    My 2007 Prius (not driven last winter) was totally dead (no dashboard lights).
    It's likely that it suffered from a squirrel-gnawing-on-the-wires issue.
    Went to start it - totally dead - no dash lights or MFD at all.

    Discovered 7.5A P-CON fuse was blown. When replacing it it popped immediately (car off).

    Found a short. Replaced the blue wire from the connector at the top of the fuse box to pin-13 of the Transmission Control Unit connector under passenger footwell heater.

    Now car will come on with red triangle and P-Lock warning on MFD.
    Put in a new 12v battery.

    I'm looking to sell it as is. (I very much don't want it to go to junk.)
    Is there anyone in the Cleveland, Ohio area who may be interested?
    Or can you point me to a place?

    Thank you kindly,
    Gregg

    Thank you. How much are you looking to get out of the car?

    A car buying site gave a valuation offer of $2400 (I fairly described the condition).
    I'd rather sell it to an individual. I'd like to get $2000.
