Possible Causes

Loose internal connectors on main control board, Marginal solder joints on power module, Overheating causing thermal shutdown without code, Flaky pilot signal due to cable movement

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: Intermittent faults can be difficult to reproduce; inspect carefully for anything loose or heat-damaged.

  • Step 1 – Observe pattern: Note whether shutdowns occur at high current, high temperature, or when the cable is moved.
  • Step 2 – Check all connectors: With power off, open the BougeRV charger and firmly reseat all plug-in connectors on the main board, power module, and sensor boards.
  • Step 3 – Inspect solder joints: Look for dull, cracked, or ringed solder joints on high-current components. These may require professional re-soldering or board replacement.
  • Step 4 – Cable strain relief: Ensure the output cable strain relief is tight and that movement of the cable does not stress internal connections.
  • Step 5 – Thermal checks: If the unit is very hot when it stops, improve ventilation or reduce current setting. Persistent thermal shutdowns may indicate a failing BougeRV power module or fan.
