Tesla Error

[TheFallenNinja]

Hi all

Has anyone seen this on a Tesla?
When I attached a tank (any tank) and only screw it in half way, no problem, if I go a little further than half way it show the Short error message.

And a video to illustrate

Any ideas?

You need to get a close up of the connector, where the floating pin is. I think that either the pin is slightly bent or the insulation washer is broke. There is a fix floating around the internet somewhere for putting a thicker washer on.

Thats as close as I can get and still can't see much adrift, I'm baffled.

The short is being created when its fully screwed in, so somewhere the positive is touching the negative. looking at that connector, there is nothing wrong with that washer. Get the pin a good clean and surrounding areas. If that doesnt resolve it, then I think there is a problem inside.

How long have you had it? If you want PM me the vendor

All sorted mate, thanks the vendor just swapped it for me there and then.

Now, back to vaping
