How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately turn OFF the breaker and, if safe, unplug the vehicle. Do not attempt to restart the charger.

Steps:

  • Ventilate: Open the garage or area to clear smoke and fumes.
  • Visual inspection (after cooling): With power OFF and after the unit has cooled, remove the cover and look for charred components, melted insulation, or soot.
  • Do not power up: Do not restore power until a qualified technician has inspected and repaired the Lucid charger.

Resolution: Replace any burnt Lucid power module, wiring, or control board as needed. Often the most economical repair is replacement of the entire internal module assembly.
