    MY LEAF DOES NOT RECOGNIZE OBDII CODE READERS

    Had a bad experience with my 2018 Leaf. I bought an OBDII scanner on Ebay soon after getting my 2018 SL Leaf. I used it for a bit in the first month and put it aside. Six months later I got an error message show up saying SERVICE EV SYSTEM and a whole bunch of other malfunction lights came on...

    2018 LEAF Horn Upgrade DIY

    Honked for a period of 6-7 seconds and still working. Sounded solid and the fuse held up fine. My only beef is the awful sounding (very low, muffled and anemic) remote door lock beep/honk/ confirmation. Again, I suspect the locking process does not provide or trigger enough power for a proper...

    2018 LEAF Horn Upgrade DIY

    Good point. But If it's indeed too much, I suppose the fuse will blow, and then what would be a solution? Replace the fuse with a 15A or 20A one? Thanks!

    2018 LEAF Horn Upgrade DIY

    Had some time this afternoon and I did it! It all came together nicely, but I must say that the stock horn connectors are in the worst possible location. It took me forever and scratches to both my arms to connect the new wiring to both its connectors, especially the positive one. But I was...

    2018 LEAF Horn Upgrade DIY

    Cool, thanks! I decided to take upon myself to do it this long Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. I found a perfect spot for the 2-tone horns, facing front, attached to the top crossbar, using a T bracket and each horn's tab, forming a sideways " H ". I will post some photos. An image is worth a...

    Swop Reverse and Drive Positions on the Stick Shift

    Streiger, sorry to hear about your crash. My wife and I also have an issue with the gear positions. I often get it wrong and engage D when I want R and vice versa. Frustrating! I recently had the opportunity to test drive Jaguar's new i-Pace, EV. Amazing! And guess what, it has buttons instead...

    2018 LEAF Horn Upgrade DIY

    Thanks for your responses. I’m in Canada, so not sure if laws differ vs the US. What I can tell you, though, is that the Nissan rep pointed me to the exact spot in the warranty booklet which states that any modification will void the warranty. That’s Nissan covering their ass. So for them it’s a...

    2018 LEAF Horn Upgrade DIY

    Hi all, this is my first post here. Just picked up my 2018 SL a month ago and I LOVE it! Except for the absurdly low horn. My mountain bike has an air horn that is tenfold louder than the Leaf’s! I already had multiple close callls in which I honked hard to avoid accidents and the othe drivers...
