I've got a Siemens Versacharge (purchased from HD online) that is hardwired to a dedicated 40a line running underground to my carport. All work performed by licensed electrician. It has never had any problems, until today. I came home and plugged the unit into my car, same as I do every day. Usually there is a CLUNK sound from inside the box, the halo turns solid green, the car beeps three times, and the 3 blue lights flash sequentially until 11pm when the charge timer kicks on, etc. We all know how it works.
Today, I went through the same routine. I don't remember anything unusual happening, however when I looked back over my shoulder while walking away I noticed that the halo was red. Closer inspection shows the Fault light lit-up. I tried resetting the unit per the instructions in the manual. No change. When I reset the GFCI circuit ALL the lights on the Versacharge flash once, and then the unit goes straight to fault mode.
Any ideas? I read about something similar on the Volt forum and the person said that they left the car plugged in and the fault eventually reset itself. Thats what I'm doing currently, but it makes me a bit nervous to leave my car connected to a box with an active fault.
Thanks for any feedback.
