View 6 RepliesAccent 2012. I replaced the trunk and map lights with LEDs and they worked okay. I did the dome light last and something caused the interior lights to not come on. The light switch is set to door for the dome and middle position for the map lights. I am pretty sure I have the LED dome light polarity correct because it did come on for a bit while I was seating it.
Now the map and dome lights don't come on. I checked the 'ROOM LP 1' fuse and it looked good but I replaced it with one of the spare 10A fuses anyway. Still not working. The trunk LED does still light.
I searched this site and found in the 2007-2012 santa fe forum under 'front dome light not working when doors open' which mentions a blown diode in the dome light housing causing a similar issue.
An interesting thing happened at the gym today. While getting my 15 ft extension out at the Gym I apparently hit my reboot switch. Coming back out I unplugged and started, only to find out I had no power. Right away I knew what had happened, so I crawled back there and hit the switch up again. To my surprise, I now had a 14 mile range as compared to the usual 10.8. Apparently the traction battery liked sitting in the warm sun today. To reboot or not, that is the dilemma. There are many naysayers to this procedure, but I say they really have not tried it.

View 14 RepliesI recently got an iPhone 5s which I paired to my '12 SE with the premium display audio with nav & Entune head unit. When I try to enter a nav destination from my phonebook I get the message "address not found on map" for a lot of entries. I have confirmed that the addresses look OK in my contact list on the phone. The addresses that don't work are not dimmed out so the system sees them but for some reason when I go to edit them from the nav, destination, phonebook list the street name and # are not there.
View 9 RepliesI have a 2013 6.7l super duty Lariat. I want to install flashing LED lights to work in conjunction with the hazard lights. The leds have their own controller and will be separate from any other lights/wiring. What I need is some way to trigger a relay to turn on the led's. Was hoping to tap into the hot lead off the hazard switch itself but that's not an option!
View 2 RepliesPurchased our 2011 Prius new this past August. We currently have 28k miles on it.
After driving it for one week, one morning we started it and it sounded like the space shuttle was taking off.....it rattled and bang, clanged and shook for about 2-3 seconds. Then all was fine.
About every three weeks or so it would do it again, and again. Upon our next service we told the dealer. He said they were having trouble with a motor mount....so they they replaced it. Couple weeks later same thing.....several weeks after that....again.
Just wondering... should there be any plastic pieces inside the wheel wells directly in front of the rear wheels? There is empty space on mine where it looks like leaves and whatnot could collect. I can get a picture if needed. I expected there to be a plastic cover of some sort. Then again, maybe it is on purpose so if stuff collects in there you will see it and clean it out.

View 2 RepliesThe spot in front of the steering wheel is just a bare patch of dashboard. Why not put it to use? I can put my GPS or my phone there any time, attached with magnets.
View 19 RepliesI have a 2011 Prius, purchased new last August. It currently has 28000 miles on it.
Since new though, about once or twice a month, when you start it....it sounds like the space shuttle launching. It also shakes and rattles....for about 2-3 seconds.
Upon it's regular service, I complained of the noise. Toyota said that they were having problems with a motor mount.....so they replaced it. Of course a couple weeks later, it does it again...and again...and again.

View 9 RepliesI try to install LEDS on it and I guess I accidently blew the fuse and when I try to search for it, I can't locate it.
View 3 RepliesMaybe its supposed to do it, but I noticed tonight, that when the car is turned on and light switch it set to off, and then to either auto or on, the cluster lights dims from its normal intensity to less intense. Does that happen with the regular halogen bulbs as well ?I never really payed close attention to it before.

Why my fan wont turn off? If I pull the fuses under the hood it will stop, but once I put the fuses back in, it starts up again. I just installed a new radio, would this have anything to do with it?

View 2 RepliesI just installed an Alpine radio HU into my 2004 Camry and butchered the wiring. I connected the orange and orange/white wires which are for dimmer and illumination. This caused my climate control and dash lights(rpm,speedometer) to go out. How can I get them to light up again?
