Separate names with a comma.
Was the car ever in an accident? Bend the body a little and it becomes really difficult to get the alignment right. We had a Protege5 that kept...
Well, hand waving, ballpark 10A for either one window motor or the blower (at some speed). Hard to figure it out from the fuses for the window...
Exactly. It made no sense that the cabin fan, which can draw a lot of current, didn't affect the reading, whereas the window motors did, if the...
Thanks. I knew this 12V had very little capacity, but it still holds voltage OK overnight, and still has enough oomph to get the car to READY....
I don't know the details, but since we know they must program in the odometer reading my best guess is that they also program in the VIN, or some...
I have been driving around for a while with a voltmeter display stuck in the power outlet under the glove box. It typically reads 14.3 V or 14.4...
Well, at the very least the odometer will be wrong, since that information is stored in the combination display. (Ours was replaced under a...
Pictures? It doesn't sound "severely". Mashed bumper and broken tail light isn't a deal breaker, but bending the car is. We had a 2000 Subaru...
Yup. I have on occasion temporarily soldered a second capacitor on in parallel in some piece of equipment, but it was always just to verify that...
Understood. I would expect here that both the fender and all of its (metal) fasteners would be fine. Unpainted fenders are $47 at RockAuto....
Those coil packs are 4 for $38 on Amazon. The NGK pack is $44 for one on RockAuto. You're not going to get quality parts if they cost 25% of a...
Plus labor. If a matching color replacement fender is available locally for pickup it might well be cheaper than even just that list of supplies....
How long have you owned this vehicle? As others have said, it needs to be inspected from below. The other side of that fender could be very...
Don't do that unless all the windows are open. The car creates a vacuum behind it when moving and if the hatch is open that vacuum will extend...
I suggest calling many hybrid and Toyota specialists in the Bay Area and out towards Sacramento. Might take a while, but it is just time and...
The most common big repair expenses for this car are the ABS and the HV pack. Both repairs cost about the same. If you can do the work yourself,...
That coat hanger wire is not going to hold long. The bends will open up, change the spacing (before it eventually falls off), and if the spacing...
The energy display on the Gen 2 isn't all that great at telling the driver how much regen the car is making at a given moment, and it definitely...
It has been a long time since I lubed the door hinges on our 2007. I have been using spray on white lithium grease for this on cars going back as...
When our Prius first starts up from cold the first 5 minutes or so the MPG is pretty poor. 25-30 MPG is typical for the first bar that shows up...
