In this amplified audio, it sounds exactly like the clacking of vintage windshield wipers. 2004 model, 140,000 miles. No check-engine light, no...
The sound emanates approximately from the area of the coolant storage tank (driver's side, behind the front bumper), though I doubt the tank or...
Bruce, could you tell us exactly which buttons, and exactly what you mean by 'getting real lazy'? On my 2004 Prius, this was the symptom: Four of...
I put the soldering iron to it, and as I suspected, burned a hole in the plastic ribbon. I've ordered a new replacement part on Ebay for $57. I...

This is too late to help you, but . . . my clockspring is marked "5 turns" on the housing. And indeed I can get five full rotations, no more,...
Thanks, John. I considered solder, but melting a hole in the plastic ribbon might be unavoidable consequence. And I'm too miserly to buy...

<<Can you repair my MFD for $75? The touchscreen stopped working for no reason. I live in SoCal. I graduated from UC Berkeley -- do you study...
It wasn't too hard for me to reflow the solder joints at pins 58 and 60 when my 2004 MFD failed in the usual way. I posted some details today at...

The 12v battery has a nonstandard terminal post diameter. Rather than buy a battery from the dealer or use a retrofit adapter, I used a hacksaw...
Sorry, that's: techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/mfd/
There is usually one broken soldered connection inside the MED unit. Your choices are (1) to take the unit apart and resolder terminal #60 on the...
