    Tire inflator access cover part number 2022 SL+

    Same here! But mine is a 2020 SL+ I imagine the part number is the same. From a photo in another person’s post, it looks like the part number might be 84959 3NLOA or 84959 3NFOA But a Google search doesn’t yield much on those part numbers. Did you find a replacement part yourself? Does anyone...

    Replacing 12V Battery with LiFePO4 (Video)

    Replacing 12V Battery with LiFePO4 (Video)

    gibacca, did you ever find a battery fitting those specs? I live in Chicago, currently -10F. I'm debating AGM vs. self-heating LiFePO and it's hard to find either at all let alone at reasonable prices. I love the discussion on this thread, but there are so many unique needs out there, the...

    Old charger not working on new Leaf

    You did it! Thank you so much! Setting that adjustable amperage switch to 3 is working! The switch was oddly set to 4, so I do not know what happened there except maybe the electrician meant to turn it to 3 and didn’t make it? Who knows! Also that dial doesn’t click at each number, it just...

    Old charger not working on new Leaf

    Greetings all! I recently replaced my OG 2011 Nissan leaf with a 2020 SL plus a few days ago. The charger I had installed originally back in 2012 was an SPX EL-50600 charger that worked flawlessly all these years. I believe this is the same as the Bosch EL-50600 which looks identical and has...

    replacement radio volume buttons 28395-3NA1B

    Has anyone undertaken replacing the "audio switch"/"radio knob" (FM-AM/XM/CD-AUX/Volume UP-DOWN/power button) part 28395-3NA1B? My volume buttons are worn to pieces on my 2011, and I can get the part for an acceptable price on eBay, but don't know how extensive the work is to switch it out.

    Worn interior fabric repair

    Ok, well this is embarrassing, but we are all friends, here right? Turns out the fabric was not worn smooth, it was just dirty and matted down and needed a good cleaning (this is my wife's care, btw). I used some carpet shampoo on the upholstery and it's good as new. Reminds me of my friend who...

    Colorbond for worn steering wheel repair

    Has anyone used Colorbond to repair their worn leather steering wheel? i've heard reports of good results from other automotive forums and am willing to give it a try. I'm trying to find a match for the color on the steering wheel of the light gray interior of my 2011 SL, but all the Colorbond...

    Worn interior fabric repair

    Anyone know a good way to fix the worn appearance of interior fabric on armrests, headrest, and center console areas? 2011 leaf with light colored fabric now is dark gray from wear and pressure in those areas only.

    Climate Control and AUTO Mode Guide

    "AUTO fan will be off initially if heat is needed because the car is waiting for the electric heater to warm." My 2011 Leaf doesn't do this. When it is 30 degrees F outside and I turn on the heat via Auto with temp set to 70 while driving, it immediately starts blasting cold air from the floor...
