Combination Meter Still Not Working After Replacement

are you getting the correct voltage to it? sounds like a short somewhere, based on the rodent issue.

how is the 12v health?

 

So then you are to the wiring problem you have to look on the wiring diagram which is in the manual posted here on the site somewhere. And look at the pin out of the plugs that go to the combination meter heads up display and see how many feeds there are to that display I've never looked this information up I got bored with it I changed my meter to a combination meter that came out of a car with 80,000 original miles on it and sometimes after that change my meter will sometimes still not light up when I first press the button and then when I try it again it all lights up. I too think there's a problem in the car in mine and that's my next issue is to look at those big white plugs right under your dash pad that sit on top of the dash that feed the display My guess is that there's two 12 volt feeds and if one of them doesn't make it to the combination meter it doesn't work One signal makes it it won't work they both have to get there or something to that effect is going on I don't really think it's a relay or something like that I think it's something like what I'm talking about it needs to feeds to reach the dash to make the dash light up or something silly like that that's the track I'm thinking anyway

 

This would make way more sense if the problem was still your combination meter. I know you verified the meter you fixed works in a different Prius. But maybe try to see if a combination meter from that different Prius works in this problem Prius? As in maybe it's a combination meter barely not working problem. That would be a way easier resolution than inspecting plugs & wiring harnesses more.

 

With the combo installed, will the car go into READY and drive around ?

If so... when in ready, will the trunk open ?
Or will the trunk only open if the car is NOT in ready ?

 

I have SRS so I can be in ready and if I get out with the remote in my pocket it'll allow me to unlock the trunk or I have to make sure I hit the button before I get out of the car to make sure the trunk is unlocked if I like I'm leaving the remote in the cup holder. But I don't think that was the case in the '04 without SRS I could just hit the unlock button and the trunk would open I believe I didn't spend a lot of time in that car

 

Yeah, I wanted to know what happens when Alex2022 tries it, since he has the issue with the combo meter that works in one car and not in the other.

 

Yeah I've never been able to try to swap with the combo meters because I have an '04 and an '09 car and the meters don't swap they're completely different I do know that I put a combination meter in my car that came out of a car that had about 84,000 mi on it and look brand new when I dismantle the car it was dismantled because it was a salvage title and it had a small dent in the front and had I got there before the two doors were sold on the one side I would have bought the whole car and fixed it it was beautiful this idiot sold two doors off of it for 200 bucks and made the car useless pretty much it had a brand new hybrid battery in it and everything I mean brand new from the dealer while it was 6 months old receipts in the car and everything I wish I could have got to it before the doors were off of it beautiful blue '08

 

Also Alex, what year is the other gen 2 that the combo meter test ok in ?

 

I wish mine was as simple as a rodent chewing a ground wire.

 

Congrats on the repair! Really don't like those thrice-damned little varmints. Have a 2004 in right now where the plastic fuel pressure line got nibbled - got to drop the gas tank some to replace it once the new part gets here .
