhook the 12 V battery on the truck and then try again. Still every time I plug in the charge station pro or mobile charger. There is a quick breaker trip or fault. I turned the charge station pro down to 6 A, again same exact situation. Please help if you have any ideas. Thank you

Have you tried putting the 110 on the mobile connector and doing that? I’m guessing something melted somewhere in your 220 circuit

Yes, it also tripped the 110 breaker

Oh my. That’s a nightmare... Means the truck is causing it probably. Dealer time, good luck. Hope you can drive it there. Maybe try a fast charger on the way to see if DC works. Something with the onboard charger probably failed. I know absolutely nothing about these trucks, though. I am just a service technician that deals with agriculture electronics

I hate to agree with you but I was thinking the onboard charging system is likely the cause also. Thought maybe someone else may have some miracle ideas. will try DCFC on way to dealership. Thx for your help

I wonder if a critter got to your AC wiring onboard the truck, exposed wires and now they're shorting!
If not that, something inside the OBCC has shorted on the AC side of the system.

Can you try a local DCFC? This would narrow it down a little more as to what has failed on the truck.

But either way, it’s time for a service visit.

How long until the breaker trips? If it’s any length of time, you should be able to see if the truck is drawing too much by watching it in FordPass.

Call your service advisor and ask them to pull up your VIN in PTS and go to the Connected Vehicle page to check what your truck is reporting to the cloud. Pretty sure there will be clues there.

In fact the reported info quite often is hyper-linked to a TSB or SSM that directly relates to the fix for the issue. No need to guess what the problem is, just call your service advisor.

Dc Fast charging worked without any complications this morning. Must be something to do with the AC charging.

Not surprising as those have very little in common.
