Instrument Panel Fuse Box Location:

There is a switch on the driver's armrest that controls the functioning of the window switches on the other three doors. I suggest you check that switch first.

You probably have to remove the trim panel below the steering wheel to access the fuse box there.

 

Hi Patrick
I spent hours looking thru Priuschat and other sites looking for ways to remove the trim panels, finally found a site that discribe how to do it. How can Toyota design it like that, just to get to a fuse? When you look up from underneath the dash, it looks like a box that cannot be access w/o taking the panels apart as you thought. Getting very frustrated, I pried down on the tab in the middle of the long length of the "box" and the cover to the fuses popped off exposing the fuses. Voila- FYI there is a tool to remove fuses located under the hood in the fuse box where one would jump start the car.
Patrick, I have been educated by your knowledge and input on Priuschat.
thanks
Pete

 

Anyone has the layout for the interior fuse ?? my car is missing the fuse cover and layout. i am looking for steering wheel lights. thanks

 

Hope this helps.

 

2008 Prius. Wheel controls for front and rear defrost and recirculate air don't work. Where is fuse(s) for these? Thanks.

 

If the controls for the defrost and recirculate air on the MFD work and not the steering wheel, the fault is likely to be in the "clock spring" in the steering wheel and not fuses.

 

Sounds like the "clock spring" is the cause. Is this something only a mechanic can fix?

 

It can be replaced by anyone but it does depend on your level of ability working on cars.

 

Thank you Patrick! The problem was the window switch on the door.
