Hi all,
I put in a refundable deposit $100 Canadian for a Nissan Leaf today
and my dealer says it will be out here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada by
early 2011 but I called Nssan Canada customer service and got a
response that the Leaf will be out in fall 2011. Which is correct? Why
is my dealer taking deposits so early if they don't when the Leaf will
be out. The dealer said, 3 months before the order, they will contact
me and let me decide exactly how what colour, model and extras etc. I
want on the Leaf. The dealer said that Vancouver if not most of
British Columbia will have the shipments delivered at the Vancouver
port and be tested out in Vancouver before Ontario get's it. I was
wondering if I should listen to the customer service rep at Nissan
Canada and have to wait until fall 2011 or if Nissan HQ in Japan had a
change of heart and will be releasing the Leaf throughout North
America in early 2011. I really don't understand why Nissan is not
releasing it in Ontario early as Ontario has a $8500 Canadian tax
rebate for batteries which use up more than 17 kwh and are full 4
wheel electric vehicles (EV).
What really sucks is that the Ontario Conservatives (our equal of the
Saudi loving Bush Republicans though in our case it's the dirty
Alberta tar sands loving kind) who take their orders from the federal
Conservative government whose environment minister (equal to EPA
director) Jim Prentice defends the stinking oil industry might cancel
the rebates. Imagine even a Republican EPA director like Carol Browner
defending the oil industry. It's funny actually, I don't like the
huge tax increases that the current provincial premier (equal to
governor) Dalton McGuinty raised, but much prefer his environmentalism
and emphasis on switching to green technology over the current federal
government and the opposition party of Ontario.

I rarely drive my Stanza more than 4 miles and don't use the AC much.
The other day I'd driven about 6 miles when the AC quit cooling. The
magnetic clutch wasn't engaging.
It took me a day or so to realize that the 20-amp fuse was blown. I
replaced it and, with the engine off in my driveway, heard the clutch
click when I turned on the AC and blower.
When I left the driveway the next day, the fuse blew as soon as I turned
on the AC. I disconnected the wire to the clutch and tried another
fuse. It blew immediately when I turned on the AC.
The next fuse was okay with the radiator fan disconnected. Aha! When
the first fuse blew, it might have been the first time in years that the
fan had been called for. I tried the fan from the battery through an
amp meter. It consistently drew about 9 amps, but the starting surge
was huge.
Now the AC works again, but the radiator fan hasn't yet come on.
I wonder if the fan motor was sticky from years of disuse, and the
starting surge was blowing fuses. Does this happen with electric
motors? Should it be lubed?
A pressure switch, indicating a hot condenser, turns on the fan. If the
fan was blowing the fuse, the pressure switch must have been on even
with the clutch unplugged. Can a system hold high pressure in the
condenser several hours like that? Can the pressure switches get sticky?
