    Is it possible to manually start up your Prius? My car has a push start and doesn’t want to start up. My auxiliary battery is good, and hybrid battery is good but it just doesn’t want to start. I left it at my mechanics and it hasn’t started in 2 weeks. My brakes need to be replaced but I don’t want to put money in it until I know it can start. 2005 Prius

    You cannot manually start the Prius. Start by finding out what DTC have been logged by the various ECUs.

    if you're not getting any dash lights, and the 12v battery measures at least 12.5 volts at rest, you probably have a loose connection. check both battery terminals for tightness and corrosion, and the negative to ground connection.
