That's no real secret.. but how do you do it without making the brake light come on? If you don't mind the brake light I guess that's ok. And I think it tells that information in the manual... I maybe wrong.. but sure did thought I read that in the manual once...

I found this on eBay and have contacted them and have confirmed it will fit in the vibe. The part numbers match so we should have no problem using this. I will order one shortly (when I get the money inbetween jobs right now) but thought it was important enough to let everyone know about it. Let me ...

Quote, originally posted by damronjr Â»I'm agreeing with this one. Didn't make sense, so not real surprised to see that wasn't the fault. I wonder how they determined that was the fault to begin with? Let's hope they can figure it out in a reasonable time-frame! Well from what they told me.. they we...

MoonDogg

UPDATE Dealership just called... they are replacing the computer!! They say they are getting no responce from the computer at all... they say they found 3 loose grounds ( 2 mine on my ground wire kit and one under the dash ) they don't know why the computer went out and think it might be the loose ...
