    My Prius would not start at all ( getting off from work last night. ) All kinds of flashing/blinking lights on the dashboard. Even the door locks won't work. I'll be calling my dealer first thing this morning. Any ideas?

    I went through something similar when my 12v battery died. I had accidently left one of the interior lights on over night. Then the car acted wierd. would not start... but lights did come on the dash briefly. Let us know what it turned out to be.

    Yup, it's the 12v battery. If it's been completely drained, you probably will have to replace it. The battery is not very robust.
