just hit the phone button type in the number a button will highlight that says add to speed dial

are mechanically inclined at all often time when i see a prius come in with the same problem the wire is starting to slide out the back of the harness or bulb socket just push it back in some times it clicks sometimes it doesnt but still pushing it back in resolves either way at 9 times out of ten

i had the same problem with a palm 700wx and the new pre try using 1111 as the code it worked for me

I have an 04 prius that had same problem on passenger side...put in a new Philipps bulb I bought on ebay, still flickered...turned out to be the contacts on the D2R ignitor cable (the cable that plugs into the back of the bulb). They were noticeably burnt/oxidized. I cleaned them up with a small grinding attachment on a dremel tool. Worked like a charm, no more problems.

well i had that problem as well. it turns out that one of my friends had a key fab the thing with the buttons that was simmial to mine apparently and made mine go off if we had cars near eachothers. but it could also be animals like stray cats could be hopping onto your car randfomely for no reason. ive seen it.

ck fuse if not,, switch is bad

your car is a hybrid and has a regeneration system which uses braking to drive mg2 which is recharging the battery.

You need to have the codes read.

Yes dim the light panel. Their should be a small knob somewhere on the dash on the left of the steering wheel that you turn to increase or decrease the brightness of the instrument panel.

Try Ebay?

The Auxilery battery is your problem. If you leave the door ajar, the battery will drain out. The Aux battery is quite small, and it is locted in the rear cargo area. We have found that once the Aux battery goes low, it is best to replace it. If the car is under 35K miles, it is still under the factory warranty. In any case, I would replace the Aux battery.

hi pam from the uk ! the reverse signal/beep can be disconnected however there are different methods of how the beep is operated ? in uk some cars have the reverse light bulbs that are also a beep sounder when reverse engaged ? orthe sounder may be a seperate sounder unit at the rear located either in boot? or behind rear fender? or as you mention beep sounds inside boot area?? the sounder may be hidden behind one of the side panels in boot? if you put ignition on and select reverse then try finding beep location? if/when you find it? just disconnect wirefrom sounder and make sure reverse light/s still remain on tape up the wire disconnected out of way? if it is the bulbs that bleep? you will have to remove and fit an ordinary type bulb usually a flasher/ indicator bulb? hope this is of help and inspires you to diy ? best wishes

Sorry, at this moment, there is no "backup" tool to retrieve & store data input to the Nav Unit. I could have used such a tool 4 times now, and still am waiting for the Toyota Engineers to come up with it.

As far as I know, both my original 2005 and my current 2007 flash that light when the car is off. I believe that is the whole point - to show any would-be thief that the car may be "protected." A small battery can flash an LED light for weeks or months or even longer, so I wouldn't worry about the blinking LED draining your Prius' 12V battery.

check the oil for colour... is it gray ?

other solution may be that the catalytic converter is plugged

Please try again with a complete sentence.

as always, check fuses first. then scan this car, it will show, mode motor errors. huh? those are damper. in the heater box. there are 2 fail points (besides wires) the control is bad, or the damper is failing. The FSM covers this 100% or at alldata.com what tech does is makes sure the control sends the signal the damper (there are 3 types used on all cars) if its damper motor , the FSM shows the damper tests. which are unique to Toyota. and a spec, year, 2006. the mode damper is failing. the only question is why, the answer is simple tests. detailed in all FSM of all cars made. here ill look your up to see which of the 3 type class it is. your car has a ACC brain, a/c controller, this controller runs the show. it gets your inputs from the defrost switch and then sends signals to the mode motor. FSM quote Air Vent Mode Control Servo Motor ControlWhen the mode select SW is pushed, the ECU in the A/C control assembly activates the air vent mode control servo motor. The servo motor rotates to the position (FACE, BI-LEVEL, FOOT, FOOT/DEF, DEF) selected by using the mode select SW, and moves the damper. In auto mode, A/C control assembly controls the damper to move to the best position for the conditions without operating the mode select SW. I SAY SCAN iT using any scan tool that suports full Toyota. full scans including extended factory codes.. i say buy one. here is one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QIUGVI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 owning complex cars, and DIY, you need a real scan tool or just guess.

I'm showing 17 bolts to 20 ft. lbs of torque.
