Replaced big battery just goes to neutral

Why not? I love to muck around. One has to start somewhere.

 

I believe that if the service plug is pulled ( disconnected ) the car cannot go into ready. 100 Amp fuse blown, that's possible.

 

Unfortunately it appears that our OP disconnected.

 

Too bad this one, would have been fun. Perhaps all the negative advice thwarted him. I dislike people making comments when they have never done the work themselves. This guy was not only brave enough to attempt the work but also to admit how little he knew and to go online seeking advice. Shame on you. If you can't give constructive advice, then leave your comments at home.

 

although, I have gone on to the PIP and Prius C, that site that you attached is really good, the same theory applies to all. thanks much.
