    Hey guys I'm having a problem with my dash lights not turning on at all when my 10 prius is running. The right side of the dash does not show anything except for the dash lights. Theis happened after my 12v battery discharged.

    Should I be checking fuses? The car drives fine otherwise.

    Something easy to check, make sure the dimmer switch is not turned all the way down...

    no not the battery really but the wire that connects to it from the dash. so everything else stays connected to the battery. check out the video. the hack helped me out.
