Car not accepting charge, no pretty lights!!

[jeremyrh]

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 :-(

Tap the battery on the front screen and tap the bolt at the top right.

If your car is a phase 1 Trophy, you do need to read that thread.

Zappi failing to charge car to 80% (Edit update: Not a problem with Zappi. Issue with AC charging/New CCU ordered)

Okay So I seem to also have this issue, I noticed it in the last couple of weeks, I thought maybe I pressed something in the zappi app etc but sure I didnt. it only charges for like 5-10 mins then stopped. Booked in for Thursday. Mine is a 2022 72 Reg SR. I use Zappi and I have SOlar also.

Recently had my first service and an update to the electrics system which has left me with a charging problem, it will not charge More than 60%, my dealership in Portsmouth is useless and I will not go back there again. They deny there is a problem.
Before the service we had a 300+ usable mileage, now we have 180 ish.I am a gentle driver and need the extra mileage to visit family and hospitals etc.
I doubt that I will buy from MG again which is a shame as I liked the car before the update service.

Do check that the charging limit has not been set to 60%

Sometimes after an update the screen will show one value but it uses another. So if it shows a limit of 100, set it to 90 and try again. If that works set back to 100 and there's a good chance it'll work thereafter.
