Jmccaskill Posted July 18, 2015 at 06:16 PM Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 at 06:16 PM When the car is locked, and you try to open the doors, the charge port will not illuminate. When I try to open the trunk when its locked, it does light the ring around the port. Does anybody know why this happens, and does it happen to your car?

Hybridbear Posted July 18, 2015 at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 at 07:39 PM I see strange charge port light ring behavior too. Sometimes the light ring on the Focus lights up right as we pull in next to it in the Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric4539 Posted July 18, 2015 at 07:40 PM Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 at 07:40 PM My car does this too. My guess is that the door handle has a sensor that has to detect the key fob. You aren't depressing a button and pulling the handle doesn't communicate with the sensor since the door is locked. The trunk has a physical button that must trigger the electronics when you push it which then lights the charge port ring. Of course, I'm just making this up as I go... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmccaskill Posted July 19, 2015 at 06:41 PM Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 at 06:41 PM I was checking it out again, and I locked the car with the keypad on the door, and the charging port blue ring didn't turn off. I always use the keyless entry and unlock. I had to go, but was wondering how long it stays on, because it seems weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmccaskill Posted July 19, 2015 at 07:06 PM Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 at 07:06 PM (edited) I wonder if this happens on certain models, not just all versions Edited July 19, 2015 at 07:08 PM by Jmccaskill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the light ring on the Focus lights up right as we pull in next to it in the Fusion. Hahah I've actually see this... I don't fully understand it myself but a fusion energi charging next to mine a Dundas Square in Toronto will light up its ring when I remote start my car. Its like they're saying hello. Through their charging rings. :wub: Hybridbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
