I could not find anything about a Red Blinking Light in the Charging Port and an associated failing to charge. The manual speaks to three colors, see below. Failed once with red light. Failed second time with red light. Both times, after connecting to my home charger, it appeared to start normally. The third time the charging continued with no failure and no red light. The second time I made sure that the connection to the car was solid, thinking perhaps the first time I failed to click it in. Not sure, at this point, is it the car, the charger, or the connection point not connecting solidly. Using a can of compressed air, after the charge completed, I applied air to both the port and the plug. I would hate to be on the road, needing a charge and have this occur with no knowledge of what the cause is.
From the manual:
"There are three charge port indicator light colors, which indicate a specific action:
White is used as a courtesy light to help with plugging in and to acknowledge actions such as plugging in and unplugging.
Blue is used when the vehicle is plugged in and either charging or waiting to charge.
Amber is used to indicate charge faults.
Note: Charging faults are identified by the color amber on the charge status indicator. Faults can occur within the vehicle charging system or outside the vehicle, such as with the mobile power cord, charge station or electrical supply.
Note: If the system detects a fault in the vehicle charging system at any point in a charge cycle, the entire charge status indicator illuminates solidly in an amber color for 30 seconds and then turns off. If this happens, unplug the charge coupler and then plug it back into the charge port receptacle. If the problem persists, have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Note: If the system detects a fault outside the vehicle, such as with the charge station or mobile power cord, the entire charge status indicator flashes amber continuously for 30 seconds and then turns off. If this happens check the mobile power cord, charge station or electrical supply."
