    hi guys,
    I have a 2006 Prius hybrid that will not start. A few days ago I was driving in a storm, parked my car for an hour and when it was time to leave the car wouldn't start. The interior light, power locks, brake lights Ann hazard lights all work. No dash lights or radio come on. I had two friends with two different cars try to jump the front and back battery and still nothing. Somebody PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    blown fuse?

    do you have sks? when you touch the door handle, does it unlock?

    what happens when you push the power button? maybe the fob died altogether.

    how many miles on her? i'm surprised you're not getting any warning lights. may have to check for trouble codes. could be hybrid battery.

    My dad checked and said all the fuses looked good

    My fob broke awhile back so now I stick the fob in the slot to start the car

    When I stick the fob in, the car beeps like the key is in, but when I hit the brake and then the power button, the car sounds like its going to start but it doesnt

    Had my dad bring over his diagnostic test machine to see if he could get a code and because no power it wont even giv a code, and not sure exactly how many miles but I know shes got alot :(

    Have someone check the rear brake lights when you step on the brake pedal, do they illuminate? Could be a bad brake switch sensor. The car won't start if the ECU doesn't sense that the brake pedal is being pressed down.
