Hello all, I'm wanting to fix the front door rocker molding. The clips have busted off and I'm not sure of the correct ones. Also how would I remove the molding without busting these off? Suggestions? 2003 Vibe GT I've seen this but I'm not sure the trim is the same because mine doesn't have any cli...

Would you or anyone else have a diagram where I could locate the "starter switch" so I can try to pull it and take a look.

Thanks in advance

03GTMatthew

I did replace the negative terminal but not the positive yet, I was planning on doing that after getting the car started again. But I can try replacing that one too if other gussestions don’t come up first.
Thank you

I have a 2003 vibe GT and the previous owner must have been a woman, the bezel around the radio has scratches as if she couldn't ever find the right station.. So parts of my bezel are back to plastic black.. I would like to paint it back to the stock color and also the driver side window controls.( ...

I was driving and then got home and opened the packages and then let the vibe run on ramps for 15 min and then put a block of wood on the gas petal to about 2700rpms.. for a couple min and then i was just watching the temps increase... maybe if someone reading this could do a test on a good cat and ...

03GTMatthew

well the temps are in...... pre cat is 520f and after cat is 320f ..... so from what i'm told... my cat is clogged... still use-able till its fully clogged ... but i'm definitely in the looks for a new cat

I'v been expecting to do the oxygen sensors for a while now.. i'm pretty much always looking for my next project on the vibe.

03GTMatthew

I would like to get a new catalytic converter... but I would like to make sure its bad before I do get a new Catalytic converter... so this is what I'v got going on...

03GTMatthew

03GTMatthew

I went back to autozone and it was a p0420 code. But before I got back to autzone my check engine light turned back off.. I'm confused because autozone is saying to use this Catalyst Cleaner $25.. that should fix it unless its broken... but if i'm going to spend $25+tax and it doesn't work.. i would...

03GTMatthew

I would say that the beads helped but didn't cure the shaking... I'm happier with them.. but i would be 100% happy if that would have fixed the shaking.... maybe if i change out the rear bearings and hub struts .... i thinks that's what i'm going to do.... and then head back in for a neither alignme...

03GTMatthew

I just had new tires and rims put on my vibe. The rims can't use the metal weights so they use the sticky weights. After they balanced them. I took the car for an alignment. The car now has a shake at 65-80 but will shake from 80-50. I had the tire place re balance my tires. it helped a little. But ...

This happened to a neither car of mine.. check all the vacuum hoses under the hood. Mine was a VERY small guy about 1" inch that looked on but wasn't. So double check it all... If this doesn't work then i would also try to disconnect the batter for about 20 minutes.
