READ THIS!! Before you try to jump-start your car, make sure all sets of keys are out! When I hooked up the jumper cables, the alarm system kicked in, and locked all doors! I could not enter the vehicle since I kept the keys(both sets-what a dummy I was) inside so I would not misplace them. I have no way of entering the car now so I have to call my tow service! Save yourself time and frustration-Keep a set of keys w/ you at all times while working on the vehicle; I've never had a car do this before. FYI, I did have some issues w/ my fobs before so maybe it was a combo of issues but better to be safe than sorry.

Uuuuummmm...yeah....I'm going to need you to come in on Saturday ok.., and oh I see your having problems with your TPS reports also. Did you not get the memo?

I came in here because I want to help someone who has the same problem as mine. Just recently my 2008 Prius went completely dead even after changing to a new battery. There was no life, nothing at all. I had to ask my friends to give me a jump. After watching many KZfaq videos I found out that one of my fuse was gone. When you open the fuse box, at the right under C section, there are two blue no.15 fuses. I changed the second one from the top. After that I also had to tighten up my negative volt battery which is in the trunk attached to the back of the car. Make sure you unscrew the negative volt before putting on the new fuse. After that it came to life. Hope it helps someone.

I went to the trouble of crawling back to open the rear lid and taking things apart to get at the battery. This is much more sensible.

Yeah so where are the tps reports

12 years later and still solid advice thank you!! Just saved me.

Why in the world would anyone give a thumps down to this video??? We called triple AAA to come jump our Prius hatchback and they asked us how to do it! I said I have no idea, I thought YOU guy would know!!! THIS VIDEO SAVED THE DAY! It was so accurate, concise, and the visual explanation so perfect that even this old lady grandma will be able to do it myself next time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Omg this helped me get my car started. I am a single mother with 3 kiddos. They left the lights on and we didn’t go anywhere for 3 days. Thank u so much!!!

Actually if it doesn't start just wait 5 mins with the cables hooked up so it can charge a little, then try and start it. If it doesn't start then call Toyota

Thx Kenny. My used Prius came w/o an owner's manual and when I popped the hood I was at a loss. Good, concise explanation. 👍

AAA had sent a Towtruck driver and he totally dismantled the rear part of the poor prius 😢when i showed up i couldn’t make up where the battery was so i did a quick search on KZfaq got the job done in two minutes and a 20 dollar tip thanks to this video its full of info and not dragging on like most othef ones

If I were in San Jose this would be my dealer! To make things so simple, and save so many of us so much aggravation and money... greatly appreciated!

You just saved my life mate. Thank you!

Worked exactly as described on a 2015 Prius V. Used an engine bolt closer to the fuse box for the negative connection.

Thank you for posting this. Today I was able to help a 94 year old Prius owner that was freaking out. We have enough to worry about today,

This was perfect! After maybe a month and a half of the car sitting in the garage (pandemic), I found that the car was dead. This guide got me back up and running with my charger in a jiffy.

Thank you for this video. You saved my a**. I jump started without any issue following your instructions. the manual was useless but this video was awesome.

Thank you for this! Our 2011 Prius would not start this morning (dome light was inadvertently left on) and your video made it very clear and easy how to get it up and running in less than 5 minutes.

You are amazing sir , I was stuck today and was soo worried , but this video proved to be a life saver , thanks again :)

Thanks!! I was trying to connect to the screw on red cable.
