Hi,
My car: Nissan Leaf, left side driving. 2014 mod, 2gen. (Registered 2013). Heatpump, Bose sound system, Black leather interior.
I am currently ripping apart my Leaf in order to replace the PTC heater. Plan is to be done during tomorrow.
1. Service Plug (SOLVED)
Currently I am stuck on removing the service plug. Picture attached shows the Service Plug. I am afraid of breaking something, so please provide me with a step by step procedure for operating it until it is has come off.
2. PTC heater replacement
The connectors for the PTC heater are on the passenger side. It appears the instrument panel (dashboard) on that side is one big piece (!). It seems impossible to extract the faulty PTC heater rightwards without removing most of the dashboard. Two qeustions:
a. Is it possible to dimantlte the PTC heater, separating the couplingsarea from the heater ribbons, and slide the heater ribbons in from the driver side (left to right) - and then press on the couplings from the right side after "jinxing" in it behind the dashboard plastic?
3. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could provide me with the service manual for the 2gen with PTC heater inside the cabin?
Thank you in advance,
Norway,
