My electricity supplier charges based on time of day, so I want to do my charging either on the weekend, or before 1pm, or after 7pm on a weekday. In my leaf, I have set timer 1 to be 7pm to 1pm Monday - Friday, and timer 2 to be 12pm to 12pm Saturday and Sunday. I've been using this for quite...

A friend just had her 12v battery go bad (in her Leaf), and I had to go help her out. I want to have mine checked so that I don't get into the same situation (I have a 2015 and I suspect it's the original battery). I want to be prepared in case they say it needs to be replaced. Does anyone...

OK so I was out driving today and accidentally hit the button on my steering wheel to enable voice-activated stuff in my Leaf.  I never use this, so I'm not familiar with it.  It asked me what I wanted, so I said "CANCEL".  It replied "Navigating to Home".  It then started giving me turn-by...

I made an album on imgur with instructions on how to replace just the rubber refills, instead of the whole wiper "blade". https://imgur.com/gallery/SweGm0N I hope it's OK to link to another site like this. I wanted to be able to make the information available both here and on reddit.

Greetings, fellow Leaflings: I am working on a mod for my steering wheel heater on my 2015 SV. I picked up a "motor controller" on eBay, and want to wire it in to control how much power is delivered to the steering wheel. I started this project ages ago, and I have a memory of seeing a wiring...

I've tried to search for postings on this, but I can't figure out the right thing to search for that doesn't get me massively too many results. I'm frustrated by my 2015 SV's display repeatedly being taken over by messages telling me that I've declined permission for it to communicate with...

I know I saw a posting, surely on this site, with a clever strategy for limiting charging to 80%. It involved setting a timer that went from midnight to midnight, seven days a week. Then somehow that timer was also set to be limited to 80%? To charge to 100%, they would override the timer. I...

I should probably arrange better protection for my EVSE: Yes, that's an icicle hanging from it.

I find that when I use the heated steering wheel on my new-to-me 2015 SV, I am forever turning the wheel heat on and off. It gets uncomfortably hot when just left on. I understand that it's supposed to be thermostatically controlled; I suppose that could be stuck in the "on" position. Has...

Last month, my 2017 Leaf S got totalled. In examining the proposed payoff, I didn't see anything to reflect that I had paid the extra $1700 for the charging package (which I think most S owners did). I dropped by the service department of my local dealer, and they kindly printed me another...

Unfortunately my 2017 S met an untimely demise. I'm shopping for a replacement, looking at 2015 through 2017 models. My understanding is that all S models do not have heat pumps of this era; all SLs do, some SVs do and some don't. If this is wrong, please correct me! Can anyone please tell me...

I've owned my Leaf for a couple of years and just learned about extendmyseat dot com (I'm trying to avoid this being flagged as spam). At 6'2" I don't quite feel the need for an extension, but perhaps others will benefit. I am not associated with that vendor, and have never tried their products.

mynissanleaf.com is serving me ads for fuel injector cleaner.

The other day I was driving home with the radio going, heater blasting, and slush on the road, so I couldn't hear much of anything from the car as I drove. But when I turned into my parking lot and started shutting down the radio and heater, I was surprised to hear a pretty loud hum coming from...

I tried to use my wipers when there was a lot of snow and ice on the windshield. The result was that I could hear the little motor running, but the wipers didn't budge. Once I got the ice cleared off, I found that I could readily move the wipers (they moved together); they weren't held still...

That's the small sound my 2017 Leaf has started to make as I accelerate from a stop, or apply the brakes. It's as if there's some component of the suspension that's slightly loose, and shifts back and forth as the stresses go between positive and negative acceleration. It started out very...

My seven month old 2017 has recently developed a rattle in the driver'a sun visor. Lowering the visor silences it. I'm pretty sure it's the cover on the little mirror on the back of the visor. I suppose I could jam a kleenex in there or something. Would this be covered under warranty?

I've had my leaf since May 2017. I've found that steering it on the highway (which I use going to work every day) is unpleasant. It seems that compared to almost all the other cars I've driven, it has a much stronger tendency to wander around in the lane, requiring constant attention and...

I'm planning on buying and assembling an OpenEVSE unit, mainly because it's the only way I've found to get a long enough cord (35'). I get my choice of NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 plugs, as shown here https://store.openevse.com/products/ac-cable-nema-14-50p-50a. I don't have my outlet installed yet, so...
