    Hey Prius Gang,

    She's got over 300K miles on 'er, so obviously things get wonky sometimes. Last night, I drove home from work with no problem. This morning, pressing the Power button does absolutely nothing. Nothing at all turns on, with or without the key fob in the slot.

    Anything to check first and foremost here?

    Some time two nights ago, somebody hit the bumper while parallel parking. I didn't see it, but they left a note. Half the bumper was hanging off. I wouldn't necessarily think that sort of thing would affect the electrical, but it is a heck of a coincidence.

    Thanks for any initial leads.

    What is the voltage reading for the 12V battery when measured with a digital multimeter?
