Got some bad news about the main display in my 2004 Prius from dealer yesterday. The display unit has been working intermittently as of late and after taking a look at it the dealer said it needed replacing.

Yesterday when I got in the car to do errands the car turned on but neither the MFD nor the main dash display turned on. I was able to get a little bit out of the MFD when I would push the display button, but it would fade and then go off. The main display was completely blank (no speedo, lights, other indicators, nothing), although it would show the turn indicators when I signaled.
When I got where I was going I couldn't turn the car off by pushing the power button, and I couldn't get the trunk open to get the garbage out.
Ok just bought this 2001 Prius One Owner new car trade in it sat for a month without moving It needed a boost to start it then the three lights on the display lighted up PS+Main Batt + a pic of the car with a ! in it ! is it just from sitting so long and the Battery is low ? If I use an OBD and reset it will this and a charge take care of the problem ??
View 3 RepliesI have a 2007 with navigation. The display quit working. My first thought was perhaps a fuse blew. Which fuse I should look at?
View 2 RepliesLike the title says, I was driving into work today and it came on three times. It went off for a little each time and then came back on.
View 13 RepliesNot the usual. I stopped on my way home to get gas tonight when the gauge was showing one pip. Naturally it wasn't low, but I'm used to that.
The odd thing is that after I got in the car and turned it back on the gauge stayed at one pip and the fuel display on the multi-function display didn't reset.
Just returned from a mechanic who tested my 2004 Prius with 134,000. It indicated there is a problem with the main battery. I was trying to avoid the dealer but it looks like it is a must. He suggested I ask the dealer to remove the battery and bring it to a place in Clearwater Florida to have them refurbish it. If I try to trade in this car I won't get anything for it with the engine light on, right? What should I do? I replaced the 12V two months ago.
View 8 RepliesI have worked on several minor to moderate engine issues over the years with various brand cars so I was thinking about replacing my leaking main water pump (not the Hybrid pump).
View 9 RepliesOn my 05 Prius (65K miles) I recently had my local Toyota dealer replace both the inverter water pump (for free per recall) and main engine water pump (~$500 based on their recommendation because of some coolant leakage). 1 week later, I got the P1121 code coming off and on intermittently.
My dealer says that the work they did is not related to P1121.
I have been having an issue which I can't get to understand the millage has gone down and there,' a check light on the main meter i tried the google translator but that only says call the car company...
View 1 RepliesI have a small problem, the dealer that serviced my car just told me that my water pump was leaking and I was low on coolant. I can't remember when was the last time I checked the coolant level but when the dealer top off the coolant, he nearly used the entire bottle. Needless to say, I believe the radiator was pretty low on coolant.
Now I've never noticed a high temperature warning lamp or ever broken down. Today at 125,000 miles, I went to change my spark plugs. The 1st plug to the far left as you are facing the car has oil in the spark plug. This is freaking me out, could my engine be damaged from the low coolant?
My wife and I are driving our 2005 Prius with 130k miles and have experienced some weirdness with the car while driving. We've got the master warning light (red triangle w/ !), and another yellow (!) warning light, plus the center display shows a red car with an !. I've gathered that it means something possibly with the brake controller, so when I parked I put the e-brake on.
The car was driving fine with these lights on (we were in the middle of Canadian highways and couldn't stop anywhere) except that cruise control would not work.
Eventually, it actually went into limp mode, where we would floor the pedal and the car would barely accelerate. Pulled over, turned it off for a few minutes, then back on and it drove fine, warning lights still on.
I just replaced the driver's front wheel hub, and I can hear the passenger front going bad, so I'm suspicious that this may be related. Just replaced the 12v within the last few months with an Optima.
After returning from vacation, I found that one door of my 2007 Prius was left open while we were gone. I tried jumping the car. Long story short, I accidentally reversed the polarity and fried the main fuse block. I just replaced the fuse this last weekend and it's been running fine.
Until today
I drove to work and everything was fine. Then at lunch I got in the card and started it up. The red triangle came on with the exclamation point. Also the VSC light and the orange exclamation point in the Circle with the ( ) around it.
I have a 2004 Grand Prix GT. What all the fuse under the hood labeled Battery Main 4 supplies power to. Both my HVAC fan and the HUD display won't work. What I should start checking.
View 1 RepliesMy prius HUD stopped working suddenly even though everything is ok and my main dashboard and speedometer are working perfectly . The HUD switch light up when I turn it on but nothing on the screen.
View 7 RepliesMy wife on her way home from work called me to say that the MID screen was blank - not working. I asked if she could drive the car, she could, but the energy monitor screen that she has on usually was not coming on. Her concern while driving was that she could not tell how fast she was going.
Fortunately, just a week ago I had installed Scangauge II in her car and had her convert one of existing gauge to MPH. This is a new 2012 Prius IV that is about 2 months old. I'm pretty sure that MID can't be turned off.

Odometer display quit on me. This is the co.pass and temp as well. I have also noticed that when I come to a complete stop and then take off a again, the auto lock feature activates like I had put it in park and then back to drive. Thinking I could have an electrical issue here.
In my 2007 Prius my multi information display didn't come on when I started it up.
View 4 RepliesThe Navigation touch screen does not work. I can still us controls on the steering wheel, bu the touch screen is dead. I am assuming that I just buy and install a new screen? Or could there be something else to trouble shoot?
View 6 RepliesThree intermittent problems with 2012 Prius Two.
1. Backup camera usually doesn't work but sometimes does.
2. Car 3 times has not gone into start when we press brake and power button. All the error lights go on. We keep trying, and eventually, it goes on and the problem does not often recur. The most recent time this was after stopping for a few minutes after hours of driving, so the battery should have been fully charged and everything warm. fter the second problem, the dealer checked it out, said the 12 v battery was fine and couldn't replicate a problem.
3. Just yesterday, with lights and window washers on, only the Ready light, the Gear indicator, and the headlight lamp were on. Everything else on the display was dark. No speed, no gas tank indicator, etc. Turning the headlights off and on fixed the problem for about 5 seconds, and then it recurred. This morning, with no rain and therefore no wipers, there was no problem, with or without the headlights.
My main fan stopped working yesterday, I can't figure out if I need just a new fan or the entire motor assembly. How to diagnose the exact problem....
