    OK gang...hope you can help on this one...

    A deer whacked my car, and I had to get body work done on the Prius...I get it back, and they must have pulled the battery, since the clock was wrong, no radio stations programmed, etc...I get into the car this morning, and I notice that the inside light does not come on automatically...I click the switch and it works...anyone have any idea what to do?...

    Take a look in your owner's manual - one of the buttons or switches on the panel that controls the inside lights can be set to control whether the inside lights come on automatically or not (I think it's the switch in the center of that panel). I've never seen that 'option' on any other car I've had, but the Prius has that. (The salesman showing me the car just before I drove it off the lot showed me that option, and I haven't touched it in the 16 months I've owned the car). Someone may have changed it while your car was in the shop.
