    I'm having same problem. I noticed the electric radiator fan isn't coming on when it doesn't work. Seems like the compressor would try to start and fan try to start instead of electronics not start either (?). I'm at 84k miles so out of warranty..

    When I try to turn on the AC, the fan works, but I can't get cold air unless it's cold outside. And the display above the AC button says "Outside" instead of "AC," no matter what buttons I push. I've tried every combination. The AC button itself lights up with that little green light, but the display doesn't change. I've already had a new condenser and new freon put in, and I just noticed the display today. Somehow the button is no longer connected to whatever makes the AC work. I have a 2010 Prius. Any ideas?

    I am having a similar issue with the 2010 Prius V. The AC button is out, and will not turn green. The dealer said the air conditioner condenser and everything else is working, but the switch that turns on the AC is not working. I stayed there 4 hours waiting to see if they could find out what was wrong, even though he didn't charge me. He came out and told me it would take all day and quoted $290 for the diagnostics when I return.
