Separate names with a comma.
This is why it pays to fix the small stuff, and this is small stuff, oneself on an older Prius. If one already has the jacks and basic tools...
Today I visited a local independent battery shop to see if they had a S46B24R battery. Always good to support small local merchants. My son...
Not complicated but mighty inconvenient. Wiggling that odd shaped object out and back in past all the obstacles was a PITA. On the positive...
Looks like those are wired in series to produce a 108 Ohm load. The battery is around 200V so roughly 2A and 400W. Not so easy to do that with a...
Well, I do have thick neoprene gloves that would be relatively safe to open the valve. But what I don't have is a lift and a big funnel on a tube...
Let's say one wants to change the coolant on a 2nd generation which was driven the night before. The majority of the coolant is at (or maybe...
Could you post a picture of one of these? Also another picture showing how they are mounted. Hopefully to a heat sink, but in some designs they...
Now that I have observed that 2 out of 2 impedance testers were useless for making battery capacity measurements I have found numerous other web...
Here is the discharge plot. This is the discharge curve, which looks nothing like one from a healthy lead acid battery. The two points after...
Maybe try another mechanic? Canyon Lake and vicinity may not have the biggest selection. Riverside and San Bernardino will have more, and they...
Does it make that noise if the fan is run and the heat isn't on? If not, it might be air in the heater core rather than the blower itself. I...
On the plus side, once it is restored you will almost certainly have bragging rights for the lowest mileage working 2nd generation Prius. On the...
Ah, I see the problem. I'm using Firefox with tabs and the "belt" part is beyond the truncation point which is after "OEM". I can see it if the...
The word "belt" wasn't present when I looked just now. "USA OEM Remanufactured" could mean "OEM (compressor) remanufactured in USA", but I agree...
Recently I bought a DLT150 configurable electronic load and after charging the battery fully and letting it rest overnight discharged it for 2...
Yes, finally! Metal spacers are the way to go in this situation. Earlier in the thread there is a shot of the hold down floating in the air...
Three more minor points: 1. When the fill starts it is OK if there is a continuous air bubble from the valve back up into the tube, as long as...
Never tried it but did propose it: Refill ICE coolant loop through drain valve under thermos? | PriusChat Sounds like it worked well. Thanks...
With the car off start at the battery and measure the voltage between the two posts. It was 12.6 V at least once. Now start moving one probe or...
Charger yes, high amp no. At least some of the 12V batteries have a sticker that says not to charge them at more than 4.x volts. (I don't recall...
