New Hybrid battery or electrical issue??

The inverter water pump on this car had a dead short which cascaded to cause other problems. It is a common Prius failure, and anyone who has worked on Priuses for a while should have seen this before.

I was hoping for a challenge, but this car was really easy to diagnose/fix. The only reason it took me a couple of days to resolve is I was slammed with other customers that week.

I was surprised that the dealer didn't figure it out, especially since this VIN had an outstanding recall for the inverter water pump! I'm hearing more and more stories of dealer incompetence when it comes to Hybrids. I guess this is good for shops like ours....but bad for Prius owners who live where the dealer is their only option.
