calidude Posted May 2, 2017 at 02:04 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 at 02:04 AM Hi, I noticed a humming sound coming from the back of the car while it was charging in the garage. Is this normal? I'm assuming it's some kind of cooling fan for the battery? My second question is, is the the "P" supposed to stay lit up while charging? Mine does. Wasn't sure if it's supposed to. Thanks!

murphy Posted May 2, 2017 at 09:59 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 at 09:59 AM There is a blower in the trunk, under the foam, between the air compressor and the EVSE. What "P" are you talking about? A picture is worth a 1000 words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphy Posted May 2, 2017 at 02:24 PM Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 at 02:24 PM Sorry, the P as in "parking" on the shifter knob.Can't help you with that one. My car doesn't have a shift knob, it has a shift lever that doesn't have any indicators on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidoo Posted May 2, 2017 at 11:16 PM Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 at 11:16 PM Yes, the P on my parking knob in the center console stays lit while it is charging as well. I'm assuming this is normal since both of us have that. I'm in Phoenix where it is getting up close to 100 degrees again, and the fan noise when charging is significantly more now than it was during the winter.

calidude Posted May 2, 2017 at 11:19 PM Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 at 11:19 PM Thanks Davidoo! I noticed the P stays on for a few minutes even when not charging. But it does turn off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion2 Posted July 7, 2017 at 02:16 AM Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 at 02:16 AM My Ford focus never made any noise charging. Were we able to confirm it's a fan? Since it makes noise even when it's on value charge, not charging but plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion2 Posted July 7, 2017 at 02:17 AM Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 at 02:17 AM And I meant I had a Ford focus ev which never made noise but my Platinum energi does make the same humming noise above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
