Friends: 0 | Hello, I am looking at buying a 2001 Prius with 100K miles, I am willing to take a chance on the battery, but I am not sure about the inverter. Would it make sens with these symptoms described below: "When the car was brought from Kingston to Burlington it kept on stalling and needed to be boosted. The driver of the car said that the alternator was shot. But I never thought about the car not having a alternator. We had to boost the car to get it to the tow truck to take to you guy's. So I would think that the 12volt battery that should be replaced." = do you think that only the 12V battery replacement can fix this? = Could it be the inverter? thanks for sharing your experience! |

Friends: 0 | If you have the opportunity to test the 12V side of the physical car, do so; it should jump up closer to 13.8 - 14 once the car comes into READY mode. If it doesn't, then the DC/DC converter [which is part of the inverter] isn't working. Before blaming the inverter, though, check the fuses carefully including any fusible links you can find [often just look like little bits of metal stretched across gaps]. I don't remember offhand what the links look like in a 2001, maybe someone else can point you specifically at the points to check.. . _H* |
