02 prius no power unless car is running- no interior lights

02 prius key fobs dont work, power door lock wont work from inside the car unless it is running. No interior lights either until car starts. When starting it stalls on first attempt. Second attempt usually works after horn beeps once and wipers go once.
It happened 4 times today. At one point the airbag light stayed on as well. No other warning lights were lit.

Hows your battery?,for the engine, not the electric motor,Prius,normally dont have any quirky issues with electrics,and behave normally if the car batery is flat,ie...it will behave like any other car if the normal battery is flat or old,check by jumping,(fuse box under hood has terminal for + and put neg(black) on suspension bolt ) 3 each strut top.That should work to see if thats your problem

My Prius will not lock with remote control. Locks apply and reopen immediately in my prius

Check for one of the door-open switches to be misadjusted. If the door ajar lamp is lit, the remote locking system will not work. Also check that a second key-fob is not inside the car. The smart locking system will not allow you to accidentally lock the key fob inside the car and will cycle the lock back to the unlocked position immediately if the fob is sensed by the inside-the-car sensor(s).

May be keyfob needs reprogramming.

Keyfob remote reprogramming is not very difficult but on some cases it can be done by dealer service tools.

If the remote s faulty then key fob will not get programmed.

Insert the key in ignition. Turn the key to on position, and cycle the key three times off-on-off-on-off-on. Then with the key fob remote select your remote and then try to operate the vehicle with remote.

These are just the basic procedure, but sometimes it will not help.

On that case dealer is the only option.

I have a 1999 ford expedition that wont start, when i go to crank it the fan runs but the vehicle will not turn over, it has light on the interior until the key is in the run posistion then the turn off,...

anit theft is activated. It should deactivate if you close all doors and hood and open with key or fob from outside of truck.

You must have opened a door by reaching inside and opening the door when it was locked. Once locked, it msut be unlocked with key or fob so the ouside lock sensor will tell the module it was unlocked porperly. Or, you have a bad door lock sensor switch.

Dash warning light not found in manual - hot to turn it off

The flashing key-inside-a-car means the anti-theft system is working properly. On page 84 of the 2009 Prius owners manual, the explanation indicates that a flashing key-inside-a-car is normal, and is desired. It should extinguish when the automobile is operating. It may be distracting, but it's a good thing!!

Front door locks on a 99 passat

You have the wrong KEY if it won't turn any locks.
You can use the KEY fob from another Passat.
The one you have was most likey not the original
and the car was reprogrammed to except that FOB.

The Fuse panel Is inside the DRIVES side.
Open the Driver door. Look at the side of the DAShboard.
THat Giant "B" Shapped plastic cover pops off.

Check the fuses...IF any are broken,black or no good.
REplace them

Hope this helps
