Consistent 2008 Toyota Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model of your '08 Toyota? [Prius](/topics-prius/) Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Prius yourself? What have you tried so far? Checked all the fuses in the [engine](/topics-engine-toyota/) compartment which are all good, no hot feed to passenger compartment
