I think I left the light on my 04 Prius when I sat in the passenger side this afternoon -- I reached over and just hit the Power On to listen to tunes and then Power Off button w/o depressing the brake. I think that might have left my "daytime running lights" on, perhaps?
The battery drained and I was in need of a jump. I couldn't find a spot under the trunk to jump the battery so I went to the back. Since I had no power, I couldn't pop the hatch. I had to dig out the whole hatch area to open the hatch, which is doable from the inside but is nearly impossible. After all this, there was the aux battery cover which was a pain to pry off. Finally I got the jump and it started.
Is there a better way to jump a dead battery than all this digging to get to the hatch! This was a real PIA and just added to the stress level of having a dead Prius. Can't seem to find this in the manual. :evil:
