PaulE Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hi, I am not a Techie but I have a 2005 hybrid and the only couple of times I had starting issues was first when the 12v battery had failed and needed replacing with the correct start/stop type of battery (there is a post about this on the forum in my name) - the vehicle would jump start but then cut out when put into drive- replacing the battery cured the issue. The second was when I hadn't used the car for a couple of weeks or so and the 12v battery was down (it did start with a power pack ok). Have you used the vehicle regularly or has it been left unused for a period of time , do you have the correct 12v battery and how old is it? Is it a different issue to the one I have described?

Sunny Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hiya I'm also looking for a garage, but for different problem. I took my Alphard from South Wales to Scotland to have my battery problem sorted....that turned out to be caused by the dash cam! No garage here could or would even look at it as it was a hybrid or import. Hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulE Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Unless the donor battery is tip top then you are still likely to have trouble. Have you tried a booster pack (the positive connection is under the bonnet under what looks like a fuse box then connect the negative /earth to the nearest part of the chassis which is a nut to the left of the positive connection). I would try this before spending money on a repair garage if you can. You could take the old battery to a garage to get it checked out before taking in the vehicle. I had to replace my 12v battery with a Panasonic S55D23R (advertised as for a Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid) from a company called e-hybrid.com- if you make an enquiry give them your vin no. to get the correct battery-it needs to be a start/stop battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
