03 Base Vibe Parts wanted

Post by 03StonesVibe »

Looking for an A/C compressor and an instrument cluster (all dashlights are dark) for my baby, 03 satellite with $240k+ miles. Been told that it might be time for a new vehicle, but I am not ready! Having a hard time finding these parts. :o Anyone have any ideas? I don't really have any good pics of the car...but I am original owner so all of those miles are mine!

http://www.car-part.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is probably the best place to look if no one on here has it. Many of the salvage yards will ship if you are not close to them. I saw compressors for $125 and clusters for $75 in MD and even cheaper from other places. Compressors from $45 and clusters from $40.

Good luck!

I have a cluster from an 03. From when I swapped mine to the 04 style.

The only problem with it is the needles are removed. I found that if you do this is is not as simple as sticking them back on. I had to fiddle around with needle positions. The gas was the hardest to get dialed back in.

If you willing to work with it, I will sell it cheap.
