My key intermittently doesn't work in my 2011 SV. I have 2 key fobs, replaced the batteries in both, and they just don't always work. The car almost always starts, sometimes briefly flashes "no key found", but it goes away quickly and I can start it. But unlocking the car is another story...

Is it possible to upgrade from S to a SV/SL radio unit in a 2017? Was wanting to have android auto and the larger screen, and I was wondering if I pulled it all off a junkyard leaf, if I could somehow end up with an upgrade. Anyone know if this is possible?

My 2011 Leaf intermittently says "key not found". The remotes also only lock and unlock the car intermittently. Any idea what would be wrong? It happens with all three keys, including one I just had programmed from Nissan (to troubleshoot). I've tried replacing the 2025 and the 12v battery...

My 2011 leaf seems to have lower efficiency than others I know of. Driving on the highway at 70mph in 36 degree weather (with a very light rain), with no heat, I got 2.6 mi/kwh. I'm seeing people post averages of 3-4, with one person getting 5.9 lifetime average (at the high end of things)...

I just got a Juicebox Classic 40 (used) and I plugged it into my Leaf. While I didn't have to force it, it didn't plug into the J1772 port as easily as the Nissan EVSE. I noticed that I had to lift up on the handle to get it to click into place and start charging the car. I looked at the plug...

I've noticed that the windows in my Leaf seem to roll down quite slowly--more so than other cars. I never thought too much about it until my driver side window stopped working. I replaced the window switches and that fixed the problem, but I'm wondering if the motor is having to work extra...

I saw this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/leaf/comments/ew5zv2/for_those_wondering_if_they_can_buy_a_40kw_to/ It sounded too good to be true, so I called Nissan EV Help. I just got off the phone and the 24 kWh battery replacement cost is now $5500, with the $1000 core charge, plus labor...

Just sold my 2011 SL w/7 bars (63k miles). Leaf values are higher in the midwest than in CA, and I was able to get $3,700 for it. I was extremely open about the range limitations of the car (even talking some people out of buying the car) and the rate of battery degredation, so I did NOT rip...

In getting the backup camera added to my car, a weird symptom has showed up. If I use the rear wiper, it triggers the door latch. Every time the rear wiper moves, the batch hatch door actuator opens (and you can open the rear hatch). The door release button works normally--it's just that the...

Just read this cool article about https://www.ice911.org/: https://grist.org/article/in-the-warming-arctic-a-promising-solution-to-climate-change/ In a nutshell, its a nonprofit who has found a way to reflect light and stop the loss of arctic sea ice. I'm not affiliated with them, but I...

In the back hatch, under the trim, there's a coil (small black box). It's called "coil" in the service manual. It was not on my 2011 SV, but it is on the SL. Anyone know its purpose?

I have successfully performed a pack swap on my 2011 Leaf. Local Nissan dealership refused to swap the packs. I have two 2011 Leafs: SL with minor rust, quarter panel damage, and cloth seats. SV in pristine shape, leather seats, but a bad battery. I'm transplanting the backup camera...

I am trying to upgrade my leaf to add a backup camera. I've wired the back hatch harness and the harness that goes through the hatch door, but no dice. I now want to take off the trim along the floor so I can inspect the m21 plug, as it appears my Leaf doesn't have a camera compatible harness...

I have a 2011 Leaf with no heated seats or steering wheel. Therefore, I'm pretty sure that I don't have the battery heater. The battery is also original, so I'm down to 7 bars. I'm seriously considering doing my own pack swap. There's a 2015 wreck local to me that I can get for a reasonable...

For anyone wanting to have their 2G TCU disconnected (for security reasons), you should know the following: 1) I had the service performed at 3 separate dealerships, and none of them could get it right. Keep in mind that I'm in the midwest (not CA), so their experience with Leafs is very...

I had an incident where I had to emergency brake hard a couple days ago in my 2011 leaf. Today I used LeafSpy and found the following codes: C118A ABS E-Driven Int Brake System BRC-124 C1A60 BRAKE Control Module BR-39 C1A61 BRAKE Motor Power Supply BR-46 I cleared the codes and they did not...

Apparently there was a sticky thready about this, but I can't find it. Does anyone know where I can get a service manual for my 2011 nissan leaf? I saw some site that I thought was nissan, but they wanted $210 for a printed copy or $20 for a one-day subscription. I just need an electronic PDF...

I just called Nissan about a replacement battery because my 2011 Nissan leaf is down to 8 bars and I only get about 35 miles on a charge. I was informed that the battery replacement cost is now $7000 plus labor and taxes (up from $5499). This means replacement costs are around $8500. This...

I just bought a used 2011 Nissan Leaf about 2 months ago. It charges every single time on the provided Level 1 EVSE (110V) that I have at my house. I just plug it in and it charges. I do have a timer set, but it's from something like 5:05AM until 5:00 AM to 80%. I only set the timer so that...
