I did that. But the service manager was clueless and the codes are note listed on the service papers. As stated above, I have asked for a call from the tech, but it hasn't come yet (if it does at all). Sorry if I let you down, but I don't know what more I could have done.

As I posted in one other thread: I just picked up the car after the second repair visit -- this one nine days. The part number of the replaced part is 292C0-3NF3B. The service manager again disclaimed any ability to speak in more than generalities regarding Leafs. However, he said the tech told...

Tennessee. I just picked up the car after the second repair visit -- this one nine days. The part number of the replaced part is 292C0-3NF3B. The service manager again disclaimed any ability to speak in more than generalities regarding Leafs. However, he said the tech told him it was the...

I have owned my Leaf for nine weeks now, and it has been in the shop two separate times for a total of 16 days for failure to charge. I am now on my third PDM. Mean time between failure has been three weeks.

Day 4: Part still not in. Service Advisor can't say for sure when part is coming in.

The service advisor says the technician spent most of Monday on the phone with Nissan Tech, and then it was determined that a new module needed to be ordered. I asked what module, and specifically if it was the PDM. The service advisor said he really had little clue about Leafs, but understood...

Unfortunately, this turned out not to be the final update. I got five weeks good use out of the car this time, but today it has stopped charging again. Same thing as before: it will show that it's charging for a second or two, then stop charging. The yellow EV light is on again. I guess I...

Final update (hopefully): I picked up the car this morning. I was told the PDM was bad and they replaced it with a new PDM and that all now is working correctly again. The service advisor showed me the new PDM unit, which is the big silver box right in the middle of the motor compartment. I...

LEAFer, yes that would be the obvious choice. Anyway, as to the car, the replacement job is no stretching to a third day. Supposedly, it will be ready for pickup tomorrow, assuming all systems are working correctly when they get it fully replaced. I asked what they determined was specifically...

Apparently it is the Power Delivery Module, in other words, the big silver component right in the middle of the "engine compartment" (what is this space called on an EV?). I am told replacing it is an involved process and it will take another day to complete.

After two days on the phone with Nissan Tech, the service department says they are ordering a new power distribution module, which they will install. Is this the same thing as the Power Delivery Module shown in the owner's manual or is it something different, if anybody knows? Thanks.

During the 10 days I have had the Leaf, I have charged it most days on 110v at home. Last weekend, and again this weekend, I charged on a Blink Level 2 EVSE while on errands. Today, after 20 minutes charging, I got an e-mail that the charge was completed. Since I started at 50%, I know that...

I bought last Saturday for 8.6% below invoice (even counting "processing fee" in the purchase price) from a high volume dealer near Nashville, and got similar offers from local dealers, so I think the dealers have quite a bit of room.

Did you call them or is that speculation?
