    I replaced the hybrid battery in my 2004 Prius yesterday using a reconditioned battery. Now the car won’t go into gear. I have read through many similar posts online but so far haven’t found a solution. The car does start but that is it. I have no battery or engine codes. When using the Dr Prius app the new battery looks good with good voltage and resistance reading in each module.
    What am I missing? The orange interlock switch on the battery is in place and locked down (I have gone through that one numerous times). The 12v battery is strong and connected well. I feel like I must be missing something? TIA

    'the car does start' means you have the ready light?
    have you double checked all the connectors?

    Are there any warning lights on the dash?
