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....
Very good info, you covered just about everything!
