My daughter’s 2010 Prius shows no signs of life. Initially my wife had left the headlights on for a long time and drained the battery. We took it to the shop my daughter bought it from and they gave us a temp replacement, they test and checked the the battery and recharged it. Said it was fine. So with a full charged temp loaner battery - No lights, key fobs not working, car won’t start unless I have jumper cables on it.Then all the initial things that light up, operate without starting the car are working and the car starts fine but as soon as I take off the jumpers it dies. If this were any car but an electric I would think I had a dead battery and bad alternator. But the battery is known good. Tried two of them Any help would be greatly appreciated. Seems like a fuse is blown right near the battery’s output feed but I have no idea where that would be or what it would look like. I changed the battery twice so I do know where the battery is. : Thanks Dan
welcome! if the jumpers are on the battery posts, i can only think the 12v is so defective, it is somehow interrupting the inverter flow. if the jumpers are on the jump point, the problem is somewhere in the back. battery/fuse/connections but are we missing a piece of the puzzle? they installed a 12v loaner and it started and ran fine? you drove home fine? the next time it was dead? or it worked for several hours/days/weeks?
No. Drove a different car for the battery loaner. The loaner was fully charged but did not start the car. No lights came on, nothing Thanks Da
No we drove a different car to pick up the loaner. The loaner battery didn’t start the car. Not a single light came on. It’s like the battery wasn’t even vonnected
