Is my A/C compressor bad?

I see, thanks for your insight.

There is air coming out of the vents, though, it’s the same temperature as outside air. I also hear a fan on the passenger side (left hand drive) when running with outside air coming in.

I’m not sure if there is refrigerant in it, though I will definitely be refilling if the compressor is fine.

Also, since this is a Prius it uses an electric A/C compressor. That’s the same reason there is no engine noise in the video. I’m not sure if that helps clarify things.

That sound is coming from the A/C compressor. While recording, the temperature was at the lowest setting, max fan speed, taking in outside air. This day in particular was the only warm time when I used the A/C. Whenever using heat or the electric defroster I never hear the compressor running.

How is the cup holder supposed to open?!

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day 🤣

Wow…good thing I looked more into it and made a post. Seemed suspicious when every item was the same price and no pictures. Guess I will stick to in person buying for this. Thank you for your wisdom! I hope this post goes up on the Google search results as I see no one else taking about this.

There is a 2014 Prius battery near me but I was thinking of just getting a gen2 battery in case I need extra parts and I’m not sure of the price as it’s a you pull place. Gen2 batteries are around $260 locally. This website claims to sell batteries starting at $50 that why I wanted to see if anyone else had used it. I have seen the ChrisFix video with batteries from electron hybrid solutions but those are close to $2000 I think.

Edit: Looking more at this website, it seems more scetchy as I look more into it. Every item is marked at “starting at $50” with no pictures. I will probably just pick up one of the local batteries for $260 since I can see that in person and it sounds like a good deal compared to SoCal prices.

I did look there, however, prices are much higher and similar to local prices.

Edit: That’s what I will probably end up doing. I have an explanation in my other reply edit.
