Sounds like your 12 volt battery is weak (strong enough to start but not enough to maintain). Of the Prius' 2 batteries, this one is by far the easiest and cheapest to replace (~$100 vs the ~$4700 Hybrid battery). I'd recommend taking the car to a shop and having the battery checked out. *Impotrant* Be sure to ask for a 'load test' instead of a simple voltage check. This should be a quick and free test from any auto parts store.

SOURCE: parking light brake light will not go off after power is engaged

no the P light ans system will always be on unless you command a drive or N funtion since there is no 'park' in the drive train only a mechanical brake. when running/on, when you put in drive it should acknoledge drive and P should unlock. if not you have trouble and need the dealer

Testimonial: "this was very helpful. Thanks. It finally went into drive after repeated tries. Good to know there is no actual nonmechanical parking brak"

2007 Toyota Prius won't power up. HV battery and 12v battery are both new. Emergency flashers, flashing red car icon, and door lights are all that works? Any ideas?

I seem to recall that the high voltage battery has a module that identifies it to the car. If that is the case, you need to go to the dealership or call a mobile auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to program in the details of VIN number and mileage.

There are some videos here. I haven't watched them but I hope they are useful.

Toyota Prius hazard lights blinking constantly

i have a 2010 Prius that we bought new. It has had no problems, but I can tell you from my study of the Prius that pretty much nothing is simple. The easiest way to reset stuff is to disconnect the a start battery connection. You can look on the net how to start a Prius with jumper cables to the engine compartment, and disconnect the start battery there. If you are not comfortable with that, the start battery is in the rear near the spare tire. Disconnect the negative cable only, wait 15 minutes and reconnect. You may have to reprogram your radio push buttons, but so what. If this doesn't work, take it to a shop (maybe toyota dealership) that can read and interpret the trouble codes for a 2010 Prius. Enjoy the car, we do.

When I start my 2010 prius it starts, but buy the time I take my food off the brake the start button turns red.

Sounds like your starting battery is going dead. You may want to either go onto Prius Chat's website and search for this: 1NZ-FXE Charging - for self install directions. Good luck!

My 2008 prius won't start when the button is pushed. It only starts when the key is inserted.

Make sure you are stepping on the brake petal when you push the start button or it won't start up.
