About a week ago, whilst sat in my 'home office', I heard my Rolec charge point clunk (it is just outside my office window.) Knowing the car was fully charged hours ago and the indicator was giving short green flashes I looked out to see if it was drawing power and noticed the car's indicator was giving two short green flashes. Two quick flashes in about 1 second, then a 2 second gap, then two more flashes etc.
I quickly looked in my manual to see what this means but it is not listed, so looked at the car again, it was still giving two short flashes. I checked the manual again in case I missed something and then when I looked again (thinking I am going mad) it was back to a single short green flash as normal. The total time it did this cannot have been more than a minute or minute and a half.
This happened again today whilst I was out cleaning the car windows. I know it was flashing short green having charged hours ago, I heard the charge point relay clunk so looked at the car's indicator and it was definitely giving TWO short green flashes, two second gap, then two more flashes etc. The charger on the wall was showing a blue indicator, which means charge cord plugged in but not drawing power. It was a cold morning today, about 0c (32f), having been down to about -5c overnight, could the car have just been drawing a bit of power for the 12v battery or to heat the main battery?
Has anyone else had this? I tried looking online but could find no reference to two short green flashes. I presume on both occasions the Rolec must have clunked on earlier when I was not there and I'd heard it clunk off. I did try to record it this time but by the time I had my phone camera running the indicator had returned to it's normal single short flashes. It is something that would be very easy to miss unless looking closely at the right time.
My car is a MY13 UK Ampera.
