Do you have a 2011/2012? (They are weird with the charger behind the
back seat).
If you have a 2013 or newer:
The charge port low voltage lines attaches to the cars wiring harness
under the hood (for the pilot/proximity wires and the LED light (if you
have one) with a small plug.
The L1/L2/N (larger high voltage power wires) connect to the top of the
"motor" stack (The charger/power distribution box/ Power Delivery
Module) with larger bolts.
For a 2011/2012 I could see it being an 8-10 hour process. For a 2013
I'd expect it to take a shop less than 2 hours if they knew what they
were doing, or 4 hours if they were following along with a service
manual and doing it for the first time.
Specifically look at page VC-141 in the Vehicle Charging (vc.pdf) file
for instructions on removing the J1772 charge port.
If you can find a wrecked Leaf in a Pull-a-part junkyard, it would be
MUCH cheaper (and well within the ability of a garage mechanic) to swap
it out yourself (on a 2013+...on a 2011/2012....I'm sure the wire snakes
all over the car and it might be easier just to have the shop do it for
you....

Hey all,
Went out to find my J1772 EVSE melted to my charge port.
Nothing on my Nissanleaf.com, nor YouTube about installing $600 replacement
harness and charge port.
Given that Nissan wants 1200 shop time, I’m curious as to see if that’s a
legit 8-10 hour process. And given the possibility it might happen 8 years from
now, I’d like to do it myself next time.
Ideas?
