How to turn off heat?

[kieranmullen]

Ok I suppose it is a stupid question. I have AUTO off and the temp down as far as it will go. It was colder outside than 60 so I can only assume that since the power spiked on the power usage meter for climate control that the heat was on. How can I turn heat off with the fan on even if the air is cold? Or perhaps I did not remember it correctly and that would be impossible and it was in auto thereby kicking the heat on but in manual it would not? thanks!

Because you have a 2012 LEAF you cannot turn off the heat without turning off climate control. This is one of the features Nissan fixed with the 2013.

EVSEupgrade.com used to offer a modified control unit that supported this feature, but they do no more. If you search there is a thread here on MNF that described how you could make the modification yourself (it's complicated).

This thread describes three modifications you can make:
Easy Climate Control Fan-Only Solution - 5 cents, 5 mins
I implemented option #2 myself.
