I guess I'm the first to ask this, I didn't see it in a search. The group description says it is sponsored by the mynissanleaf.com website. It's also a private, join only group. Other than using another forum type setup for this forum? 🤨 What other purpose is it supporting?

I'm certain that my Rear Windows Defroster is not working. The first thing I did was check the (2) 15A fuses for it. I did measure the power usage when I turn on the Rear Window Defroster and it was only about 12 watts of power, which is likely the heated mirrors, but the large traces on the...

I found out yesterday that Nissan is going to perform what looks like a fairly large Recall on the Leaf. No announcement yet about it in the News, but here is the information I could find on it. Effective Date: February 6th, 2024 NHTSA ID: TBD NISSAN ID: R23D7 Summary Over time, the rear view...

This is more of documentation of my experience diagnosing an issue with a relatives 2018 Nissan Leaf. Hopefully this can provide useful information for anyone else in the future that runs into this dreaded error and left stranded. :cool: It started with a call from a panicked relative early in...

I don't often read stories about a Nissan Leaf catching fire (because Tesla seems to dominate those headlines), but sure enough, an employee was able to make one catch on fire at the QC station...

I think my Leaf was trying to tell me something or it has turned evil. :lol: :twisted:

I saw this on many news sites but they all lacked good detail. After reading the legal documents that were part of the lawsuit, it really looked like a case of someone or the dealership resetting the BMS and then after the used Tesla was purchased, it re-learns the battery capacity after an...

To give this some context, recently I wanted to recharge the refrigerant levels in my Leaf. I couldn't take it to any "generic" auto maintenance place because they did not have any HFC134a to source for a recharge. So, I had to take it to a Nissan Dealership instead. :? To make a long story...

A lot of CAN hacking is used in the Leaf community so naturally does anyone know if someone can start a Leaf and make it driveable via CAN? :o

This comes up from time to time, but the short version is when your Leaf is fully charged and still plugged in (L1,L2,ChaDeMo) the 12 Volt battery will experience a "drain" until you unplug your Leaf. While the Leaf is still plugged in, it can't do any "maintenance" charging for the 12 Volt...

Has anyone gotten one of these in the mail? It seems to apply to any Leaf after 2018 (I got two, one for my Leaf and another copy for my wife's Leaf) The recall is simply an "owner's manual supplement" they also send with the letter about how to use the "defrost" windshield feature. :roll:

A recent topic came up about the Goodyear "ElectricDrive" tires that just came out recently. Oddly enough, I can't really find any reviews from anyone using them on a Nissan Leaf (or any other EV for that matter), so I went ahead to decided to become a test subject for these tires. The rear...

My 2020 Leaf was rear-ended by a truck, I finally got a chance to get around to posting these pictures. I have a video to go with this, so when I get a chance I'll update this topic with a link too. To give this some context, I was in the slow lane on the Interstate, following a Tesla actually...

We often read reports and watch videos about various types of range test for the Nissan Leaf. While all of them are very informative, there does seem to be one area lacking in research. The QC station or network itself. While we assume that all QC are equal, from what I've seen, many are not...

I visited Echopark Automotive Birmingham in Alabama to check out a Leaf for a friend. It was a 2019 SL Plus, Red color. I did a test drive, went through every part of the Leaf looking for issues or broken stuff. Tested every button, features, knob, looked under the hood, checked the 12V battery...

It's night time, freezing outside, and my wife pulls into a QC station to charge. She gets the QC session going, then cranks up the heat to like 85F on the climate control (no joking), leaves the seat and wheel heater on, turns on the radio, reclines back to relax..... and falls asleep :lol...

I started a new topic for this because I found this Leaf quirk by accident as I was doing some research and experimentation for another topic I started here, but didn't really fit in with it. If anything, this seems to be some good info for those struggling with a dying 12V battery in winter...

Just for laughs... :lol: 🤪

Unusual for Tennessee anyway, descent snow fall, temperatures in the teens during the day, only 1 or 2 snow plows around for the entire county. Basically, just roads of solid ice about 1 to 2 inches think in most places. I've driven around during conditions like this in my Gen 1 Leaf and was...

With the recent news of drivers stuck on the I-95 in snow and freezing conditions, I thought why not create a topic about cold weather survival in your Leaf for emergencies. I was quite concerned when I asked my friends and family what they would do, most of them had no idea how to extend out...
