There are some simple things to test:
  • Verify the AC outlet has power.
  • In rare occurances the OBC power down mode, drive cart for 5 minutes and retry


Some common things go wrong that require some voltmeter skills:
  • Batteries are severely under charged, I believe the pack must have around 38 volts for the charger to start.
  • The relay in the charger goes, just replaced one last year on my Par Car
  • The on board computer has issues.
  • OBC fuse is blown

If you are a DIY'er with a voltmeter I can send some pointers....
