You're talking about those little nobs on the bottom of the bumper-cover extension? Sorry, those would do nothing! Here's a question. Does the...
The above is one of the reasons the GIII gets better mileage. Keeping in mind the Prius is an "electronic car" more so than any other car and that...
The battery indicator on the dash is for the "traction battery". This one is -fully- disconnected from the car whenever you turn the car off. It...
Much of the plastic you ask about is there to hold the red cover. The red cover is there to prevent users in the US from suing due to electrical...
Like many things in this world if you make hundreds or thousands or more of the same thing, a few will last a long time. How do you get the one that...
Well, AGM or non-AGM would work the same as both are vented to the outside. But it IS an AGM battery in spite of what the OP thinks. He added too...
The "pads" between the plates should -just- be wet. No liquid above them. You are not seeing the plates, just the "pads" or mats. It's an AGM...
It wouldn't cause total loss of braking. Just loss of boost I think.
A much larger loss is normally considered for the differential, typically in the 30% range. The Prius does have a differential. Consider the...
You will be drawing around 70 Amps from the battery/12V system. There is a 100 or 150 Amp fuse in line with the inverter/charger, but if your...
It is predicted to approach 0% in a few years, again, due to "fracking". So I guess you have to decide which is worse, allowing "fracking" or buying...
If you are referring to the ratcheting you can cause them to not release (tighten only) by pulling them all way out then retract to the tightness you...
Yes, where you get your oil is changing rapidly. Mostly due to "fracking" and it's only in the last 5 or so years it's changed. Much to the chagrin...
After sitting for a day or two the voltage was down lower than normal - around 11.8V or so. When started the voltage was higher than normal and...
We know from users experience the 12V battery lasts from about 3 to 5 years. So I had to find out what affects the life and why the variation. I...
I especially love the sentence "Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may be the cause of some trouble." Hmmm. It blows up? ;) My FJ...
Some on here don't realize -most- if not all cars will have a dead battery in about a month if left parked and unused. It's not just the Prius. So...
There is enough output to keep the 12V battery charged (40W at 15V is over 2 Amps), BUT - it uses a switching regulator with poor filtering. Rather...
If you look at my avatar I also don't have wheel covers. They're hanging on the garage wall and I'm pretty sure I can't hear them when I'm driving....
Pearl S measures 26 1/2" front and 26 3/4" rear. This may be affected by tyre pressure. I run 40 PSI front and 38 PSI rear. Try increasing your tyre...
