Possible Causes

Welded main power contactor on Lucid power module, Faulty contactor feedback sensor on control board, Loose contactor coil wiring harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the breaker and lock it out if possible. The contactor handles high voltage; only qualified persons should open the unit.

Basic user checks:

  • Power-cycle: Turn the breaker OFF for 5 minutes, then ON. Sometimes the control board will clear a transient contactor feedback error.
  • Listen for contactor click: When starting a charge, stand near the Lucid charger and listen. A healthy unit will click once when the contactor closes. No click or repeated clicking may indicate a contactor issue.

Advanced checks (technician level):

  • With power OFF and cover removed, visually inspect the main contactor on the Lucid power module for heat discoloration, melted plastic, or loose terminals.
  • Verify the contactor coil connector is fully seated on the Lucid control board or power board harness.
  • With power restored and using appropriate PPE and tools, measure voltage at the contactor coil during a start command to confirm coil drive.

Resolution: If the contactor is welded closed or fails to pull in reliably, the Lucid power module or contactor assembly must be replaced. Do not attempt to file or mechanically free a welded contactor.
