Re: 2009 Base Vibe Front Brake Caliper Bracket

Sorry guys, I gave up on finding the correct front mounting bracket and just decided to get the torch out and rebuild the one I have. Hard to believe 4 different auto parts stores didn't have the correct bracket. I'm sure most thought I didn't have the correct VIN that I gave them. Not sure what is ...

Re: 2009 Base Vibe Front Brake Caliper Bracket

I tried the VIN but it didn't recognize it on this Toyota site. How did you do your search? I tried to do a manual search for a 2009 Matrix instead of Vibe, but when it started asking for Frame Code and Characteristic, I didn't know what to select. I have a 2009 Base Vibe 2.4L FWD

2009 Base Vibe Front Brake Caliper Bracket

I'm having trouble locating the correct front brake caliper mounting bracket for my 2009 Base Vibe 2.4L FWD. I had pin freeze up and decided to just get new brackets. I went to 4 different name brand auto parts places; granted I could be very unlucky and have picked the worse guy in each store. Stor...

Re: Avital Remote Starter

Never told you that you didn't know what you were doing, but having someone disconnect over 15 circuits and "start over" isn't really advice I would expect from someone who knows how a remote start works. I was expecting some troubleshooting skills. How were you "correct" since I...

Re: Avital Remote Starter

I obviously hit a nerve. I was asking here since it was a bunch of Vibe guys. I only had to add one circuit and delete another and it’s working fine. Again no need to start all the over if you take the time to trouble shoot. I was just hoping someone else maybe had the same issue that could point me...

Re: Avital Remote Starter

I was hoping with this being a Vibe specific forum I’d get better help than going to 12volt.com, but that hasn’t been the case. Sorry I offended you Slammniss

Re: Avital Remote Starter

Than you should know if you installed an entire system and it didn’t work you don’t unhook everything, you trouble shoot it, you don’t go back to the beginning. You write down everything you know and then start verifying circuits are getting the correct signals.

Re: Avital Remote Starter

Thanks Josh, I think I’ve got the unlock during remote start figured out but haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I pinned out the ignition switch and discovered there is also a small gauge White wire that goes high during crank so I’m going to try tying it to the remote start circuit. I saw some dia...

Re: Avital Remote Starter

No offense but I was hoping for a response from someone with a working knowledge of a remote start system. I don’t think it’s best to disconnect 16 circuits. We know the horn works, the lock unlock function from the fob works, the neutral safety circuit works, the hood switch works, the brake shut d...

I don't believe I hear a relay clicking when it's trying to conduct the start routine either.

Re: Avital Remote Starter

Didn't want to start a new post since the diagram is the same as mine, I thought this would be the best place. I'm installing a 4105 in a 2009 Base Vibe with a 2.4L. I've searched a lot of sites and am pretty certain I have all the circuits identified correctly. The lock and unlock buttons on the re...

Re: WTB: Engine Oil DipStick for 2.4L Vibe

Strike one on the GM parts giant...they voided my purchase stating the part was discontinued even though they have it listed.

Re: WTB: Engine Oil DipStick for 2.4L Vibe

Manual states 4.5 qts, but I thought there was a lot of discussion on this site that the manual wasn't correct. I filled it to just a hair over 4qts and plan on keeping an eye on it. I'll get the correct dipstick and use that fill level for the future.

Re: WTB: Engine Oil DipStick for 2.4L Vibe

I bought it and then noticed it had a “Ford” dipstick. Feel kind of stupid for not noticing before but I’d feel better if I knew I had the correct length dipstick in this engine.

Re: WTB: Engine Oil DipStick for 2.4L Vibe

Thanks, I couldn't find any salvage yards around me that had a singe Matrix nor Vibe on ground, but I totally forgot about the Corolla.

I must really stink at internet searches, because I never found those two parts providers. Thanks for the links. Really appreciate it.

2.4L Engine Oil DipStick

Anyone know if the engine oil dipstick on a Toyota Matrix 2.4L is the same (length and fit to tube) as a Vibe 2.4L? I bought a 2009 Vibe that someone lost the dipstick too; they installed some Ford one instead. It doesn't really fit the tube, nor do I think the length is correct. Any suggestions?

Part Pickup/Ship from Autonation West Sahara, LV to MI

Long shot, but I should know by Tuesday. I've got a small part (Engine oil dip stick) that I've located at AutoNation off West Sahara in LV. The dealer won't ship it to me directly, but I've got a dealer here in Michigan who is going to call them on Tuesday to see if they can get the part shipped to...
