Hi All, came here in desperate hope for anything I can do. I have had my car for 18months and have done just over 15k miles.
Last night the car didn't charge -originally blamed the update pushed out to home charger. It didnt start charge via schedule nor when I pressed boost. I unplugged and retried couple of times and left in boost mode and went back to bed (was 1:30am!).
Tried a BP 7kw charger while daughter was swimming. Kept flashing between blue and green, then giving up. Failed to initiate charge. This was using same cable as at home.
Got home switched to 3 pin charger. Still same. The lights on charger show power, the green charging light is flashing and the fault light is NOT lit.
All this time car just reports "connected but not charging"
I have tried hoovering the connectors in case dirt impacting connections. Factory reset from car menu.
I have checked warning menu no error messages
My range now down to 50 miles. So enough to get to the nearest MG dealer at 20plus miles away but god knows how long before getting warranty appointment. Leaves me with no car in meantime as daren't drive any further now.
Any other things I can do at home?
Thank you
My MG ZS will not intiate a charge. It keeps saying "connected but not charging".
I have had the car 18months and done over 15K.
I have tried 3 different Type 2 7kwh charge points with same cable. One of these being my home one.
I have tried 3pin charger. This is not reporting a fault and the green light that indicates charging is flashing. I now can't recall whether that is solid normally?
I have tried hoovering the charge port on car just incase something was blocking a contact. I have tried factory reset via the car menu.
When I plug in car you can hear it locking the connector.
Please can anybody offer any other suggestions I can do at home? Thank you so very much.
