Prius (2004-09) :: Volume Goes Up And Down On Its Own
My 2006 Prius MFD still works, but when I try to select a button (let's say fan speed of climate control), when I press a button on the left side of the screen, a button on the right side of the screen engages. This is somewhat common on all screens. It's like the programming of the X-Y coordinates of the pressed section of the screen is offset. If I press the medium fan speed, it highlights high speed. As I press buttons moving from the medium speed down to low, the selected buttons highlight from high down to medium. If I press the A/C button, the fresh/recirculating air button highlights and toggles.
The display has been working perfectly until now (150k miles). I did recently get my car detailed which entailed cleaning the MFD of fingerprints, but I can't imagine that did anything as this is a pressure sensitive display, rather than capacitive.
On another note, my volume knob is mostly useless and sometimes the volume goes up and down on its own. Luckily I still have control over volume from my steering wheel. However this is a rare occurrence.
I'm more worried about the MFD because of the expense of replacing it as well as its control of Air Conditioning (as it's getting hot in Texas these days). Most of the threads I've read talks about blacked out screens rather than a offset problem.
Lexus RX 2010-15 :: No Volume Controls / AMP1 Fuse Keeps Blowing
I have no volume or voice command button. Also the amp1 fuse keeps blowing right away. Would a blown amp keep the voice command button from working?

My 2009 prius blows hot air from the fan even when the fan/heater is off. This usually happens when I am driving >40mph on the freeway and as soon as I speed up to merge or overtake, the fan turns on and blows hot air?

I had my A/C compressor unplugged over the winter, and now that I've plugged it back in, the A/C is not blowing cold. Is there some kind of programming reset that needs to be done?

I just bought my car probably a month ago. I have a 2006. We checked the air before we bought it, but it was cold outside, so it could have just been blowing out cooler air. Now that it's almost 90 degrees outside, it's blowing out very warm air.

Long story short, my Ac went out yesterday morning. There is absolutely NO AIR blowing out at all, not hot or cold... Its been 2 days and its about 120* where I live. I have a 2007 bought new, 150k miles on it and have NEVER had any problems with anything...
View 9 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Middle Air Vents Stopped Blowing
Yesterday I was driving with the AC on. I had it on the setting that blows out of all 4 dash vents (left, right, and two middle). I switched it to the option that should blow from the 4 dash vents and the vents in the floor/bottom. All of a sudden the two middle vents in the dash stopped blowing.
I have played with the settings - on, off, all the way hot, all the way cold - nothing from the two mid vents. The left and right vent blow with no problem. There is also cold air coming from the vent near the windshield - just the two middle dash vents are not functioning.
I found one thread that mentioned the problem may be with the "levers" or "actuators" that I have pictured here. I just replaced the 12v battery.

I have an 05 prius that has been a great car 193,000 miles with no issues, until now. AC started blowing warm air so took it to mechanic who replaced the compressor. Blew cold for a day and started blowing warm again. Took it back to mechanic replaced the evaporator. Same thing blew cold for a day and then warm air next day.
Mechanic told me to take it to Toyota to get it looked at and they said 3 way coolant valve so we replaced that and still blowing warm air. Took it back to Toyota for the second time and they said it was a bad compressor so we replaced that and still no cold air. No AC in Florida summer is getting old fast need to get this fixed.

Customer's car died about 2 hours from me. What this could be? It is at a shop now, and I walked them through how to test the main fusable link in the engine bay, and they said it was good. They also checked the 12v battery and that tested good. Here is what happened.
The customer was driving, then he said the triangle of the death and check engine light came on. Then, he kept driving for a little while and then all the sudden everything went dark and he coasted to the shoulder. The car hasn't had the inverter coolant pump recall done, so I am leaning towards that. The car's dome lights come on, the key can unlock and lock the car, but if you slide the key in and press the power button, nothing happens. What on earth would cause that?

Prius (2004-09) :: No Heat / Vents Are Blowing Cold Air
I have an 06 Prius. I was driving my Prius today and I've noticed that my car has NO HOT AIR...
And this is Winter!! I was driving for about 20 mins and still...No Hot air...vents are blowing cold (cool) air.
I recently changed my condenser/radiator but I did NOT fill my condensor with the A/C gas yet. (could that be the problem?) But isn't the gas inside condenser is for A/C and not for the Hot air??
Any other stuff that I need to check to solve this problem?? (harness, fuse etc.?) It's cold outside and my car has NO HEAT!
Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - AC Started Blowing Less, Eventually Nothing
I bought my 2005 prius used 6 months ago, all the mechanics work fine except my AC which started going in June.
Over 2 weeks it started blowing less, eventually nothing. Used the refrigerant (the correct one with no oil) and filled to around 33 every other day for a while and it would work great. Finally went to dealership 3 weeks ago, paid 140 and they replaced one valve (expansion valve? cannot remember) and filled it up and it worked for 1 week. They said a previous owner had dye put in and they saw the dye there.
Brought it back when I thought it was starting to go again and they said they saw a small amount of dye leaking in the evaporator but it would last 2 months minimum (obviously didn't). I was quoted 1400 for evaporator replacement.

View 1 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: AC System Hardly Working Just Blowing Warm Air
A few weeks ago I took my 2004 Prius into the dealer to get an AC diagnostics. At that time it was hardly working just blowing warm air. It did seem to be a bit colder tho when the car was in motion. With that visit I was told that there is a leak in my AC system and they recharged it and added a dye, to determine where the leak was coming from. I was told to use the AC as much as possible from then till my follow up appointment.
View 18 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: A/C Blowing Warmer Than Normal / No Air Flows
2 days ago I noticed a large puddle on the driveway when I left for work, but I thought it was just condensation from my A/C. That afternoon- 84 degrees outside- my A/C was blowing warmer than normal, even at Max Cold, so then I thought it might have been freon on the driveway and that I'd need to get checked for a leak and replace the freon. But the car wasn't overheated and the next day (in the mid-80s), the A/C worked normally in the morning and afternoon...
Then, this afternoon- 90 degrees outside- it wouldn't work at all. I've eliminated the compressor as the issue (turned on my car, let it go through its start-up cycles, then turned the A/C on high and Max Cold, popped the hood and listened for the buzzing)- it continuously whirs and responds to the changes I make on the A/C settings.
I think the blower motor died, since no air flows at any of the speeds from any of the air vents though I can hear the A/C is on... So my question(s) for you all... does it sound like I'm on the right track? Is there another potential problem it could be that I should be aware of before I take it in to the dealer for a diagnosis? Like a fuse I need to check? Btw, I have a 2007 with 141K miles on it...
Prius (2004-09) :: Got Code P3000 - Fan Blowing Hard?
My wife was driving the Prius today and triggered P3000 code, the triangle popped up and the battery blower fan runs full on. I of course googled it and see it can be due to battery overheating? How should i go about trouble shooting this?
