    The other day my dash went out. Found out it was actually just that the dimmer decided it was all the way down and so I couldn't see anything. After figuring that out, the climate control is still gone and I can't turn it to eco mode. What is going on?! I'll check fuses for the climate control, but the dash dimmer went to nothing again on me today.

    (I am guessing blind) Your 12 volt battery is about 5 years old. It may be time to check to see if it has 12.5 volts in the morning before you start it. (or evening if you work graves)

    The 12 volt battery powers the computers and it appears your computers are 'odd'.

    Checked the voltage... I'll do it again tomorrow morning, but it was good, cold and running.

    Sorry for the lack of details. Battery is 2012, just like the car. 2012 Prius V five. 28k miles.

    XT1575 ?


    Also, you should probably ignore me. I'm having a bad day and guess what? I accidentally moved the fuse for the A/C when I was trying to check the instrument panel fuse. They're right next to each other. So... All better.
