    My first post here. I inherited my 2014 Prius plug in from my mom. I haven’t had it that long and it’s my daily driver. I have recently noticed either mouse or rat activity and I need to be talked off a ledge. Every few days it seems a new light comes on on my dash. The other problem is that the AC smells not great (like rodent pee). I need to take this car apart as best I can to find where they were active. This is my first Toyota. Prior to this I had a bmw, so I know that car very well. There was a website for BMWs that had a very detailed map of the car based on the system you were working on. Does Toyota have this? I think the first thing I will tackle is the venting. I’ve changed the cabin filter before, but I need to open it up more. The smell is really bad.
