Last night I noticed that I had messages on FordPass that my FCSP had faulted and was unable to charge my Lightning.

The messages headings were: "Something went wrong with your Charge Station" at 4:23AM Sept 9.
and at 6:43PM the same day. However it did charge my truck just fine the day before on Sept 8, and no charge session was happening on the 9th.

The body said: "Something went wrong and your charge station can't charge your vehicle. Open your charge station settings for more information."

Nothing in the "settings" that I could see. But there is a big red banner that says: "Charge Station Faulted" above the image of the FCSP when I first open the tab for the FCSP.

When I look at the Setup and Configuration, and open the FCSP setup, manage settings, I see nothing out of the ordinary or unusual. Software and Firmware seem to be the same as at the last update"

There was a short utility power glitch the other day, maybe there were two at the times specified in the fault notice? I would not have noticed the 4:23AM one of course.

Very strange.

Strange things are happening…
I plugged in the next day and all has been good since. No faults, no codes, no settings changed but for some reason I charged at 9.6kw one day and the next day no matter what I did it only charged at 3.3kw
The day after, back to 9.6kw….
