I've had this happen once. Rocked the connector up & down, side to side a bit and finally yanked and it came out... was frozen on there. (edit: My 2017 has a different charge port with a bit of give, probably to accommodate the heavy & tensioned SAE Combo DC fast charge connectors, not sure ...

I guess the main function of the LEDs is alerting others that your car is still charging so they don't yank your connection... if you're in a workplace or apartment type of situation with many cars and few chargers. Otherwise yeah, who cares?

In sub-20F temps my FFE consistently got around 70-75mi max. >20F it gets a little better and >32F, >40F etc it just gets better... There's definitely a persistent loss beyond the heater though. IIRC the battery coolant warmers might be running, though I haven't validated that with FORScan yet, but ...

I guess Im asking what is the pid that will tell me the amps being drawn from the charger. I know Ive seen a screenshot of someones app that showed a gauge with this info. Ive been charging with a 16amp (240v) charger and recently got one that I have set at 24 (service isnt high enough to set it at...

Ah breadboards, they always get me into trouble.

Also not strictly required for functioning of the EV/drivetrain components. Stupid but true... Ford's gonna use every reason to weasel themselves out of paying for anything.

So we know 2017's appear to be safe at 240V unmodified... prior years it's a gamble. Or at least one part# does work.

That's awesome... I love a good 'ole fashioned hack!

Yeah, driving the jeep in the bad weather. I understand the possibility of getting stuck. I really meant if there was any threat of fire or shock. The whole hybrid battery isolation fault leads me to believe that there may be 300v that is not isolated any more. No idea of course beyond an educated ...

An inline fuse maybe? It's a typical protection method for lower voltage DC stuff anyhow.
