Separate names with a comma.
(Why do people let their cars sit around like that?) Probably one or both are now flat. Try a simple jump start to the 12V battery: if that...
That 12V battery is near death. Replace it immediately, before you get stuck somewhere. Then, if you are lucky, the combination meter weirdness...
The new "pencil post" Optima has the right size posts, no adapter kit is needed. A dealer should install a new Toyota battery for about $200.
Why eat the loss? Drive it until it falls apart; while doing that, save up towards a replacement. (Don't ever borrow money to buy a new car.)
I have to wonder how many people would buy a Prius with a battery that had been rebuilt by someone who had never done it before. Would they pay...
It is common when replacing the pump to not get all the air out of the loop; the dealer who did mine needed to re-do it, and we've read of...
Who the hell expects to get four hundred thousand miles from *any* car? But there's probably as good a chance of it with a Prius as with any other.
You figured out the first two answers :_> For the third see here: Generation 1 Prius Discussion - PriusChat Forums
Extended warranties make no economic sense. You will almost certainly never get back as much as half of what you spend on it, and most likely...
Google and Wikipedia are your friends. There's nothing cold fusion-y about thorium: it works, it's hard to weaponize, it creates less waste than...
Only if it turns into a capacitor :_> 14V is within the range of charging voltages for a lead-acid battery. If you measure 14V on a lead-acid...
Just to be completely clear: you set your voltmeter to "volts", touch the meter leads to the battery terminals, and it reads zero volts?
They suck! Toyota should buy the design used on the Honda Civic, which works much better.
Why do European makers do this? Do American distributors and dealers take such a huge profit that factory delivery increases the maker's profit?...
A small rolled-up towel does the trick for me. No problems from eight-hour drives. One other possible contributor if you carry a wallet in a...
Pay a Prius technician (usually at a Toyota dealer, but there are independents) to completely check out the car before you buy it. If a dealer is...
And if it doesn't he'll pay for the tow :_>
14V would be normal with the car ON (in Ready, as though you were going to drive it). If you see 14V on the battery with the car OFF and no...
If you haven't noticed any problem and the dealer cannot show you trouble codes then this is almost certainly a boat payment for the dealer....
Here's the E-Z no-tools do-it-yourself check of the 12V battery:...
