took out my left headlight, prius won't boot

Hello,

Any help is appreciated. Car had sat for a day or three. I took out my left headlight in prep for changing the inverter coolant pump (added note @JC91006: 197,000 mile preventative maintenance).

I popped off the front bumper, and loosened the side bumper, took the headlight assembly out, unplugged it.

Now the car will not boot.

FOB can unlock/lock, hazards work, I can hear the brake pump when i hit the brake pedal, the headlights work, brights work, but nothing else. (a bit fuzzy on the proximity thing... can test more) No lights at all except flashing SKS or "door is ajar".

the rear hatch switch works to open it. however the little black button on the door does not work to lock, not on the hatch nor the driver door.

This was a FOB that never worked inside the dash, only worked wireless thru sks.

12V battery is 12.40 measured from the under hood points and from the rear well.

12v extras: i left my bluetooth obdii reader plugged in, which i have done before. left my dashcam plugged into 12v cigarette lighter, which i have done before (should not draw power in theory).

Disconnected battery for several minutes, reconnected, no change.

Used a jump brick on the underhood points (fuse box, nearby bolt), no effect.

note added jc91006: AM2 fuse is tested 0 0hms with a multimeter

Thanks.

 

thanks. AM2 is tested good on multimeter. replacement is b/c coolant and inverter has never been listed as replaced with 197,000 miles of carfax. ha ha didnt realize how fast i was pushing power, i do have an extra power button somewhere i think.

 

OMgosh thank you
