I replaced the power cord on mine a few years ago. I found the case real easy to open, just 6 torx screws and it splits into three sections with rubber o-rings.
Gen 1 charge cord not working, interior water and heat damage
So I'm having issues with the lights on the charge cord a couple years ago. I forget the exact light pattern. Got a new cord. Finally cut the old one open and this is what I found.
Seems like water intrusion. It's interesting that the insulation is falling off the white cable. Seems like I could send this to Dave at EVDoctor4Earth. Thoughts from anyone? I need to use the cable outdoors, so, since the seal is broken, I'm guessing this one will never be any good for outdoor use again, but maybe someone with a garage would like it? DM me, or, if you think it can be fixed and resealed, good as new, LMK that too.
P.S. This thing is a **** to open! The two halves seem to be melted together for a (not so) permanent seal. Anyone know otherwise? I sawed this one open with a rotary tool and a grinding wheel.
