    Thanks to everyone who has posted about replacing the A/C blower I was able to replace mine in my 2008 Prius... but once I finished the Red Triangle with exclamation came on and the screen said Problem.

    Anyone have any idea what I did to cause the red Triangle to come on?

    not sure, did you disconnect the 12v and hybrid battery? how is the 12v health?

    does the blower work? is it new?

    If its the main blower that you have to remove the whole case then I would check to make sure you plugged everything back in and before you say you have I would check one more time.

    I did not disconnect either battery. The blower is new and works great.

    Do you think if I got the codes pulled it would show anything?

    yes, but before doing that, disconnect the 12v negative for a few minutes to reset everything. if the triangle comes back, take it in.

    Yes. Or at least give you a circuit to check which would more than likely help you along.

    I’ll do that... as far as I remember there were only two things I had to unplug.

    The codes will help you narrow down the next steps;).

    It could be something related to the AC or it could be something else. The codes will let you know(y).

    I disconnected the 12v battery for a few minutes and that cleared the red triangle. Thanks for the help.
