Anyone have any idea where this part fits in the engine compartment? I opened mine up to add washer fluid and it was just laying there loose. (see pics) Thanks. Rick https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/923/Q8d1j1.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/924/kclSMy.jpg

A bit of an update. Got an email today with this... so in to the dealer I go. “We have been advised that you will need to take your vehicle to the dealership. They will have to call their TechLine to have the vehicle diagnosed. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Please reach out to us...

I had great functionality (with a few exceptions) with my 2015 and 2013 Leafs. But with the 2018 Leaf there are clearly some issues. The rest of the car is awesome! But I got so used to being able to remotely do things, that I miss it!

I agree. They’ll work it out (the Nissan Connect thing) and I really love this car. This is my third Leaf. Very big advancement in many ways.

Thank you for that! At least I'm not alone. Will keep waiting and hoping for a quick fix.

Any 2018 Leaf owners having trouble getting their car to send data to NissanConnect? I have contacted Nissan and they have "escalated" my case, but that simply means "they'll get back to me." During the process it was clear that the car is showing all signs of communicating with the system but...

I can share my recent experience having the dealer replace my TCU. I have a 2015 Leaf and the TCU replacement was free for me. I needed an annual inspection and called ahead to ask about the TCU. I know we were all notified about the 2G network going away but I didn't pay much attention until...

Success and confirmation of previous info from you guys! This morning after overnight charging in very cold weather (low's in the teens F) I did not run Climate Control, and with the car still on the trickle charger I checked the battery and got a reading of 100%. Yay!! So it turns out my...

Awesome. Will do some experiments this weekend without CC and on days where the temps get a little higher. I'll report back here. Thanks folks. - Rick

Thanks for the quick response! I am trickle-charging over night and as you suggested, letting it top out and remain connected to shore power for like 8 hours or so. This morning I ran climate control while still connected to the 110, so I didn't look at the charge before doing that. Last...

Just picked up a new 2015 SL with about 60 miles on it. I'm in New England and it is very cold here right now. My Leaf lives outside all year long. I drove my 2013 SL for a year and a half so I am familiar with the impact on rage from cold temperatures. My question here is that this is a new...

Thanks folks for the tips so far. I'm actually not going to need a second charger on this trip, and there really is no better further location prior to my destination. There is a great big empty in terms of public charging stations. But I get your point. I will think about that some more...

I have a possible trip coming up that would be fun to try since the total distance means refueling. My question is only about one way, since I have ample charging and time once I reach my destination. I have a 2013 SL and I live in New England, so this trip (with the exception of occasional...

My wife's ICE car had a dead battery for reasons we could clearly identify (operator error) so I grabbed the manual. I was able to read all about how to jump a dead Leaf battery but saw nothing about going the other way. So I left the Leaf off and ran the cables as I would with any other car...

Thanks for the answers. It was the first time I'd seen that reverse number phenomenon and I was only testing the plugs for a short time. So I unplugged and got on with my day. I'm in New England and it was a very hot day in case that matters. But I wasn't concerned and thanks to your answers...
