    had some body work done on the 2010 Prius (IV) front end. When we got it back, eventually found that the front turn signals aren't working. Shop is closed till Monday. I am guessing they forgot to reconnect some electrical connector. Anyone know which one it's likely to be, and where? Neither signal lights. Rear signals work, dash indicators work, although blinking double time. Headlights, parking lights, etc. work, it just seems to be the turn signals.
    And the side mirror controls ...

    If it's the same as the 2012+ front end, there's a connector for the turn signal lights in the lower driver's side behind the bumper cover. Under the car, pop out the push pin at the outside corner by the wheel well and unscrew the screw at the front corner of that panel with a Philips head screwdriver or 10mm wrench. Pull that panel down and you should be able to see the connector if you look from the front corner toward the inside. Your rear turns are hyperflashing because the fronts are disconnected and there isn't enough resistance in the circuit.
