    I need help please. My Prius was working fine but yesterday when I went to start it, there was no power to the Power button. I thought it might be 12v battery so I took the battery to have it checked and it was working fine. Next I checked all the fuses under the hood and under the dash. No fuse blown out. When I open the door the car has the regular beep sound but I also hear a click sound from the fuse box under the hood and when I close the door I hear that click again. Not sure if its a bad relay or what. I'm a bit lost, can't take it to the dealership as it won't start and don't want to have it towed and later find out it was a small fix and end up paying for towing. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If you can, check the fuses for continuity to make sure they actually are good, and don't just look good.

    Have you tried putting the key into the slot? ive had keys stop working wireless but when I put the key into the slot on the dash it works.

    Also try second key both ways. maybe key got messed up. unlocking the door with buttong is totally different then chip starting the car.

    Other times I had to remove the key from my pocket in order for it to see the key.
