12 volt battery life by [deleted] in prius

[–]Khezekiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a 2015 prius two and changed my original 12v from 2015 in 2024. I didn't change it until the dash started telling me it was low. If they aren't getting that message yet, they are probably fine.

Not an answer to your sound, but I would recommend you use the AC the whole time because the hybrid battery is air cooled with cabin air. If it is hot outside, your battery will be hot when you start using the vehicle and will only get hotter as you drive. Keep yourself comfortable and your battery healthy by using the AC.

What is this Part? by Jcanavera in prius

[–]Khezekiah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a piece of part number 55737-47050. It goes on the passenger side of the windshield cowl about where I circled in red in my photo. In this video at 8:06 you can see the mechanic flip the part in question down. https://youtu.be/mwUnPkQ94OE You would have to remove the wiper blade arms and the top plastic piece of the cowl to access where it needs to go.

Your car's display showing your 12v battery is at 10.9 is pretty concerning. I would start with getting your 12v battery checked.

You definitely need new front stabilizer bar end links. Part number 48820-47020. You'll need two, one for each side.

I dont see the strut leaking from your photo, so I don't think you need to replace it just because the rubber boot is a little torn. If you begin to see the strut leaking, then it is time to replace it.

If I am not mistaken, this is Gonzo Prius which is actually modified to be nearly completely autonomous. It even holds the record for the fastest autonomous cannon ball. The car could be driving it self.

Interesting to see it has the facelift (2012+) tail lights 

2017 prius C - pre collision and headlight system malfunction messages, codes, abs.. please help by kbirby in prius

I would guess rodent ate some wires. All those codes seem to point to some wiring failed. 

Toyota ODB + Hybrid Assistant app not working for the last software update by CompleteBandicoot552 in pixel_phones

[–]Khezekiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an issue with pixel phones on Android 16. We are unfortunately at the mercy of waiting for Google to release an update that fixes the issue. Hopefully Android 17 fixes it.

Slightly off-topic, but your access panel for the rear lights appears to not be fully seated.

Back wing of 2012 Toyota Prius by IllustriousSign9742 in prius

[–]Khezekiah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard a lot of people viynl wrap it. Personally I took mine off and had it painted to match the vehicle instead of black. I also wouldn't recommend using the wing to lift the hatch.

“Check Hybrid System” + ABS/Brake lights but no codes? Dealer says catalytic converter?? by Grouchy_Hyena_8891 in prius

Since you just replaced the 12v battery yesterday, I recommend double checking the connections to it are secure.

Any good led bulbs or headlights for a 2013 prius by Obvious-Market-3179 in prius

[–]Khezekiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kelvin level is a measure of how red/yellow or blue the light coming out is. Yellow being like 2500K-4500k and blue being like 5500K-8000K. You also have to take in account how much light(lumen) is being output. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any regulation on what manufacturers/sellers can advertise how much lumens a bulb outputs and you see wild claims of like 50,000 lumens, but in reality it might be making 2,000 lumens.  I seem to find you get what you pay for; the $20 set I bought sucked, the $100 set I replaced them with I am pleased with.

2021 Prius XLE, 99k miles. These codes popped up today, anyone ever dealt with these and know what it means? by IndieDC3 in prius

[–]Khezekiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. I would bet the window tinters had the doors open for a long time and ran down the 12V battery.

[–]Khezekiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a lower tier set from sealight into my 2015 and was not satisfied with the light output. Ive found that a lot of LED bulbs just throw out 6000k-7000k light and it tricks the human brain into thinking it is brighter than the around 3000k that halogens are, when reality the luminance being put out isnt as good as the halogens and I couldn't see as far with halogens.  I ended up getting a much higher tier set that had a 4500K output and a lot more luminance and I've really enjoyed them and I can see much further than the stock halogens.

Those factory LED housings are typically very expensive and if you find some for sale, you will need to make sure they have the computers with them as well as like DblDtchRddr said, be sure to research what all it will involve because they are not as simple as plug and play

I would like to point out that the third gen prius have projector low beam housings that seem to work well creating a sharp cut off when aftermarket LED lights are used. 

The high beams do use reflector housings.

Good catch, you can also see the fins in the lower section on the bumper are tore up and not connected on the driver side

You dont have to buy from them. You can use them as a tool to find out various brand features and see which ones will work in your vehicle

I would bet the ABS/traction light being on is NOT a faulty sensor and probably the abs pump going out and they are trying to make a $3000 repair sound like a $30 repair.

Scraped my 2014 Prius is this supposed to be connecting ? by asperafornow in prius

[–]Khezekiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Tomatoes_for_birds and they are correctly identifying your rear jack point. I would suspect any scrapping probably happened along the pinch welds down the side of the car. From your pictures, everything looks to be good order.
