    Please Help. My Prius isn't doing anything. The Dash doesn't come on neither does the multifunction touch display. Car Wont start. I know its not the 12V battery because my headlights are bright and doors unlock with the key fob. Any Ideas where I should start?

    1. Odometer reading?
    2. When was the last time that the car could be started and driven?
    3. What long-term problems (if any) did the car have which you ignored up to now?
    4. How much fuel is in the tank?
    5. Let's start with something simple: Do the interior cabin lights work?

    Yes. Despite the evidence, start by testing the voltage of the 12 V battery.

    (Sometimes I wonder if @bisco is some sort of random phrase generator run by @Danny -- most advice is spot-on, but sometimes...:confused:)

    He has a rather unique sense of humor which pops up from time to time.

    And I'm pretty sure that Danny isn't with us anymore......at least not on the forum.

    We thanks for the BS. Anyway I found the Issue. The 12V Water pump for the inverter went out. This lead to the failure of the Inverter pack.
    New Pump $43. Crash recovered inverter from Ebay $150.00
