    Door panel design vs fog problem

    My car is parked on a sloped drive way. Noticed in raining days, I will see lots of water starting dripping out when the door is opened. After close inspection, I notice the water run off holes at the end is not cut to the bottom of the door panels. The water accumulates there until the door is...

    For heaven sakes when will that 4th bar drop

    Don't have any recommendation on the dongle. I bought mine 3 years ago from ebay. Since they are cheap and don't know which one is good, I bought 3 different one. One blue short one, one blue long one and one black long dongle is the one you saw. Out of the 3, the long blue dongle failed to work...

    For heaven sakes when will that 4th bar drop

    Agreed with everything he said, except few minor things 1) and park under high heat, under the sun, on the asphalt, etc ... 2) Park inside garage in winter and it will become an extremely expensive 3KW heater. That helps to prevent cold air entering the upstairs living space. If the car failed...

    DIY - Improving battery cooling - active cooling

    I wouldn't open that cover to the cabin, unless some type of filter is in between. If you just wipe the surface of the battery with your finger, you'll see how much black dust accumulated on that. Also when you turn on the AC, the hot air flow through the top of the battery as well and that will...

    PBW SSOFF relay clicks every 5 seconds

    Cliff was correct! Looking at the picture(PG-86, Motor Room Harness) below, it did said E56 and it is the relay for the Electric Shift Control Module(PG-16, Wiring Diagram - BATTERY POWER SUPPLY). However his page numbers on TM seems off with the version I have, i.e. 52 vs 50. Also one time I...

    PBW SSOFF relay clicks every 5 seconds

    Thanks, I think it could be the SSOFF(for VCM) as well, because it was listed together with the F/S CHG relay and other MTR relays. The part number does not even listed in the service manual, wonder how does the Nissan technician cross reference the parts he need? SSOFF Relay...

    PBW SSOFF relay clicks every 5 seconds

    I did have the ELM adapter plugged in at that time, however my phone was not near by and I've been using that adapter for the past couple years. I left the adapter plugged in quite often when I forgot to remove it, but never saw this issue. The only thing I added recently was the Papago GS200...

    PBW SSOFF relay clicks every 5 seconds

    After I parked the car today, I hear a clicking sound under the hood every few seconds. Opened and found the relay marked as "PBW SSOFF" seems to be the one clicked. Any one knows what this is for? Thanks!

    HELP - Leaf Won't accept a charge

    Got the car back with a new OBC, 296A0-3NA8A. Only charge counts(both L1/2 and L3) got reset and the rest of the battery data stay the same, including bars. One thing I noticed, it seems the coolant reservoir has more flow coming back and it makes watering sound. I don't recall I heard that with...

    Leaf not charging for second time

    I have the OBC software update done 2 years back and yesterday the OBC failed while using the Nissan charger. I do 50% charging at work with GE Wattstation though. That means the OBC software update did not address the issue completely. The local dealer called back this afternoon and said a new...

    Turn on Remote AC/charging heats up battery from air flow

    Not sure if anyone notice this, using remote AC while charging can heat up the battery more than 10 degrees greater than ambient temperature. I installed a remote thermometer on my car battery and kind of noticed that earlier, but just didn't look into further. My thermal sensor is attached to...

    Lower control arm replacement on a 2013

    Came back from the dealership, with one controller arm plus alignment barely make it to within the spec. However it has a low humming or periodic drumming sound when running over 42mph and less noticeable when running over 65mph (still hear it at maybe a bit higher pitch). Asked the tech to ride...

    Lower control arm replacement on a 2013

    Yes, I think dealer will do the alignment check for free in their ads, but I have not think of this. Already asked them to do the alignment, but definitely good to ask them on this for sure. Thanks!

    Lower control arm replacement on a 2013

    Thanks! I did ask the dealer to fix just one side first, but just afraid the steering/strut are bent like yours. The left side does not look bent, but it does have sign of scratches at the bottom of the left control arm. I called the nearby dealer and they sell the control arm $30 cheaper for...
