    we have another 2001 prius. our last one we had was in an accident in Massachusetts and was totaled. thank goodness i never dropped a grand into the ac system as that one was bad too.

    anyways, i need an ac relay for this car, and i dont want to spend $60 at toyota dealer for it. does anyone know the auto zone equivalent? as i remember there is a relay we can get for $18 that is essentially the same thing. i've searched and searched these forums with no luck.
    thanks,
    jason

    Huh?

    Could you be a little more specific? Location or part identifier?

    Can you take the bad one into AutoZone and ask the clerk, "Got one of these?"

    I was struggling with this, thinking "I thought the Prius was all DC, no AC" when suddenly it hit me: A/C = Air Conditioning

    I am an idiot.:confused:
