I just got a 2014 LEAF SV to replace my 2013 S, and it has all the bells and whistles - super excited! 8-) :mrgreen: But one thing is strangely missing. The headlight adjustment knob, something I had in the 2011 LEAF SL... (oh, and the "VSP Off" button, but I'm adding that back as I did with...

(SOLD! But keeping the post here for the information about wiring and such. :) ) I have this: http://www.curtmfg.com/part/11396 It's fairly well used, but, as bare metal goes, it's still perfectly fine - just removed it when I swapped for a 2" receiver (this is a 1-1/4"). I got it used...

I was a little stuck between posting this in "technical discussion" forum or the heavier-traffic General forums. This seems to be a topic very relevant to troubleshooting, less about benign technical details. Here, I'll explain how the Leaf's 12V system behaves, and why those of us without 12V...

Odd request, but I've got a lead on adding cruise control back to a 2013-2014 LEAF S, and the hack may involve swapping out the VCM (but hopefully can be done by just reprogramming it, if possible). The VCM is titled "ELECTRIC VEHICLE DRIVE SYSTEM - CONTROL MODULE ASSY-POWER TRAIN" in Nissan's...

I hate that dang thing. :lol: It sucks that the 2013+ LEAFs don't have the VSP Off button. Regulations, whatever. People have eyes - pedestrians and drivers should both be responsible for avoiding one another. Not the job of the vehicle manufacturer. That petite dandelion "ding, ding, ding"...

A LEAF is not a Prius. :lol: Give your rear-view a quick statement about your LEAF. A hybrid still uses gas - an EV does not! After a year-and-a-half of driving electric in a city that knows nothing about EVs, I found that one of the biggest challenges I could tackle is the perception of...

I've searched around a fair bit on these matters, and I think I might be onto something. I live in Fresno, where heat is a big concern for EVs like the Leaf. My 2013 Leaf S usually starts a morning at 6 temp bars, ends on the high end of 7, was even driving around on 8 not too long ago. No fast...

So, this idea started bashing its way through my head last night... couldn't help but try to get it down in the forum and bounce some ideas around here. A Leaf can regenerate charge using the motor controller at exactly the same rate it's also capable of plugging into a super-expensive CHAdeMO...

OK, I'm getting pretty fed up with this, and I wonder if anyone has a clue here. Since September 27th (yes, I have a documented date when this started happening), I've had all my Carwings SMS notifications coming from a different 4-digit number EVERY SINGLE TIME. So, needless to say, my SMS...

Okay, I'm already aware that I have the option to update the maps for a whopping $179+. *choke* Sorry, I don't exactly have that much disposable income. Seriously. I have to save up for that. I drive my Leaf around every day to new locations and new places for on-site work at my job. I start...

Oh my god, I have simple needs. I have a damn simple charging plan that I cannot for the life of me relay to the LEAF. Charge ANY TIME EXCEPT 10am-9pm Monday through Friday. Let that sink in for a moment. Just how simple a schedule that is. It's just a block, weekdays, that I don't want the...

The LEAF site - http://www.nissanusa.com/owners" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - and the LEAF app, both seem to be down. Earlier, before this current error, I got a message about the VHOST not being configured for port 443 - so clearly someone's messing with Apache and swapped in...

Inspired by a "50 MPG" decal I saw on a Prius one day, I decided to set out and create an "Infinite MPG" decal for my car - which is ever so slightly more appropriate for referring to something as "MPG". Because no matter how high some car's rated MPG may be, nothing will ever beat a LEAF at...

I just came up with this on Facebook - every word and every calculation. Thought I should share so it'll last a little longer on the internet. 8-) What is 1W (1 watt)? 1 watt is a tiny LED nightlight. 1 watt is the indicator light on the front of a power strip. 1 watt of power, all hours...

I have a simple plan for my timer. Just follow the peak times. It's not that hard. Charge ANY time except this period of time. In the winter, it's Monday through Friday, 5pm to 8pm. So I have a timer set to "start" at 8pm, "end" at 5pm, with the timer only selected on Monday through Friday -...

http://youtu.be/ZFrvxjjrdVo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Exactly why is the task of Americanizing this amazing Nissan LEAF "Global" commercial being handed off to people that are doing it as a hobby? Seems that the person that made this (very, very well done) "dubbed" version...

Nissan is advertising about 100 times more Altimas than they are LEAFs. They're not even trying. So to fill that gap and get the word out on the streets, I "dreamed" up this very simple campaign last night, half dozing off to sleep. Had to get up and nail it out in Photoshop. The idea is to...

As someone has previously noted on these fine forums... "the Nissan LEAF needs a 'what?' button". :lol: The biggest annoyance in my brand-new LEAF so far (just got it a week ago tomorrow) is the "what are you beeping about?" thing. Seems whenever I turn off the car, it has SOMETHING to whine...
