There’s no lights on or ready light on the dashboard no check engine light nothing. The car drives okay! Theres no heat or ac coming from the Prius. The battery goes fully green and back to down purple within 45 seconds. I let the car sit for 2 months while this virus was out there. I need options please help.

    Welcome to PriusChat!!

    You have a couple of large ticket repairs, do you have tools and a DIY mind set, or will you be paying someone to fix the known issues?
    Does the above mean you're due for inspection and registration?

    You mentioned the vehicle drives currently, is that correct?

    16 years is a decent run for a 12v battery, what is the voltage currently reading at, and have you thought about replacing it?

    10v is quite low. If you plan on repairing and keeping the vehicle, then replacing the 12v battery would be prudent.
    What kind of options are you looking for?

    Do they install it for me? I want a new battery not rebuilt

    How much would they cost if I wanted a new one.

    Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

    We can’t connect to the server at brakeactuatorsareus.com

    If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:
    • Try again later.
    • Check your network connection.
    • If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

    I would like to know if you can reset and keep driving without fixing the problem

    What’s the different between an 04-05 combination meter and 06-09? Aren’t they all the same since gen 2 is 04-09?

    Can the hybrid Battery be fixed if I were to replaced the one cell?

    Excellent. So you have some time, tools and a can DIY attitude (y)

    http://www.newpriusbatteries.com/ only sells new aftermarket HV battery kits, you or an installer would have to do the install.

    Though possible, not for very long. And if you're lucky one or more of the modules won't explode :whistle:

    04-05 top out at 299k, otherwise the same.

    Yes, but it may take more than a single module and most likely balancing. Will it last as long as a new battery, not even close.

    Do they do installs as well? Where can I get a new fan and regenerative breaking at?

    Best to ask @2k1Toaster (aka Mr NewPriusBatteries) if there is a local installer that can help you.

    Theses guys fix combinations meters and hv battery regeantive breaking and 12v it would fix most of my problems what do u think? I think they can replace the cooling fan as well. I have triple AAA so if needed to tow it up there I can! Prius hybrid repair in Annapolis md I’m in Lexington Park MD. If so I would in after I get a oil change bc I’m super low on oil
