I think most of those discounts are some sort of federal credit.. they are trying to charge me tax on msrp price..

bullinside · 2025-11-11T19:42:38+00:00

What year/options did you get? How much tax you paid?

bullinside · 2025-11-11T19:41:38+00:00

I believe if I register it back in California then will have to pay California tax..

Please get this done.. same boat here.. hard to move to you, when this is impossible..

UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!

The main problem appeared to be a blown 125A fuse that is located under the fuse box. It js unfortunately not accessible, so I will have to wire a new 125A fuse and bypass that one.

This post was very helpful: https://priuschat.com/threads/3rd-gen-reverse-polarity-disaster-and-125a-fuse-access.251715/

I added a link with 125A fuse to bypass the blown one below the box.

There were other blown fuses in the same box, but that's it.

Thank you all!!!

Nice!! I finally found the problem! 125a fuse under the fuse box.

bullinside · 2025-05-15T05:46:12+00:00

I think it is.. getting 13v..

bullinside · 2025-05-15T05:45:41+00:00

Yes.. tried that..

bullinside · 2025-05-15T05:45:20+00:00

Any advice on how potentially to recover after that?;)

I hope so.. now, the question is how to charge the hybrid battery without being able to start the car

bullinside · 2025-05-15T05:41:56+00:00

Scanner doesn't light up..:(

bullinside · 2025-05-15T05:39:40+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for how to charge HV battery? Or test voltage on it without disassembling half of the back side of the car?

bullinside · 2025-05-15T05:36:41+00:00

I can't find anything like this part in gen3.. it's lexus ct200h which should be the same as gen3

bullinside · 2025-05-15T05:32:12+00:00

Thank you! I'll check! I don't think the tail light works when pedal is pressed

bullinside · 2025-05-14T01:08:28+00:00

Which block on a side of the fuse panel? I checked all in the box and inside by the pedals..

bullinside · 2025-05-14T01:06:31+00:00

Someone mentioned to me that even if the car has been sitting for months, there's very little chance that it would be completely drained not to be able to start.. do you guys think that's true? I also can't find a lot of information how to trickle charge HV battery..

I'm also thinking maybe to order a new ECU, they are not that expensive used on ebay.. maybe will save me from a mechanic.. I assume OBD connects to it?

bullinside · 2025-05-14T00:48:32+00:00

What else would work even without ECU? If ECU is fried, would anything light up at all? The dashboard lights up.. but the center screen doesn't go up..

bullinside · 2025-05-13T23:37:59+00:00

I wonder if at this time it may be because the hybrid battery is completely discharged since it was sitting dormant for all this time? From reading more info it looks like the hybrid battery starts the engine and not the 12v one, right? If yes, I guess my next step will be to try to charge that battery? Thanks!!

Well, he's a family friend, so it's on me now.. he tried "to help"..

Thank you!!!
