When I bought the car (used a year ago), I was told that it had the 3G "Disconnected" by the dealer, since it was outdated and no longer needed. I must have a parasitic 12v battery drain going on. I don't have all the measuring tools that was suggest earlier. Could the fact that the horn (when...

All, so I went to Advanced Auto parts store and bought a new 12V battery. However, it too has since gone dead while the car was sitting idle for about a week or so. There must be some sort of 12V battery drain going on, but I have no idea where/how? Of course I was careful to close all doors...

So it is the 12 V battery. I successfully jump started the car and drove it to a charging station. However when I plugged it into the charging station, I guess the 12 V battery was still too low because the car is not accepting a charge now. How do I get the car to accept charge again? Do I have...

Yes the 12V battery has been replaced within the last year or so. I guess it may be close to doing so again if I left a door cracked or dome light on... Again, it's okay to "jump start" a leaf in the standard way you would jump start a regular car, correct? Thanks, -Michael D.

Thank You all. No, it was not plugged in during the time that it has "gone dead..." I don't have a volt meter, but what I will try first is to "jump start" the car via regular jumper cables from my other vehicle. Perhaps I left a door cracked or a dome light on? There is no potential harm in...

My 2011 Nissan Leaf has only been "sitting" for about 4-5 days. However, there is -no- power into or out of the entire car, it wont unlock or begin to start or anything. It had a relatively low SOH and SOC to begin with (I probably had about 15 miles on the GOM only a few days ago). It's...

Gerry, Now that winter months are here, I feel like I will need to switch the adapter back to either "2" or "0", correct? I have noticed that even with my heat temperature setting to maximum (90), I'm not getting warm air out of the system. Please update about this change I may need to make...

Couple of questions Can you park in a consistently shaded area? Yes I try to park in a shaded area most of the time, charging or not. I've always tried to do that even with an ICE car. I think the rapid battery degeneration may be somewhat caused by charging it in direct sunlight in Texas...

Thank You Reddy, in fact it was my timers. Still learning so much about this car! Thanks.

Hello all, So just today my Leaf stopped accepting a charge. I went to 3-4 different ChagrePoint Stations (some of which I"ve used in the past), and with each on,e it didn't work. What was happening is that the car would charge for a split second or so, and then stop charging, and the display...

Two additional questions... So, I lost a bar (8 --> 7) within the span of about 1.5 months, in 100 degree weather, with maybe only 2-3k miles! Since i'm a total noob to the EV world (as of two months ago), I probably wasn't treating the battery right. I will have to go back to the drawing...

Mark, can you tell me how to engage the "energy gauges," I assume this is in the stereo/navigation unit somewhere, but I've never pulled them up. I have a 2011.

Gerry, with a little help from my brother, I FINALLY got the kit installed problem free. And with your suggestions, I left it in Position 1, and I actually did not drill a hole or anything (yet), I just stuffed it down into the compartment where I thought it would be out of the way. I would...

Gerry, Since it's around 100 degrees right now in Austin regularly, I will want to have this set at position 1 for all summer, correct? I am -only- running AC in the car at this time.

Gerry, Assuming I get the heater control switch kit installed soon ( it already arrived in the mail): Before installing, do I need to pre-set the HVAC to a specific setting? After the install, considering its hot here in Austin right now (~100), I will keep the AC on 60 degrees and lowest...
