Prius climate control panel failure

Thanks! By 'basics,' do you mean just visually checking the connections to the control panel?

Visual check is a good start, but I meant more like getting a proper diagnostic done. I fiddled around for ages, thinking it was a simple fix, but eventually, I had to bite the bullet and take it to a workshop. Turns out it was a faulty connection somewhere deep inside the dashboard. Save yourself the headache!

Appreciate the advice! I took it to a mechanic and they found a defective cable/plug connection, just like you suspected. Cost 95€ to repair. All working now.

I had something similar happen in my Prius. The HVAC system was acting up – no heat, no AC. Have you checked the blower motor or any of the temperature sensors? Could be an electronic fault. Start with the basics before diving too deep.
