Tony, here's the resistor I used to fix my car: https://www.amazon.com/Tsnamay-Resistor-Aluminum-Wirewound-Chassis/dp/B0BV6PSGT7/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3ANM31GV5AWK&keywords=100w%2B30%2Bohm&qid=1706200031&sprefix=100w%2B30%2Bihm%2Caps%2C152&sr=8-2&th=1 Now you should just cut the wires off of your...

You most likely need a new 12V battery. They are most likely to fail in very cold weather. Unfortunately, you will also likely need someone nearby to clear all the DTC codes generated by the bad battery before you will be able to drive the car again. Unless you have a buddy with LeafSpy, it...

Looks like you had some fireworks. The transistors could easily be replaced but not sure if that would fix the board. Worth a try perhaps. Have you checked eBay for the OBC?

I would need to check the wiring diagram to see if what they say is possible, but it makes sense after paying your $1200 again to make sure all current draws are turned off until the car is started.

Well, this is certainly a problem. So what do you do to resume your trip up the mountain after Turtle? I think your only recourse is to document, document, document. Take photos of everything (dashboard and LeafSpy) and note the circumstances when it occurs. Don't clear any codes if they occur...

Chris, Cornbinder is correct that the problem could be inside or outside the battery. If your range is low then trying a new battery will at least restore your range even if the problem is outside. Otherwise, a very expensive gamble. In my car, changing the battery did NOT solve this same...

Ouch, Tony, there's something else going on that's burning out your resistor. This is not normal behavior for a Leaf - This is a very rare problem you are having. While they are in there make sure they figure out what is causing it to burn out. In my car, the cause was a small flood in the...

Saipan, the minute you drop the 9th bar, drive the car over to Nissan and show it to them. It's no guarantee you'll get a warranty replacement but it's your best shot.

Here's a thread on those specific DTCs if you haven't seen it: https://mynissanleaf.com/threads/ze0-onboard-charger-troubleshooting.33388/ But....you swapped the chargers and they both worked in the opposite cars, so they are likely fine, and the above thread won't apply to your case. I'm...

Way back in 2016, my son, who was driving my 2011 Leaf, told me he was getting close to being unable to make his commute with the range available in the car. I took a look and it was down to 8 bars. I took it to the dealer only to be told I had missed the warranty window by a couple of weeks. I...

Generally, I think manufacturers recommend running a heavy conductor directly to the battery or a battery relay. I know it's cramped in there, but can't you find a small spot to drill a hole in the firewall and install a grommet for the wire? Alternately, remove the plastic covers and route the...

1) No, generally you cannot use your LeafSpy on an auction vehicle - even in the rare case that you can get access to the car, the 12V battery is often discharged by the time the car appears at auction. LeafSpy reads the data out of the BMS, and a reset causes all the historical data to be...

I'm agreeing with the other posters, that diagnosing this problem can be a lot of tail chasing. Be certain of the cause before changing parts, and only the parts at fault. This can be expensive. I had this problem in my 2012 - the system detected a HV ground fault somewhere and the car refused...

You might be better off paying the $6500 for a known-good battery with at least some warranty. I've done 3 battery swaps, and was unlucky on one of them. It was an auction 2012 showing 12 bars. What I didn't know when I bought the car was that Nissan had done a BMS reset to try to fix its...

I agree with DHyatt's answer. If there are no DTCs, then the problem is likely the charger socket in the car. My car does the same thing if I don't insert the J1772 plug securely. It shouldn't cost much to get a replacement socket and its attached cable from eBay and install it in your car. No...

Ahmad, do you have LeafSpy and the dongle? My issue with not-starting was resolved by clearing the codes, at which point the car would start. The offending code would return eventually and then I would have to clear it again. I just carried the dongle in the car with me in case I was caught away...

Xafalcon, how about some pictures of your installation? I would never have thought the 2nd battery would fit.

Leaflifer, the way to save your ride is to install another battery. See the post above about the people who do this commercially. You can also do it yourself if you can do car work - takes an afternoon to perform. This is what I've done to keep my 2011s on the road after the batteries got...

Thanks for the advice, I will try to disconnect those units and post a reply with findings. So far, the fault only has occurred at vehicle start, not during charging. I almost never use the AC (even when over 100 degrees) and climate control is always off when starting the car. I doubt that any...

I'm experiencing an intermittent P0AA6 HV leak detected code about once every 20 or 25 times I start my 70K-mile Leaf. It doesn't keep me from running my daily driver, but it is annoying to have to reset the code to be able to drive the car when it randomly appears. Service writer at the dealer...
