No, there's only a fan that takes the air from the cabin and pushes it through the battery.

I ordered a centrifugal fan that will be placed at the end of the battery and it will run all the time when the READY is ON, it will suck the air through the battery and push it outside.. Plus, I will put a tube from the rear climate vent under the carpet all away to the intake. That cold air will be sucked through the battery all the time and I don't expect the battery to get hotter than 85-90F.

It would be great to have a monitor for the battery temperature and fan speed.

I did have a warning on the dash that battery area was getting hot. battery cap, was reduced (or something like that) took it to dealer.
I was told they could not duplicate and battery was within limits 2018 es 300h
I cleaned screen and has not happened again but mileage is down.
ESh has cleared up the 'dealer mystery'.
good job

Well, the lighted door sills came in today. Took 40 min to find the plug (it is near where the old emergency brake used to be) then 20 min to install

Didn't you get the Installation Instructions Illuminated Door Sills with your illuminated door sills? The instructions include a picture showing where you plug it in.

I actually used the CD player! 😂
Cleaning out some things at home, this little nostalgia nugget fell out of a pile of junk, so I figured I’d give it a whirl
Have a great day, everyone

Congratulations! That was one of the reasons for Us buying Our Es350! You don't see many cars with CD players anymore.

That's because us ES owners are retro grouches. ;-)

do they offer a version for the rear doors? I have the same illuminated door seals for my front doors, but would love to add the illuminated door seals to the rear doors.

That's probably more true than I'd care to admit!

Every leather piece cleaned and shielded. The best product I ever used.

The interior on your ES is the best color that I've seen! I wish that it was available when We bought ours because it looks Great!
