The electrician was under instruction from CFCI, replace the cord, then the wall box. This is what he did. There were no field diagnostics performed. Good to hear from someone on the supply side.

I am surprised that CFCI just assumed the wall box had to be replaced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787729521565861656.post-22349904391014362752009-10-19T06:06:47.957-04:002009-10-19T06:06:47.957-04:00I dialed the very nice woman at x12 who explained ...I dialed the very nice woman at x12 who explained they are getting a new phone system and George is not currently listed.<br /><br />By the way, I had an issue over the weekend where it would not charge from the 12A either, after a little back and forth from 32A to 12A settings, I got the 12A to work again. <br /><br />Really starting to look like a PEU issue, I wish there was someone at Mini michael grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00891866835622066147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787729521565861656.post-55498353002785399522009-10-17T18:34:08.583-04:002009-10-17T18:34:08.583-04:00Mike, will it charge from the 240 volt interface w...Mike, will it charge from the 240 volt interface when the car is set to 12 amps? Mine sometimes does this. No harm from setting the current too low, it just takes longer to charge.<br /><br />Also, after charging with the 120 volt interface for 15 minutes or more, the 240 volt connection will almost always start to work again for me.<br /><br />As far as leaving the setting at 32 amps when Jim McLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514394481037410280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787729521565861656.post-88584540877917067592009-10-16T15:35:15.661-04:002009-10-16T15:35:15.661-04:00UPDATE

Meaning that either the cable or the box will need to be replaced. So I will be scheduling time for John to come back out to do this work.
