How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: A loose charger can stress wiring and cause internal damage. Turn off power before tightening hardware.

  • 1. Support the unit: Gently support the charger while checking for movement to avoid stressing the cables.
  • 2. Tighten mounting screws: With power off, tighten the visible mounting screws or bolts according to the installation manual.
  • 3. Check wall anchors: Ensure that appropriate anchors are used for the wall type (brick, concrete, stud). Replace undersized or loose anchors.
  • 4. Inspect bracket: If the mounting bracket is cracked or deformed, replace it with a Kia-approved bracket.
