Prius (2010-12) :: Passenger Side LED Door Sill Connection
Sep 24, 2014
I connected the driver's side LED door sill without a problem by following the video instructions. However, there were no instructions for the passenger side. So, I guessed that I would t-tap the two top wires. The LED's do not light up. Now on second view, the top cable that I t-tap'ed looks more black than blue. I should have done this in the light. So...
1) What are the correct wires to t-tap for the passenger side?
2) Did I damage anything if I t-tap'ed the wrong cable and I then remove the t-tap?

I removed the driver-side door sill protector today, and discover some rust around the rectangular holes where the tabs of the protector get inserted. There are also small rust bubbles in the paint. (Small as in 1/16" in diam.)

I purchased my first car and I am excited its a prius. I got lucky and got it below Kelly blue book. Its a 2010 IV, love the navigation and sound system. Thee car had a few minor issues when i bought it (ABS/Slip/Horn repaired). My only other issue (very minor) is the driver side door sill. The light unfortunately does not turn on when i open the door. After realizing this i took apart door foot panel, plastic door guard and the door sill itself. Immediately after removing the door sill.
I noticed that there was a significant amount of surface rust and the led circuitry had been compromised from water and appeared to be the root cause. So i thought i could fix it by removing the led light strip and replace it with some generic 12V blue led strip lighting. My thought was that i could cut the wires from the original led and tie into the existing OEM wiring. But when i plugged it in nothing happened; i tested the led lights i bought on a 9V and it works. So then i bought a multi-meter and tested the wires and i didn't get any reading. Am i doing anything wrong? Is there a particular fuse i need to check or any other lines i need to follow?

After traveling on the prehistoric roads (99% of the roads) in DC that have not been maintained since the Stone Age, the front passenger door is rattling (or something in it/within the vicinity) at only 3000miles. It looks like this happened after I started driving on the beltway. The beltway has less potholes than the prehistoric roads BUT on the beltway, you'd be hitting those potholes at 65mph.

I've had the car for over a week and I just noticed that the sill is missing on the driver side. I'm going to call my dealer, but I know she'll be clueless, so I'd like to have the part # handy.

Is it normal to have water on the door sill whenever it rains? Driver side. Passenger side haven't noticed any yet. Basically the black step cover which has Elantra on it is soaked whenever it rains.

I have a vertical scratch on the rear passenger door on the driver's side. When window is fully closed, the scratch starts from below the weather strip molding and goes up about halfway on the glass. It looks to me something inside the door is rubbing against the glass when it's rolled down.

Having issue with power windows in 2010 Prius. I just noticed today that I can't roll down the rear passenger side window from the driver door switch but all the other windows work, and the rear passenger window works as I can roll down from the door itself.

Just in case the dealer wants to be a jerk and skip fixing the rattles I have on my car, just curious about creaking noises coming from the front doors. I have one that is pretty bad on the passenger side door. It sounds like a small creek, it happens when i go through roads that are not perfect. The noise goes away if I push against the door panel, not so much when I yank it in. I currently have a broken driver seat too, so hard to pinpoint if I have the exact same problem on the driver side front door, but the creaking is the same.

My passenger side rear door is squeaky from lack of use. Its not the hinges, but the little arm that goes into the door. Should I grease or oil it?

2010 Ford F-150 Lariat crew cab ... Is there any way to adjust the door on the passenger side? It is not close all the way. When it rains hard it gets in the cab.

My driver's side and passenger side door handles squeak when using them to close or open the door. Its kind of an annoying issue which surprised me due to the quality and fit and finish on the rest of the car. The door handles do NOT make noise when driving the car, only when I grab and squeeze and close or open the door. I will be taking it to my dealer's service centre at my earliest convenience to see if they can remedy the issue.
Here's a short video to show you what I'm experiencing. I am squeezing the door handle a little more aggressively for the purpose of the video but I'm not being rough. [URL]....

Noticed a noise that begins upon opening the passenger door? It lasts for about ten seconds then stops. Is it by chance a battery ventilation fan or something related? Just curious.

Recently I have had a problem with the key fob unlocking the front passenger door. I was able to hit unlock once and the driver door would unlock and then if i hit the unlock again the front passenger door would unlock. Now if I hit the unlock button a second time, the car beeps about six times and the passenger door is still locked. My wife noticed the other day when I unlocked the hatch the passenger door did unlock. I have tried to change the fob from opening just the driver door to all doors but that didn't work. Is there something else I should try or is it a lock actuator problem?

I have problems with passenger side front door. It won't lock/unlock when holding the hand on the handle or when pressing the button on the handle. Everything is fine on driver side and when using the lock button from the arm rest on the same driver side of Prius. It is also OK when I unlock/lock the car with the FOB.

I have a 2010 Prius and noticed that lately I sometimes have to press either lock or unlock several times before the little black and red switch moves to either lock or unlock.

When the car runs at a certain RPM during idle, the door panel rattles/buzzes. This is usually when the car is first started. The idle speed changes at some point as it warms up and then it no longer rattles. Sometimes it also buzzes during acceleration when the engine hits a certain RPM or when driving on coarse spots in the road.
It has been very difficult to reproduce it at the dealership because there seems to be no way to control when the engine runs and to control the RPM. On top of that, it is affected by ambient temperature. If it is isn't cold enough, it doesn't happen. Is there any way to manually control starting and revving the engine? Is there any well-known issue that causes this or a known fix for the buzzing?

We just upgraded our Prius from Gen 3 to Gen 3....a 2012. Great ride, just drove it from SoCal on a Sierra Mtns road trip, a little hiking and snowboarding for our spring break. What we failed to notice upon purchase was a passenger door whose controls want work! The drivers door can lock the car and operate the passenger window and lock. However, the passenger door switch won't open or close the window, nor will it lock the door. All other doors and locks work normally.

My '11 Prius has developed a problem where the rear passenger door will not open from the inside. It will open from the outside. All other doors function as they should.

Having problem with water in the side sill of Phaeton? Recently after many problems with different electric parts of my Phaeton and replacement of different units under a guarantee, VW service has found the source of problems - water in booth side sills of my Phaeton. All foams in the side sill were wet and volume of removed water was more then 2-3 liters. Water was clean and without smell, so I was expecting leakages in the sunroof or in the different part of my car. Unfortunately service despite of showering of the car can not find the way how the water is coming into the car.Due to the fact that service can not find the leakage they are starting to suspect that car was flooded and in that way rejecting guarantee service.
