Possible Causes

Weak contact in vehicle connector pins, Debris in vehicle inlet preventing full insertion, Slightly bent pilot or proximity pin, Vehicle scheduled charging or charge limit settings preventing start

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Always disconnect from mains before cleaning connectors.

  • Check vehicle settings: Verify in the vehicle menu that immediate charging is enabled and that no departure time or charge window is blocking charging.
  • Reinsert connector: Unplug and firmly reinsert the J+ Booster connector until fully seated and latched.
  • Inspect and clean: Examine the connector and vehicle inlet for dirt, insects, or foreign objects. Clean gently with a dry, soft brush.
  • Try another charger or cable: If another EVSE works fine with the same vehicle, the issue is likely with the J+ Booster connector or cable.
  • Intermittent behavior: If wiggling the connector starts charging, the connector assembly may be worn and should be replaced.
