    1. I replaced the trim panels on my 2007 Prius and since then my wireless key won’t start my car. I have to put the key in manually every time. I replaced the key fob battery and tried a second key. I tried the valet buttons under the steering wheel. The car unlocks with proximity sensor just fine. I have ran out of things to try

    What electrical connections did you disturb when you replaced your "trim panels"?

    Usually, I go to whatever it was that I touched and see if I made a mistake by not (fully) plugging something in.

    Which trim panels the one under the steering wheel that houses the hood latch release and the two buttons under the steering wheel?
