I have a 2011 LEAF that had a new 24 kWh pack electively installed about 3.5 years ago. I have the service paperwork from the dealer, but there is no warranty info on any of it specific to the new battery, and I combed through my emails from the time and can't find any info there either. I...
Thanks, very good to know. I'll be sure to ask the locksmith if A.) they will work with third party keys and, B.) whether they can source the keys as well, OEM or third party.

Indeed, my thinking exactly.
I live out in the boonies with rodents galore. I do need to do something to eliminate a repeat of this issue. Various rodent countermeasures, if you will. I did have a visible pack rat nest in the motor compartment at one point, but nothing got chewed on. If I...
Excellent info, understood on all your points.
Yes, the car is currently totally functional and passes a shop diag, so I don't think the damaged cabling is (yet) electrically compromised. I need to personally take a close look at it an decide whether I can just repair it in place with some...
Understood, that makes sense based on all the connectors shown on that harness. I was able to get a dealer to tell me the PN this afternoon. They say it is 24014-3NA4A. The two suppliers I linked to earlier do list this part...
Dear LEAF community,
Due to rodent damage, I need to replace the battery harness that is immediately visible when the battery assembly is removed from the car. It runs alongside and under the main disconnect access panel.
