2016 Volt: Illuminated charge port doesn't light up when thecharge port door is opened.

IceT · Apr 22, 2021

Until recently, opening the charge port door illuminated the charge port, making it much easier to connect up in the dark. Lately the port remains dark when the door is opened, but I can make it light up by pushing the unlock/lock button on the driver's door handle. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? I can live with toggling the driver's door button but it would be better if that wasn't necessary.

The car recently received the battery cell balancing software update, but I didn't notice if the problem and the update coincided.

Thanks.

Lose connection? There is not much to these by looking at the parts. See

I'm quite sure it's easy. I am getting mine installed I can tell you how long it takes them it will give you an idea... Do you know the price of the interior lights option (parts + labor)? It's footwell and cupholder lights I think. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

When you open the charge door and it does not light up, and then enter the car without using the FOB and start the car do you get the charge door is open warning? If not it is the button switch that the charge door presses on

Yes, the charge door open icon displays only if the charge door is open and the car is not in 'Park".
