'24 Flash - Suddenly reporting charge station fault

[tdv0]

Well after one month of ownership and zero issues I seem to have run into something bad here.

I have a Tesla Universal charger at home, electrician installed it last June with a 60a breaker, it's been working fine with our BMW ix and for the last 4 weeks with our lightning.

Tonight I plugged in the truck and the charger light on the truck went solid red with a charge fault message.

I tested the charger with the BMW again and it's working fine.

I tried resetting the breaker on the charger but no luck.

I tested the Ford portable charger with the 120v plug and it's also causing the fault.

I guess I'll be booking a service call tomorrow but thought I'd post here too in case anyone has some advice.

Clear out your charger locations in fordpass/truck and try again.

There have been a couple reports of onboard chargers failing so you may need a dealer visit.

No luck here after clearing the charger location unfortunately.

Hopefully it's not a long ordeal getting this fixed.

Might be an issue with the charging port on the truck or the on board charging controller.

I'm going to drop it off at Ford today.

Just as a test I'm trying it right now with a lvl3 charger down the road. So far it's working, 70kWh for the last 10 minutes.

That's great, so the safety interlock is working fine, a good sign!!

Narrowing the suspected problem to the AC/DC on board charge controller.
