    Got a check hybrid system and car will not start. I disconnected the negative 12 volt and it started up after and got the car home. Now the car will not start up again.

    - ABS system in failsafe mode because my DC motor and accumulator is shot but I've been driving around like this for a while without any issues.

    Im thinking its the inverter pump also. There's a small clicking noise right at the inverter. Is there a fuse for this? There doesn't seem to be any turbalance in the reservoir.

    2007 Hybrid Highlander 211k.

    I think my ABS DC motor is shorting. I checked the 30amp fuse and it's blown. Put in another one and it blew right away. But would this affect the Hybrid system?

    The highlander doesn't have a fuse in the AM2 fuse spot. It has an AM2 fuse spot, but there is not fuse in it. There's also no metal terminal for it.

    I got the 12 volt battery checked and it tested good.

    I pretty much have no clue what the issue could be at this point.

    i guess it is possible, isn't it worth fixing?
