What year is your car? My comments have been aimed toward pre 2005 cars. Your comments and Inwo make me realize it is the later model. Early models had a directly switched interlock circuit as in the pictures below. Newer models have an interlock signal from the charger to the 'CHARGER INTERLOCK" in the circuit as pictured by Inwo. I havent had any experience withe these so anything I can offer would be speculation at this point. However I think this area could be part of your problem
I have a Zivan Charger Pictures are of my connections.
The display shows charging when the charger is unplugged
The car wont go
If so find the Switch Key Relay in Inwoâs diagram and see if you have any power to the coil in the run mode.
If no I think were on the right track.
Trace the relay coil wire back to the CHARGER INTERLOCK. Is this a physical relay or a potted device? What color are the wires Iâm guessing red,green, blue , and black

Yes same page and Iâm gonna look at it asap thanks for help and yes itâs a 07
Ok I got it fixed. A green wire coming in from charger had come unplugged so it works now thanks to everybodyâs help. Worst part was taking dash apart to trace down the wire lol
you really should check your batteries . if you have bad cell in one it well overstress the others and shorten their life . the deltaq well do an equalization charge on gels at the end . it well temperaroly take each gel battery to 16v. if you have a bad cell it well distribute that voltage to the other cells , not good . check each battery when the charge is on the lower side . you well probably find one that is inconsistent with the others
A few months back I charged each battery separate and the charger I had went to full charge on each one. It was a genius smart charger and my delta q was still doing the error thing then
your genius charger wont do a 16v equalization charge . Iâve seen this happen before on deltaqâs . they get thru the cc phase , then the cv phase . but when it goes to balance charge , one battery wont come up high enough and it cant complete . hence the error. you donât have to do anything . itâs just a possible warning sign that you have a single battery that is not playing well with others .
I did that and the green wires are plugged in and still the charging icon is lit on the dash and the car wonât move because it thinks itâs still plugged in.
