    My 2009 Prius won't start. Pushing the brake and pressing the button and nothing happens. The interior lights flicker and the check engine light flickers and I hear a clicking sound where are the fuses are. I put a battery charger on the front fuse box and charged the battery until it said it was charged but it's still not working. Does anyone know what this could be? A fuse? Some sort of relay?

    Welcome to PriusChat!!

    Did you test the 12v battery voltage before or after charging the battery?

    How old is the 12v battery ?

    Has the vehicle sat unused for any length of time lately ?

    How often do you drive this vehicle ? (example : 15 hours per week)

    A dead 12v battery will show fully charged......for about 5 minutes and it'll die again.
