A 2005 Toyota Prius owner is experiencing issues with the blower, suspecting a fault in the air conditioning control unit. A similar problem was encountered by another individual with a different Toyota model, who confirmed the issue was indeed with the A/C control unit and required repair. The suggested solution is to have the vehicle checked by a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and address the problem, with the hope that the repair costs will be manageable.

Hey, yeah, that sounds exactly like the problem I'm having. My Prius currently has 48727 KM km. I've kind of noticed the blower error on and off, but I didn't think it was anything serious at first. However, it seems to be getting worse. Thanks for the tip about the A/C control unit, I will definitely take it to the garage and find out. I hope it doesn't get too expensive.... All the best!

Hey, I guess we have the same bad luck! But don't worry, you're not alone. It's actually a known problem with these models. It got worse and worse with my Corolla too. And with your mileage, it's not unusual for a problem like this to occur. It's always a good idea to have it checked by a specialist. And who knows, maybe you'll be lucky and it will be less expensive. Hopefully it won't be that expensive for you... Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Get in touch if you know more or have any further questions. Stay tuned and have a safe journey!

Hi there, I actually had a similar problem with my 2003 Toyota Corolla. I would describe myself more as a car enthusiast with some experience, so not a mechanic, but I know a bit about it. At first I also thought the problem was the A/C control panel. But it turned out that the air conditioning control unit was faulty. I had to take it in for repair and paid 940 euros for it. I can tell you, it wasn't fun, especially because of the price and waiting time. But I'm glad it's finally fixed. What mileage does your Prius have? How long have you noticed this fan fault? The more details you give me, the better advice I might be able to give you. Just get in touch! See you then!
