    Hi !
    I need HELP ASAP

    I have a Toyota Prius Tspirit 2005 UK model. The problem with the car is that’s not starting. I check the 12v battery is full charged. All the fuses are ok ,locking and unlocking the doors with the remote is working,head lights and door lights are working, but there is NO dash light. Wen I’m introducing the key fob on key slot and press the power button on only the engine light is flashing on dashboard but not starting. I jump the car but still not starting on. I have changed the 12v battery to a new one . Also the tank is almost full.
    What can be the problem?

    You might just have a failed combination meter, where the dash lights don't light up.

    Try switching on your headlights and then starting the car, that often can momentarily bypass the failure.

    not sure how you removed and checked.....but ok

    then you should check the fuse in the engine compartment labeled AM2. If that's blown, your car won't start.
