Well, the ignition lock cylinder was broken. I had it replaced by a locksmith, who set it up to match my key.
I did this today, and the non-chipped key cut from the key code at the dealer still didn't turn. Looks like I need a locksmith.
Today I was unable to turn the ignition key to start the car. It is not the steering interlock, and no amount of wiggling while turning will get...
12v battery is near new. Battery voltage is 12.88 volts with car off (fresh from commute home), and 13.8 volts when running. No other electrical...
My (2001) headlights are always the dimmest of any car around me on the freeway. Is this a common issue with Prii? Yes, my lenses are clouded,...
There is no issue with access on a 2001. Can't help you with a 2009. I didn't use a slide hammer. I used a large screwdriver and a hammer.
This is a copy/paste from my reply in another thread.... When I replaced my 12v battery in my 2001 a while back, I just went into Autozone with...
If you drive it long enough you will, of course, eventually need to replace the battery. The question is whether you will get enough use out of...
Yep, I am not a stickler for fluid change intervals! I drained it into a clean, white pan, and was amazed that the old fluid looked exactly like...
1st replacement pump at 150k miles, 2nd at 350k miles. Next pump at 500k? 3rd pump installed this weekend. Somehow much easier to bleed this...
OK, I ordered the part and will buy the coolant from the local dealer. When I did this before, I remember having some sort of guide on how to do...
I love how these "high-tech" cars are old enough to be getting the shade tree/sledgehammer/torch treatment. It is starting to sound a lot more...
Awesome. I wonder if the coolant can be shipped. That would get me over the $150.
Thanks. That's one of the places I saw. Do you (or anyone else) have experience with them?
A couple days after I made the 350k update of my 1/3 million thread, I (actually, my wife) got the entire panel of dash lights and the CEL. My...
Hit 350k miles today on the way to work. So now I'm at 7/20 million. Next milestone is 3/8 million (375k)
I drive the car every day, and on many longish trips for my work. I am a firm believer in the idea that once you know you have "a good one," and...
The family got back a couple weeks ago from an epic 3-week road trip (Redlands CA---> Portland OR---> Calgary Alberta---> Glacier NP---> Mount...
Just past 333,333 (miles) on my 2001 this weekend. New traction battery at 286,000. No other major repairs. Still getting about 47 mpg in mixed...
Sounds like someone needs to go into the "rebuilt Prius door lock actuator business." My 2001's door locks are all now essentially manual...
