Here is a link to how the "magic" works, at the end is what can interfere with it:

Let the dealer fix it if it is still under warranty. If nothing is blocking the field then the unit has failed. If you can solder I would take a look at the internal connections on the board.

Thanks for the information
Already have an appointment with the dealer
Purchased our EXPY 5/21/2018 so not very old

Finally got appointment with dealer
Went in yesterday
Had to leave it overnight for what should be 15 minutes of diagnosis time
Dealer had to call ford tech to diagnose problem
Dealer finally called this morning
Had to order a new WACM
Same diagnosis I gave the dealer when I went in yesterday
Oh well

I know this is a old post but whatever happened with your wireless charger issue? I just started to use mine for the first time an I’m getting the exact same message.

I find the key is to put the lower edge of the phone on the stops at the bottom of the pad and then let the top fall in.

I’ll mess around with positioning, mine is a little different since it’s a Navigator but I figure the messages are the same so whatever the problem is likely similar.

Had this start to happen the other day. Worked fine with my iPhone XS, but moved on to the iPhone 12 Pro. Wife’s 12 Pro does the same thing. Was thinking it might be phone related and not charger related. I gave my mom my XS so I can give it a try and see if it is related to different phone or if the charger is on the fritz.
