Aptiv Delphi 3 pin charger flashing red fault light

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone can help me out or has come across the same issue I have. I have been using an aptiv delphi 3 pin home charger for the past few months no problems. Only last week when I plugged it in, I noticed the fault light started to flash. It flashed continuesly 3 times then pauses for 1 second then does it again 3 times. It goes on and on and on. I have tried various sockets at home and also my wife tried it at work.

This is a charger that came with the bmw but I use it on my Volvo XC90 plug in hybrid. I also use an extention lead.

I have attached some pictures if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

I mean, you CAN have a charge point without a driveway...

The goverment grant wouldnt pay out if you didnt, but theres nothing stopping a spark installing one.

Just depends if you can come up with a suitable physical arrangement.

For long term use if your going to continue with a portable charger, i would suggest you get one with a 16A commando socket instead of a normal household 3 pin plug. Similarly use a commando extension and outlet on your house.
OK. I didn't realise that. I have a front garden with a brick wall. So I could potentially have the unit fixed to the inside part of the wall. I also have a disabled bay outside my house.
