So, last night my MG4 did not accept charge from my Ohme Pro. This morning I tried to charge it on Max Charging (no schedule) and it didn't work except when I went into the car and pressed Start Charging on the infotainment screen.
Tried it with the granny lead - same story - needed to press Start Charging, which I've never done before.
Also - another symptom - the lights round the charge port do not come on at all.
Has anyone experienced similar, or got an idea, before I take it down to the dealer?
 
Have a read of the Zappi failing to charge thread - is yours an early Trophy with 3 phase charging (no rear wiper)?
 
I've once had mine charge with no charging lights on. This was when I left the charger door flap open too long without attaching the cable and all the lights went out, but it still charged when I finally plugged in.

If I unlock my car during a charge it seems to stop AC charging and I have to press start charging to get it going again.

Have you checked the charging schedule in your Ismart App ?
 
Hmm well after a lot of faffing around I rebooted the infotainment system and now it seems to be normal again. But it's a bit worrying - what if I'd needed to be somewhere important today?

Where is the charging schedule in the app? I don't see it :-(
 
If your car is a phase 1 Trophy, you do need to read that thread.


CCU units being replaced right left and centre over this.
