How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Damaged insulation can expose live conductors. Stop using the charger and turn OFF the breaker.

  • 1. Inspect full cable length: Run your hand (with insulated gloves) along the cable to locate all damaged sections.
  • 2. Do not tape over: Do not attempt to repair high-voltage EVSE cables with tape or heat-shrink; this is unsafe.

Resolution: Replace the entire Lectron J1772 charge cable assembly. After replacement, consider using a cable management hook and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
