Hello,
One of the first gen Leafs I work on has a problem with its quick charge port: it won't lock the charging cable. The cable goes in without any extra difficulty and even charges the car mostly without problems, but there's no audible click from it and the cable can be freely disconnected from the car, even during charging. This has happened on 5 different charging stations now. If I was to disconnect the cable during charging, it can trigger an orange EV system warning light on the dashboard, or it can take the charger itself out of service completely.
What should I look at to diagnose the problem? Is this even possible to repair by myself?
