Re: 2009 Pontiac Vibe with reoccuring low/rough idle (and other symptoms)

Fixed!!!! The electrical connection to the #3 fuel injector failed and moisture was getting into the connection causing the intermittent misfire problem. The Mechanic only found it by lifting the injector wiring which would cause a good contact and the engine would quit starving for gasoline. He ind...

Re: 2009 Pontiac Vibe with reoccuring low/rough idle (and other symptoms)

Exactly the conditions of my 2009 2.4 Base, 85,000 miles. The Traction Control light is on and the CEL and VSC blink intermittently with a rough idle and barely enough acceleration to get the car home (no backfire but the car shutters when the gas petal is held in a constant position). Codes are P30...

Takata airbag replacement electrical problems afterwards.

I recently had the Takata Passenger airbag replaced on my 2009 Vibe 2.4 Base and now the horn does not work - coincidence? I used the horn (deer in road) on the way to the GM Dealer so I know it worked that morning. I checked the fuse - good. I connected the horn directly to the batterly - it beeped...

Re: Roger Biebl New Member 2009 2.4 Vibe Base

WOW! Superb information! I will replace the horn relay and if that does not work, then I will ask the dealer that replaced the Takata Airbag if that work could affect the horn which has not worked since the airbag was replaced. Thank you for your time. The Vibes (3) I bought from Consumer Reports re...

Re: 2009 Vibe 2.4 Base Horn Relay Location?

Thank YOU for your time!!! I suspected that Northland Chevrolet of Superior, WI caused the horn problems when they changed the Takata airbag and purposely led me away from the actual cause. In either case, they won't stand behind their work. I am going to write to Takata to see if there have been an...

I have had three Vibes, two have totally paid for themselves as my territory is Montana to Milwaukee, WI for the railroad. The least maintenance cars I have ever owned. However, I cannot find the horn relay location? Maybe somebody can help? (see my previous chat).

2009 Vibe 2.4 Base Horn Relay Location?

I recently had the Takata Passenger airbag replaced and now the horn does not work. I swapped the fuse (# 33 in the owners manual) with the spare - both looked viable. I connected the horn directly to the battery and it beeped. When I depress the steering wheel horn, I do not hear the typical relay ...
