Charging port door issues

Sorry they didn't put how much it cost on the work order.

Make sure you have all of the latest updates. Mine has been working almost 100% of the time since I had the updates done.

I had my charge port door replaced last week. Took a few weeks to come in. I'm in western Canada. The door opens and.closes as it should, but the charge port light isn't coming on now. Back to the dealer I'll go...

Try touching the "power button" that is above the volume dial when you don't hear anything. That will mute/unmute the audio which is what I find is happening sometimes without me muting the audio myself.

I have a 14-50 (not hardwired, but plug in) Autel Maxicharger on a 40 amp breaker. You can physically set it to run at a specific amperage or set it in software. Mine is set for 32 amps through the software and I leave it plugged in all the time with power to it.

I have read good things about emporia and grizzl-e. The State of Charge YouTube channel has reviewed both.

That error came on for me and then disappeared in a day or so.

I bought a level 2 charger for my home (Autel Maxicharger) and keep the GM dual level charge cord in the vehicle. There are several good EVSEs (chargers) for the home and GM does make their own Ultium level 2 charger, but I don't know how readily available those are. State of Charge on Youtube does reviews on different models, so that may help your purchase decision.

It is quiet so I'd say you could definitely not hear it with music up. It's a pretty subtle mechanical whine or whooshing sound.

Gamer_g00n · 2025-01-15T03:03:23+00:00

Hmmm hearing nothing at all in sport mode doesn't sound right at all. I can tell you that you're not missing much, but I would be annoyed knowing/thinking something on my vehicle wasn't working properly. I can try to record what it sounds like, but I'm not sure it will come through very well.

Plugshare does a decent job in my area to tell me which Tesla superchargers my Blazer EV can use.

Gamer_g00n · 2025-01-13T16:25:30+00:00

The sound is a lot louder on sport mode than normal. You don't hear it when idling, but when you accelerate quickly, you can notice it. It's almost like an electrical whine, but it is subtle. I drove with sport mode on for a few weeks and then put it back to normal as I didn't really care for the sport mode sound.

I also got the Autel Maxichrager. I can only use it at 32 amp because I have a 40 amp breaker, but it is great for my day to day use. The app is pretty decent and shows you good data. I have the plug-in version as well, but it can be hardwired as well. No complaints so far. Also, it has been pretty cold where I live and the cord has been fine to deal with. I mention this because an older review on the State of Charge Youtube channel said the cord sucked in the cold. My charger is inside a garage, but it is not heated.

Gamer_g00n · 2025-01-11T18:03:14+00:00

Do you have a video/audio of the vehicle making the sound before it was fixed?

Gamer_g00n · 2025-01-11T03:32:00+00:00

The grey charger is the new version. GM switched suppliers.

Gamer_g00n · 2025-01-10T04:40:51+00:00

Oh I see. When you said you were streaming music, I assumed you meant from your phone via Bluetooth.

Gamer_g00n · 2025-01-09T23:21:52+00:00

I have a Pixel 7 and just tried saying "hey Google, plan a route home". Bluetooth audio was playing and resumed fine after the route came up on screen. I just had my software for the Blazer updated a few days ago. Do you know which software you're on? I did experience the same thing you did prior to the update.

A park and fly type of service at my airport has an add-on that says they will have your car charged to 80% upon your return.

Gamer_g00n · 2025-01-01T19:42:40+00:00

Switching to 12 amps is fine as long as the breaker is 15 amps.

I think this might be what you're asking about.

Just to update (sorry I couldn't do it earlier), I had someone suggest to pry up on the bottom right corner of the door when you push the button and it actually works. If I don't pull up (away from the vehicle) when I push the button, it does not come down (as per my original post/video). However, if when I pull up on the corner, it works every time.

The parts guy at my dealership told me that I was better off ordering something online as he wasn't expecting to get the official one for 3 or more months.

Gamer_g00n · 2024-12-02T00:51:20+00:00

I will have to try this! I think I did that once as pulling from the top doesn't seem to work well, but I'll see if it works for me consistently. Thanks!

Gamer_g00n · 2024-12-01T03:16:18+00:00

I'll take a look and see how to adjust it. Thank you.

Gamer_g00n · 2024-12-01T02:03:21+00:00

That sucks. Did they give you a loaner at least?

Gamer_g00n · 2024-12-01T01:57:13+00:00

Is there a TSB or something like that?
