Sorry for the trouble — here's what our guidance says for your exact situation (Volvo showing "Error" with codes 243/244 despite the connector being locked, shift in P, power OFF, and settings correct):
**What the errors mean**
Error codes 243/244 typically indicate that the vehicle has not granted charging permission, or a communication timeout occurred between the vehicle and the charger (see /sources/en/runbooks/charging-troubleshooting.md:135 and :243).
**What to try, in this order**
1. **Move to the opposite charger (the other side) and retry.** Since you've already reseated the left connector many times with all vehicle conditions correct, the next step is to try the opposite dispenser (per /sources/en/runbooks/charging-troubleshooting.md:285 and :133).
2. **If the opposite side also fails, use another charger or station.**
3. **If charging still won't start anywhere**, the vehicle itself may not be granting charging permission — in that case, please consult your Volvo dealer about the vehicle's state (/sources/en/runbooks/charging-troubleshooting.md:135).
**About billing**
If you were charged despite not being able to charge (for example, after giving up and moving to another site), please contact us and we'll look into a refund (/sources/en/runbooks/charging-troubleshooting.md:137).
One extra tip: when you retry, you can also try the "Charge again" option in the app after reseating the connector until it clicks (/sources/en/runbooks/charging-troubleshooting.md:133).
