What is the reason for the red charging light on the Wuling Hongguang Mini?
2 Answers
This indicates that there is no grounding, so normal charging is not possible. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of this car are 2917 mm, 1493 mm, and 1621 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 1940 mm. 2. Power specifications: The Wuling Hongguang Mini's engine has a maximum power of 20 kW and a maximum torque of 85 Nm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link non-independent suspension. Using a non-independent rear suspension helps reduce costs, which in turn can lower the car's selling price. Additionally, using a torsion beam rear suspension can expand the rear seating space and trunk space.
I've been repairing cars for many years, and when I see the Wuling Hongguang MINI's charging red light on, it's usually a warning signal. The most common issue is with the charging equipment, such as unstable voltage from your home power socket or a loose charging gun connector, causing an interruption in current transmission. Another reason could be the battery's self-protection being triggered, such as overheating during charging in hot weather, where the vehicle automatically cuts off power to prevent damage; or abnormal conditions during battery preheating in cold temperatures. Sometimes, excessive dust in the charging port causing poor contact can also lead to the red light turning on. I recommend you first check the basics: ensure the socket voltage is around 220V without fluctuations, and the charging gun connection is secure without looseness. If the light still doesn’t go off, pause the charging and let the vehicle cool down for a while before trying again. If the issue persists, promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection to avoid prolonged damage to the battery pack. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the charging port, can reduce such problems, but avoid disassembling it yourself to prevent electric shock risks.
