My 2007 Prius wouldn't start today. I have a driver on it occasionally and he had been parked on Aux for 1 1/2 hours, with the taxi radio (fairly new) car radio and scanner on in daylight. He drives it every weekend so knows how to start it.
After turning it completely off and leaving it a 1/2 hour, it started. The hybrid battery was showing a near full charge, just under the green.
Why would that be? Did the computer need to reset? If it is the 12 V battery, is that the one behind the rear seat? Can it be boosted with a battery pack?
I suggested he leave it in the On position with the heat turned up enough to start the car now and then, until we find out what the problem is. And keep an eye on the bars on the Hybrid battery. It's cold enough here to need heat anyway.
This is my first incident, and it has about 94,000 Km. or about 52,000 miles.
