2023 XLT SR Won't charge

[scruvs]

Looking for some help from the Forum with a charging issue.

I have a '23 XLT SR that I have charged at home with my Ford Connected Charge Station at 48A on a 60A breaker, professionally installed.

I'm currently at 36,500 miles and have not had an issue with the charger.

I charged earlier today for 1 hour and 9 minutes and received 12kWh of energy added.

After a short drive, I came back to charge more, and charging fails.

When I plug in the J1772 plug into my truck, my truck clicks and the 60A breaker trips.

I tried using my Ford Mobile charger on a 110V outlet and it does not trip the breaker, but results in a charge fault.

The message in Ford Pass is "Please check charger for power. Try another stall or contact charge provider."

Any ideas on things to try? I was going to disconnect the 12V negative terminal as a reboot, but that's really just a Hail Mary. I don't have any great ideas at this point other than going to the dealership tomorrow.

There could be a failure in the on board charge controller in the truck.

Try a commercial level-2 charger in town to see it that also fails.

Ok. I will try that next. Carscanner looks good. 12V battery at 14.35V.

I will try a DC fast charger.

DC fast charging is a different set of electronics. If this was a Kia I would say that your ICCU was fried, probably the onboard charger for Ford. Tripping the breaker is a bad sign - the dealership probably has a slow charger that you can try out.

On the odd chance, look for water in the port Or anywhere that it should not be.

I’m successfully DC fast charging at a Tesla supercharger with CCS plugs built in using plug & charge. Not using my NACS adapter.

I’m reading the Electrical Vehicle Component Coverage Warranty to try to understand the components. See attached.

Does this make y’all think it’s the “on-board charger” but not the “DC/DC converter.”

I think it’s dealership time.

It is badly written when it us up to the reader to figure out a logical meaning. I have an opinion, but I bet if a poll was taken, there would be a dozen logical understanding of that wording.

I really don't think I would count on the opinion of one dealer.

My opinion; eDrive = electric motor (not the gear box) ???

If you fail on the dealer or other level-2 charger, then it's likely the onboard charger.
