Dude, i have just ran into this problem on my way home from work, today, just now at 5:07pm... your video was the 1st to come up, i did it right and Gooddang...It DID WORK!!! WOW!! thanks, i was about to call thw dealer and get ripped off, like they usually do. Thanks a million!!!

This is the best method, and the presentation is short and sweet. Thank you.

Bless your soul I literally watched 6 videos of people holding the climate button and flashing their headlights and none of that worked but this one did lol

I mean this in the most platonic way possible I love you

This worked. I replaced the capacitor under the dash a year ago. Nothing else worked but you saved me pulling apart the dash again. Thank you.

Saved my bacon! I was stuck in the parking lot with my kids and groceries

First try!!! What a life saver!

I tried it and it WORKED! Thank you Sir.

Thanks for this DIY. This works, you have saved me from lot of troubles

THIS WORKED, amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much, this happened to me while I was on my way to a job interview. thank you for your help.

Men, you save me a headache. Thank you, thank you

Worked perfectly thank you! Such a relief

Just I did and it's totally working thank you soo much mannnnn you are amazing

Thanks my guy. I had one block left. Phew.

This worked super well! Thank you so much 🥳

Amen Hallelujah brother it worked on my 2010 prius. Thank you and God bless.

That’s awesome worked for me instantly. Thanks man

Great video! Quick fix and my car is back to normal!

This worked first try. Thanks!

It worked!!!! Thank you for the helpful video!

Worked like a charm buddy

This just helped me. Thanks pal

This is the third time this has happened to me. This time it happened after the car sat for a month and the 12V battery had drained. Trickle charged it overnight, started it up and had no dash lights. Thanks for the video. Others forget to say the door has to be open.

Thank you brother it worked

I was having the same problem. Research led me to believe it's the capacitor. My workaround had been to disconnect the 12V battery in trunk; then reconnect it. This works but began to be more of a nuisance. I decided to wire a light -switch (common AC light switch 120V/15A found cheaply in hardware stores) with a short length of wire (common lamp-wire 14-gauge). Wired between grounding screw and ground wire to battery. This method allows easy access to disconnect/reconnect battery (i.e. reset electrical system). Capacitors acts to reduce ripple effect on the voltage. The main problem seems to be as the original capacitor(s) degrade over time, they may no longer reliably reduce the initial ripple (upon startup) to allow the computer to fully initialize; hence the multifunction display isn't brought online. While the light-switch was a fairly easy, quick, and cheap workaround, it seems to also have resolved the issue! Perhaps the addition of the switch and wiring induces a small measure of capacitance? In any case, I haven't had that issue again in months, if it recurs I can reset via the switch. Note: I folded the excess metal of switch and used electrical tape wrapped around it to form protective 'wings' so switch doesn't accidentally get switched OFF. Works great!

Thank you so much. Worked 💯🙏🙌

Thank you soooo much! That was amazing.

It worked for me🎉!! Thanks!

Thanks so much! That worked.

Thank you, problem solved.

Dude! Blessings to you ❤😊😅

THANK YOU!!!!!

You da man, thanks

Holy crap it worked

You saved me

Wow. That worked

Quickest way I’ve found is turn the headlights on before starting the car.

Hope this works , thank you !

This worked 4 me

What if your open door alert sound and light comes on and still nothing else comes on? I didn’t have an issue with my car door light from the beginning, it is the only light aside from my head light one that comes on

Mine is a little different. Dashboard lights working fine but once I turn on the headlights, it goes off. I’ve tried this but not still working. Once I turn off the headlights, it works. So frustrating when driving at night.

This works fs

Mine started doing this and just ignored it and kept driving. Now the ac sometimes doesn’t kick on. The ac seems to be working perfect when it turns on but sometimes it’ll be on on and it just doesn’t blow. Have you dealt with this?

Yes sir

Tried just now. Didn't work for me. The open door indicator light didn't even come on.

Hi sir!! Appreciate this so much! Do you or does anyone else understand why this happens??

It didn’t work for me but nothing seems to be working for me at this point. Ugh

but the door light did not come on, I did not see the door light.

thank you but why does this happen it scared me

Did not work for me.

What has worked for me: 1.While door is open, insert fob in ignition 2. Turn on headlights (leave on) 3. Press on brake for about 2-3 secs (don't take foot off brake) 4. Press power button

That didn’t work for me

As somebody who's owned a second gen Toyota Prius and put about 90,000 mi on it when he showed me the problem of dash lights not coming on and then also went over to the energy monitor and it was not showing any sort of charge status on the hybrid battery. That just tells me that he did not put his foot on the brake and he only pushed the power button. Wants to put it in accessory mode to listen to the radio. The rest of this video seems like it's sort of clout chasing but it doesn't seem like this is a big channel or he is even trying to get a ton of views. I think he just did that to demonstrate but then again I'm not sure what's going on but there is quite a few comments in here that say that they tried it and it worked so it's really hard to say what's truly going on in this video because clearly after he demonstrates what to do, he does put his foot on the break and the car starts up normal ready mode and then the energy monitor displays an actual status for the hybrid battery instead of not displaying a status like it was originally also my 2007 Prius it had the canvas fault where it would just randomly have can bus communication errors and occasionally throw a light because of it generally. Otherwise mine, even with 270,000 plus miles worked perfectly fine except for occasionally throwing the can bus air and having an issue with the horn ribbon where it needed to be replaced and the horn did not work in the car so again, I'm not really sure if he's just trying to actually make a useful helpful demonstration video or what's really going on. But there is 17 comments of people saying that they tried this and it worked and only one comment so far of people being like it didn't work but given the fact that his initial demonstration did not show it showing a status on the battery, I do have to point out the fact that his initial demonstration he did not actually push the break. Otherwise I'm sure the car would have came on and displayed everything as normal had he done it and he just did it to kind of replicate what you would see and then to try to show you what he does to make the dash work again.

Did this 20 times. Didn’t work.

Didn’t work

This worked for me! Thank you so much!
