I searched but got lost in "red light blinking", "blinking 3 times", and all sorts of combos that didn't seem to match my situation so I thought I'd just post my situation. Yesterday, I had plugged the car in to charge using my stock 120v EVSE (car had about 50% battery) and a couple hours later I needed to go out again: the car wasn't fully charged: only charged one segment above 50%. Thought nothing of it: just unplugged and drove away like normal.
When I got home, I parked and plugged it back in like I always do and looked at the dash. I didn't get the normal amber and then green blinking light on the dash so I knew something was up. Tried unplugging and plugging it back in a couple times: still nothing. I looked up (the EVSE is on the ceiling) and saw the red light on solid and the green light blinking continuously. Plugging it in or unplugging it (from the car, not the AC power) didn't change the lights: still red solid and green blinking continuously.
Since it's hard to get up there to unplug the EVSE, I just went to the breaker box and turned the garage breaker off for a few seconds and back on. After that, it worked normally. First time this has ever happened but I must admit I rarely unplug it mid-charge cycle.
Anyone else had this happen? Not that worried since the car charged to full normally last night after power cycling the EVSE.
Thanks,
Mike
