Not long after I got the Prius, there's a rattle in the console mounted into the head liner. If I press on it, the rattle shifts. Sounds like the wire that feeds power to the lights is probably smacking against the roof of the car.
View 3 RepliesOn my 2004 5.4 I have removed my right cylinder head for replacement. There is a sensor on this head beneath the intake manifold. When removing the sensor I turned the plastic connector about 1/4 turn or less prior to turning the actual sensor. What sensor is this and would I have broken it by this mistake? It did not make a sound, it just turned a little on the base of the sensor.

View 3 RepliesMy 2010 SE has a rattle in the lid of the console that DRIVES ME CRAZY! If I rest my arm on it, it stops. Apparently the gap between the catch is too great. What did you do to solve? We're getting ready to drive to FL., and a trip that far will...
View 2 RepliesOur '88 S10 is having sagging head liner problems. It appears that the cloth is separating from the structure underneath it, allowing it to droop and even touch our heads. Is there a way to fix this back to the way it normally was? Does it require any special tools to remove it? or is it better to just find a replacement?
View 1 RepliesMy Scangauge is mounted on the dash just above the steering wheel. My last car, a Subaru Impreza had lots of room on the steering column. On the 2010 Prius it's very difficult to see when mounted there.
Cold weather is setting in and the glue on the velcro is starting to give out and the Gauge will soon fall. Where are you mounting them? How are you getting them to stick?
1) How to get the inner liner for the front roof console (cubby and sunglass holder only no comp) out? I am planning on adding a couple of switches up there and need to clearance it in a couple of spots.
2) Is the wiring on the stock radio the same colors as the wiring harness on the vehicle side? Looking at changing out for a touchscreen (for rear cameras and bluetooth for my phone) and the one I am looking at needs to be wired in, and was looking at just cutting the plug off the radio and wiring to that instead of cutting into the harness on the truck side.
How to remove the console center right under the radio head unit. I could not find any screws. But it did not pop out if I pull it.
View 2 RepliesI just bought my prius and I don't even have a hundred miles and I noticed the center console gets dirty quick.
View 1 RepliesI had to remove/repair my hood latch (cable broke) on my 2008. There is a 2-wire sensor or similar device mounted to the latch. what is its purpose? I broke the wires to it - yet see no evidence that any system ceased to work as a result. I want to make sure it isn't something critical.
View 7 RepliesWhen I turned the AC on, I get water leak inside. The water dripped from inside of the center console where shifter sits right above.
The water sift into the driver carpet area and front passenger area. If I don't take up the mat, the inside smell like mildew.
I took the car to the dealer and they said the drainer is clogged by the leaves and the water from the AC gets back up into the cabin.
Our 2010's NAV head has recently begun throwing fits. Sometimes it's hard to get it into route planning mode via the touch panel. But, what's more prevalent is when the "hard" buttons are pressed the unit does other things, most often, for example, is that the "map" or other hard button is pressed and instead of the screen going where it's supposed to it'll switch radio stations.
Nothing foreign has been spilled, stuffed, or crammed into it. The car is garaged. Any way to do a hard reset?

View 2 RepliesMy 2010 II has two power sockets, one under the radio, and another inside the center console. The center console one does not work, whereas the other one does. I checked both the fuses, and even swapped the two fuses. I also checked several other fuses just to be sure. No fuses are blown and nothing changes by swapping the 2 power port fuses.
View 8 RepliesThe cigarette lighter adapter inside the center console of my 2010 Prius (next to the USB/iPod and AUX plugs) does not appear to be working, although the adapter underneath the gear shifter works fine. A few weeks ago, I found some coins, which I keep inside that center console that had gotten wedged inside the cigarette lighter adapter cavity. It was after removal of those coins that I first learned that the adapter was not working (I tried a few different devices to make sure that it was the adapter itself not working).
From reading the web, it sounds like the fix may be as simple as replacing the fuse. From what I understand, the fuse is just above the emergency parking brake. If so, where do I purchase a new fuse and how much does a new fuse cost? Also, how do I know which fuse needs replacing? Is that in the instruction manual?
Since I purchased my 2010 Prius about a week ago the center console top never slid completely forward. It slides to about where the cup holder insert is and stops. I've taken the cup holder out and it still stops in the same spot.

View 1 RepliesHaving rattle on the right side of the center console? If so, did the dealership fix it or did you perform a DIY fix? The dealership said they tightened something a few weeks ago, which worked initially, but it is squeaking again. If I press against it with my hand (or have a passenger press their leg against it), the rattle goes away.
View 6 RepliesMy 2012 Prius makes noise in cold days. After careful examination I found the noise comes from the rubbing between the joystick cover and the center console bridge cover. If I press the joystick cover with my fingers, the noise will be significantly reduced or even eliminated. So I think if I put a layer of soft material there, I may be able to eliminate the noise. How to remove the center console bridge cover? Either pictures or video will be great.
View 1 RepliesIS350 fsport. I have had the car for two weeks already and these sounds are driving me crazy. Its definitely coming from the center console area, I can even move it a bit and its makes the squeak sound. On bumps something like a little plastic pebble feels like it rattles. I went to lexus and they couldn't really do anything about it. They said its normal when two plastics come together to squeak.
View 14 RepliesI almost bought a Gen 2 Prius, right before the introduction of the Gen 3. Then I waited a few years before I finally bought my Gen 3 Prius.
Don't let this out. But it's bothering me that I'm no longer at the top of the Standard Prius evolutionary chain.
The Gen 4 tribe is chipping rocks to make arrow heads... and using fire to cook meat and provide warmth...
Every time I go over a bump, the term Independent Rear Suspension pops in my head. An instrument panel that has multiple colors. I can only grunt and slobber and take what comfort I can from the pale light of the vacuum tube like glow of the Gen 3 instrument panel.
