Just saw an episode of this. It is an 11 or 12 as it has turn indicators in front fender.

I agree the little electric pump is a maintenance type item, as it will wear out. However, the price for them is nuts. I suspect it is because there are so few of these cars, but it really is just a 12v pump.

21581-3NA0A is the part I ordered from E-Bay. Price is crazy for it. I noticed that some VW Jettas have 12v waterpumps too, but they cost about $40. The markup on these simple pumps is insane.

That is great, thanks for the confirmation that it works. It is concerning that if that fails, it is half the value of the car potentially. This fix (if diode is issue) really takes the sting out of it.

Here is my experience with it. I replaced it myself, didn't want to deal with dealer. http://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=24152&p=498470&hilit=waterpump#p498149 I doubt it is related to Harvey. The pump I replaced was on top of passenger fender, so relatively high up and protected...

I've experienced this, just as you described. On mine, it is the A/C compressor. When plugged in and cooling the car, the compressor doesn't seem to run steady. It runs making that up and down noise. It sounds like it slows down as pressure builds or something, then jumps back up in tone and...

The DTC that is thrown should show pump 1 for passenger side. You can check by listening to pump to see if it is running. There are 2 pumps, one under 12v battery (pump 2 I believe) and on passenger fender (pump 1).

That is the same part number as the one I replaced. Mine came from jdmpartsman714 on E-Bay. It is now 1300, way more than I paid, I don't know why the price jump. I did see other places online for around 400 which seemed OK. I ordered the E-bay one for faster shipping times. If it is the...

Dave, From what I have heard, water pumps are covered by 3yr/36k miles. Mine went out past the 60 months, so I didn't pursue it at dealer. I posted this thread about my recent waterpump replacement experience: http://mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=24152 It wasn't a terrible job to...

Today I received the waterpump I ordered on E-Bay and installed it. It was a fairly painless install - pump 1 is on passenger fender and is easy to access. I removed as much fluid as I could from the overflow container right above the pump, unscrewed the overflow tank to allow it to move and...

Thanks! I checked out that post and saw he took it to dealer for replacement. I found that pump 1 is on passenger side, and pump 2 is on driver side. Pump 1 is very easily accessible, so I ordered the part yesterday and hope to be installing it this weekend. It looks like a very feasible job...

I just popped the hood and checked to see which pump is making noise. When car first starts up, water pump comes on at normal speed after a few seconds. There are no warning lights on dash at this point. Then about 15 to 20 seconds later, the yellow warning light comes on, and the water pump...

Hello, My 2012 LEAF with 52000 miles on it was parked for 10 days. Upon starting it back up today, the yellow warning lit. The car runs/drives normal, but the one of the water pumps is a little louder than usual. I checked the DTCs on it, and it reports: P31E9 00C0 EV/HEV Water Pump 1...

Hopefully can link to it: http://www.gocomics.com/rubes/2017/03/10

It also constantly recalculates based on driving conditions. For example, a few days ago I drove on the highway most of a charge, then plugged it in for an 80% charge overnight. The GOM read something like 65 miles after charging when I started it the next morning. That morning, I was driving...
