Last night the Leaf EVSE showed a fault light, and the car didn't charge up. I switched the EVSE off and then on again and fault light went off in the morning, drove to weork and charged nearby at a ( luckily not ICEd ) charge point
So tonight I went up after 9pm ( timer kicks in then for cheaper elec ) to make sure the EVSE was not faulting, things seemed to be fine but then I heard a clicking sound, emanating from near the charge sockets - but probably underneath the bonnet.
Has anyone heard anything like this before, sounds like a relay going off , it's not regular, it sounds like random clicking. Bit worried that there is a relay somewhere that is going to burn out with that much clicking going on. Yet the charging seems to be normal.
I also wonder if it could be the gas/oil shock on the charge cover flap, because I had just lifted it..
If anyone could go and listen to their Leaf charge, I'd be grateful , if only to determine if mine is not the only one ( or is )
