    I've trolled as many threads as I can and haven't found an exact match to my problem. My 2006 Prius had a severed ABS sensor cable from me kicking snow/ice out of the rear left wheel well. I then has the ((!)) VSC and ABS and E brake lights go on. Then, my radio quit, then the clock, nav, interior lights and finally the entire MFD. It wasn't an obvious fuse as I checked them with an ohmmeter and even replaced the ACC and Dome even though they checked out ok. Disconnected the negative terminal for a reset and nothing changed. Checked the battery output with a multimeter and it was fine. Finally, brought it to the dealer and they found the bad cable and bad steering angle sensor. Now, the warning lights are gone, dome lights work but the mirrors, clock, MFD and the lights for the Park and Power button are out. Could this be a cold soaked IG1 relay? The headlights are fine and the car starts on the first push of the button. I don't want to spend more at the dealer for diagnostics if I can help it.

    My 2005 has the same MFD, mirrors and clock out. Unhooked radio and the fuse works - MFD and mirrors back. Going to get radio tested today to see if jammed CD or something my 2 year old did is creating the short. Will reply back.

    Bought a new MFD multifunction display on ebay for no reason. ):

    I did this as well w the same results

    Sadly after testing no power to radio/dome/clock

    I do have power mirrors and door recognizes being open/closed as I was able to program a transponder key for an second fob.
    I have no smart key functionality-
    awaiting my TechStream PC and also- repairing CM this weekend.....to eliminate some issues.

    Strangely it resets ODO every on/off cycle of car.....
