    A/C tip:
    Provided the system is still charged and the compressor is not shot look to see If the A/C clutch is failing to engage. There is an easy fix to get it going again. Remove the clutch center bolt (may have to hold the pulley with vice grips) and remove the spacer washer, then reassemble. This will allow the clutch to re-engage.
    Has worked on 2 Prius I have owned.

    Is there an A/C clutch on a Gen 2?
