    Is there a Haynes or Chilton's Repair Manual (or equivalent) for my 2017 Prius Prime Advanced?

    I don't know if they make them anymore? But PriusChat is way better than that. We can walk you through any repair and folks like @SFO and others sometimes post sections of Toyota's repair manual upon request.

    Best way to find all the repair info you need is to go to Google and type "priuschat <description of problem>" and start reading all the links.

    Sometimes you have to pay to play. Want the best info, go straight to the source.

    ... they'll often cost themselves n times the subscription price in useless or harmful things they did when "elsewhere" for them wasn't the real manual and didn't tell them the right stuff.

    At least waiting around for somebody to paste from the real manual gets you the real info, eventually, if somebody pastes it. Then you've only lost the time you were waiting and the opportunities you missed while you were waiting and the car didn't work.

    I recently downloaded most of the info (New Car Features, Electrical Wiring Diagrams, some of the Repair Manual, etc.) for my Venza for the $25 - Two Day fee. If you sign up early in the morning, your subscription won't end until the end of the third day. I still need to go back and finish downliading the rest of the Repair Manual. Another $25 = $50 well spent.

    BTW, I am using an iMac. I downloaded the MS Edge browser to download the files. I select each file and then print it to PDF. Gives my fingers a workout, but it works just fine.

    Leading the witness?

    I used to pick up the Honda tome, whenever we acquired a new one, about the thickness of a metro Vancouver phone book (remember thoseā€¦), just to get familiar with stuff.

    Now both of those are long gone.

    I like my auto repair instructions in the same way I like my politics, as misleading and misguided and argued over as much as possible because it makes me think more critically/objectively. :)
