I lost one of my sks FOBs. I'm considering replacing it without a laser cut key. I'll use the other FOB primarily. Any downside to this thought? The charge for the laser cut key is very high compared to the cost of a battery that I could replace every 2 or 3 years just in case. Checked 5 dealers and prices are all over the place but the lowest is the equivalent of about 20 batteries.

View 16 RepliesI thought I'd share, my rear wheel hub was very bad, wheel wobble when shook about a width of a quarter (found by the tire shop during tire purchase).
Shops were charging $450-$600 to do the work, however the part by itself is a bearing / hub combo, no need to separate the two, the dealer price for the part is around $250 and the OEM grade from Autozone was $90.
I didn't want to fork out that much money to do the work that looked simple, I was just concerned about the hammering to get the hub off the car.
Is it possible to replace my stock Prius 4 halogen headlight assemblies with the Prius package 5 stock LED headlight assemblies? Is the wiring the same or totally different? More trouble than it's worth perhaps?

View 3 RepliesI'm looking at replacing the struts and shocks in my 04 Prius. Last time I replaced them with some cheap KYBs I found on auto parts warehouse. I was hoping for an improvement over the old worn out parts, but didn't feel an improvement. Well after 5+ years and who knows how many miles I figured it was time to replace them again.
View 7 RepliesI need to replace these as they are weakening. Can I get replacements at my FLAPS or are they a Toyota-only item? I'm asking because on another vehicle, I could not get the strut from a FLAPS due to the length not being a standard length with the proper connectors.

View 19 RepliesMy husband is rebuilding our 07 Prius that has HID Headlights that were both broken and does not want to go back with HID due to cost. He wants to install complete Halogen Headlight assemblies from our parts car. He has rebuilt several Prius' for friends and family but has not done a change like this so he understands the basic differences but is stuck on the Wiring change to handle the low and high beam differences. Wiring is not his strong point!
View 19 RepliesSince Toyota didn't have the replacement wiring harness in stock and it took nearly two weeks to get it, and I didn't take a picture of the old one before I removed it, I don't remember where these wires attach!

View 17 RepliesI bought a 2003 Prius from the original owner with 130k miles on it.
The electric motor was fine and would start but the gas motor was blown. I bought a used gas engine from a reputable company, and my mechanic did the swap. He is the best mechanic I've come across but he's clearly stuck.
What to do now?
I replaced hv battery and starter tried one time to engage and then nothing. i replaced 12v and still nothing. switch powers on and when pushed again simply powers down.
View 9 RepliesRecently had HV battery replaced by dealer in my 2005 with 129k.
2 days later the 12v went dead. I removed and replaced it, no problem except when I tried to go to my nav the screen said "please install correct map dvd".
I have never had a problem with my nav since buying the car new in 2005. I assume the problem is connected to the loss of 12v power. The player is under the pass seat.
Codes indicate bad battery block 10. One of the cells in block 10 had lower voltage than any other cell in the battery. Ordered new cell and replaced it. The 12V battery was never disconnected, but the battery ECU was disconnected to allow it to be moved out of the way for bolt access.
After reassembling the battery with the replaced cell, the no-load voltage of the battery is 215V. The car powers up with the alarm indicators still on (as expected) but putting the car in drive and pressing the accelerator has no effect. I double checked my connections. The HV relays are not being energized. Do the codes need to be reset before the car will move?
how easy is it to replace the Valve Stem Core of a tire? I got a hunch one of my Gen 3 Prius' valve stem core pin is slightly depressed and might be leaking air.
Is it expensive and do I need to worry about the TPM or is that a separate component?
After the tech changed the evap coil (9+ hours) I have 4 instrument panel warnings.
Brake system warning light
Master warning light
SRS warning light
Hybrid system warning light.
Even though they saved me alot of money I need to bring the car back for day two and have them figure this out.
From what I've read, I have a special 16" 7 spoke alloy European version wheel on my '09 Prius. Unfortunately, I hit a big pothole and bent the rim enough to render it unusable. I've searched a while and have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement.
View 1 RepliesI've got a dead module (and the dealer wants over $3k to replace the whole battery). I just read most of the excellent thread on replacing a single module from my battery, and I think I can do it.
Where I'm hesitant is the rebalancing. Back in 2013, it sounds like with $400 worth of chargers it could be done in 6 days. A later post referenced the Reaktor 300W charger. I can get one of those for $121.
