I just wanted to post back to say thanks for all the advice I received here. In the end my wife expressed a strong preference that we move on to an undamaged Leaf. I felt pretty good that it was going to be a not too difficult fix but the batteries were getting a bit tired, car pool sticker...

The car has been secure in my driveway since the accident so no new damage. Tonight I was able to reset all the codes except for some airbag related and drive the car back and forth a couple feet in my driveway. Here's my latest remaining codes: https://photos.app.goo.gl/F5b82q6HKWfowPdf6 How...

Thanks so much for the info. I have the battery on a charger as of last night so I'll try to reinstall tonight and clear the codes. Only the steering wheel airbag deployed. I found this US company that not only claims they can reset the airbag module, but also repair seat belts...

Our 2011 with 36k miles was totalled by the other person's insurance company and I'm contemplating a buy back to fix it given the low miles and cost to upgrade to a newer car but I'm not sure what's involved with repairing/resetting the airbag system. The car needs a fender and front bumper but...

The junkyard said it was a low mileage 2012 Leaf in great condition as it was only used for some testing, but couldn't be sold after the testing was complete. It had to be scrapped because it lacked certain import certifications. If you live in the Bay Area and need any low mileage parts...

Thanks. I'll send a message if I decide to go that route, but for now I think I'll just hack the rear heater switch. I don't want to expand the scope of the project any more than I have to. I have too many unfinished projects as it is :)

Thank you!! I read through a few different heated seat threads and I could have sworn that I saw it mentioned that the option was available later in 2011. Maybe that was referencing MY 2012 vehicles delivered in 2011? In any case, I have the diagram in hand now. It looks like I just need to...

Thanks, I saw that one, which is here: https://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6810&start=29 But the missing piece I need is the pinout of the connector going to the factory passenger seat since that is the only OEM heated seat piece I have. I think I can make it work for that seat...

Thanks, I saw that but I was assuming that was a factory switch in the console, which I'm hoping to skip installing. There is a single connection at the bottom of my replacement seat and at first I couldn't figure out why it had so many wires, but then I realized it was dealing with the routing...

Sorry to bump up such an old thread but I'm wondering if anyone has the factory diagram for the connection of the passenger side heated seat. I went through this discussion (and some of the related wiki items) but didn't find that info. I had to swap my original non-heated seat out because of a...

Hello, I had to swap out my passenger seat with a used unit after the failure of the occupancy sensor. The replacement has the factory seat heater, which would really make my wife really happy if I could wire it up as she runs colder than I. Since my model year 2011 doesn't have the connection...

I know this thread is a bit old but in case it helps anyone else, I was purchasing a used seat for my 2011 this past weekend from a junkyard and the guy running the place said that these types of sensors either become faulty from accident impact or by someone bouncing on the seat. I don't know...

That's correct. At close to 30k on the odometer my inner tie rod that I just removed had no noticeable play. I'm guessing the outer tie rod will go earlier. I think you're correct about longevity. My guess is that most people will probably be more tempted by a slightly newer EV with greater...

To add further clarity, I ordered part BECK/ARNLEY 1017812 from Rockauto, which they list as compatible, but the threads are coarser and the threaded stub of a smaller size. Otherwise they seem almost identical, including the threading in to the outer tie rod. Rockauto also list DORMAN 523243 as...
