What year Prius is that off of? I thought the Prius ones didn't work well, but now that I know it's off to the junkyard for me!

Bought four replacement bulbs for the burned out backlight bulbs on the climate control. Super annoying how expensive they are! I refuse to go the LED route because they never look right. I also scoured the junkyard looking for older Toyotas that might share bulbs and no luck.

It’s working fine for the most part? Occasionally when I put it into reverse it will just show a black screen. I think it might be the camera or also it could be the crappy tap I used to tee into the reverse and power wires. Not sure. But it works more often than not.

I didn't realize the sold the isolators separately. Oh well. My Amazon Basics LX470 isolator is working just fine!

Set up craigslist alerts for private party. I had (still have actually) alerts for entire west coast/utah/CO....basically anywhere that's not in the rust belt. There are some obvious flippers out there, but you don't want to buy one of these from a dealer that bought it at auction and marked it...

You overpaid.

Take a look at the PDFs in this thread for the trouble code procedure. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ac-diagnostic-help-please.288959/

Like others have said, you are likely low on refrigerant. I am pretty sure there is a test you can do with the hvac controls that will display an error code that tells you if the low pressure switch is not engaging? If it is low, you likely have a leak. What you do from there, is up to you. If...

I bought OEM from McGeorge in like March 2021 and they had the two yellow bands. I bought the driver side in Feb. 2022 and it was one yellow band. Hope that helps some!

They will only install Toyota/Lexus branded parts, but they've also started offering remanufactured parts due to the cost of the new parts (I am guessing). You could get a reman, but the price would be substantially lower. I also think they have a -84 on the end of the part number if its reman.

Well I got the switch installed and happy to say they seem to work pretty well. They don’t get hot hot but it also might take a while. My newer cars get pretty hot but not until I’ve been driving for a little while. Still need to get the pads installed in the seats which I hear is the hard part...

Your AC compressor? I’d just get a Denso from RockAuto for that!

Nice!!! I’m considering a spare steering rack myself since I’m not going to pay full retail and it’s starting to leak a bit. I want to have it on hand for when it s**s the bed
