Possible Causes

Loose low‑voltage connector between power module and GM control board, Failing auxiliary power supply, Vibration‑induced intermittent contact, Marginal solder joints on control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the breaker before any physical inspection.

Steps:

  • Check for vibration sources: Ensure the charger is not mounted on a thin, vibrating wall panel.
  • Observe pattern: Note whether flickering coincides with contactor clicks or other events; share this with a technician.

Because the issue is internal to the GM electronics, homeowner repair is not recommended. If flickering is frequent, have the charger inspected or replaced to avoid unexpected charging interruptions.
