Main Fuse Blows UP

mahen · 01-18-2008, 02:27 AM

I recently imported one NHW20 prius 2004 model. The shipment was delayed around 3 months because all the vessels were fully booked.

When i got delivery of the car, I found that the auxilliary battery was flat so replaced it.

Now I notice that the main fuse blows up every time i start the engine or when I drive lets say a few metres. The HV and Battery warning lights is displayed on the screen

Can some one help?

Thanks for the help. I am located in Mauritius and there is no dealer for Prius Car here. I loved this car, so imported it from Japan myself. The main fuse is 100 A and and as this spare part is not available here so we had to fix it wiht an equivalent fuse and now it is ok all the warning sign have gone. Thx
