Hi everyone, I recently leased a Nissan Leaf. At the level 2 charging station, it doesn't seem to work. I plugged it in, it beeped and then the third light started to slowly blink. It wasn't charging at all.

Then I did a workaround. I connected my trickle charger to my car. It started charging. I then disconnected the trickle charger and then plugged in the previously non working level 2 wall charger. And then it started charging.

Do you know what could be the cause of this? I haven't tried out any other charging stations yet (i only just now got my blink card activated).

Any others have this problem? Please help.

Thank you~
 
From the owner's manual:
When the indicator light (3) flashes
The indicator light (3) flashes when the 12-volt battery is being charged. The indicator also flashes when the following systems are operating:
  • Climate control timer
  • Remote climate control
  • Li-ion battery heater (if so equipped)
My money is on a climate control timer since I don't believe that operates when on L1 (not enough power) to do both, IIRC.
