Well LeftieBiker your The Best, Least-Known Tips & Tricks kept me busy reading for hours last night. So many replies! My eyes are now sore from staring at the screen! What a wealth of information, most of which I didn't know and will find very useful. I intend to use the car only in the warm...

Hi LeftieBiker, I did think it unusual that I couldn't get fresh air blown through the vents when I first got the car unless I used the climate control. A switch to turn on the blower without the climate control would be most useful. Because of the limited range with my car I very rarely used...

So Nissan thought about cooling everything but the battery pack. I've topped up the windshield washer a few times but nothing else because they never needed it. Brake fluid looks as clear as When it was new but I suppose it should be changed.

What is 'coolant' used for in my LEAF? I wondered what the liquid filler tank in front of the 12v battery was for. I thought that the cabin heater worked by heating up a resistor but is that resistor residing in a water tank? Here in Sidney, BC the weather doesn't really have very low or very...

Thanks for your input Gerry. Thinking back... my LEAF never gave me more than about 70km on a full charge when using the highway or about 100km when taking back roads. I thought that that was normal. Going uphill or driving at highway speeds caused the range to fall drastically. Right now...

Thanks for the info guys or maybe there are gals posting as well, my apologies if there is... the video is interesting but it looks like it was an expensive project. I hope not to 'fry' anything, especially myself. I'll try to document the job but I don't want to dismantle more than is...

Hi LeftieBiker, Thanks for your concern, it's much appreciated. I am a qualified electronics/electrical tech and also have an experienced friend to help me. He has worked on the LEAF traction battery packs before and is currently converting his ScoobyDoo van with a pack and motor etc. He is also...

Ok, seems that replacing the #79 might make things much better. Should I disconnect my new 12v battery as SageBrush suggests the traction battery might be killing it... until I can change the problem #79 cell/module/battery? Does anyone know where I can find a diagram of the physical location of...

This is the most recent display which I copied from my phone:

Thanks for the 'walktru' jlv, Here are the links, the chart shown on my phone is the most recent, the others were taken in Feb 2021 when I laid the car up until June 2021... I've made the images much smaller c. 640x480 but they still appear very large... sorry.

Here are links to my images on imgur. I haven't worked out if I can display the actual images here yet. Got it now, thanks.

Thanks for the quick responses, what with grandkids and working out how to post images on imagur it's taken me a while to learn stuff. The 12 aux. battery is new. I bought it from the Nissan main dealer. The leafspy readouts and a photo of the car dashboard should show more than I understand...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to any forum posting although I've had my 2012 LEAF for 7 years now. The Japanese made car was originally first sold/leased in Northern Washington, USA. I live in Sidney, BC, Canada which is a 'cool Mediterranean climate'. I've scanned forums for any reports of the strange...
