    Been chasing down a problem with warning lights coming on unpredictably on my Prius that seem to indicate a main battery cooling issue. Have taken the fan out and cleaned it and checked it works. I know the air flows over the fan and then out into the luggage area through two fiilters and out of the vents on the rear seat. But where is the air inlet so I can check that hasn’t got blocked?

    Isn't it on the side of the right rear seat. Should be a rectangular grill sitting right there as you open the door.
