I've heard it can occur at completely random mileages. Some early on, some much later. Mine occurred around 89k. I meant to post follow up pictures as I took the actuator apart and the main gear that moves the fresh/recirculate door open and closed was missing 2 teeth out of the gear. But, I threw i...

I fixed it. Go here for information: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=29575

To all of those who have had the flapping noise happening behind the passenger side of the dash when the fresh air is selected on the hvac (and the noise goes away when you switch to recirculate), I have fixed it. Thanks to this forum (I forgot who posted the actual part number) but I went to http:/...

tothebone

Is that the thing in the door or the thing on the 'jamb' that the door latches on to?

tothebone

Bueler? Anyone?

tothebone

I have a 2003 vibe, bought it used from carmax. I love it to death but there are a few rattles that have developed that drive me up the wall. The one that pains me the most, I thought was in the b pillar between the front and back passenger doors. After thoroughly destroying the plastics several tim...

tothebone

what do you think abou this?http://www.accessafuse.com/

tothebone

I wonder if LED's draw more power than neons.... hmmm?

tothebone

Yeah, I know, it doesnt really make sense. I am the master of bizarre stuff like that. But thanks to you guys I have a few ideas to go on. Ill keep you posted....

tothebone

it does, i just suck at drawing diagrams and terrible luck when it comes to these things... Thanks for the help!

tothebone

naw, got em off ebay, they just came in bubble wrap. The cant draw that much power, you can only see them at night. One last question.... Does that gadget 10 amps max total for both or 10 max in each?

tothebone

so, just pull out the cig fuse, pop that bad boy in and wire away? is 10 amps sufficient for two little neon lights? If so, that may be the easiest solution. I may stick with the switch in the dash as its right above the fuse block and I wouldnt have to run so much wire. Great idea though, you haven...

tothebone

Here is a quick drawing of how I attempted to wire it Basically I cut the pos and negative of the cig lighter right before the little harness that plugs in the back. I attached the pos and neg of the lights to the source, then reconnected the harness as well. The positive went to the switch and back...

tothebone

I have two 10 inch neon lights that at presently are hanging under the dash illuminating the driver and pasengers feet, merely plugged into the cigarette lighter port. I want to hard wire it to a switch in the empty slot in neat the security/coin/ trunk release area. I already have the switch from t...

tothebone

Actually, mine unlocks all doors with one pulse. I havent had a chance to try to reprogram it yet to see if it will work the other way. On mine you push the button once, the driver door opens and then a second later the rest do without pressing the button again. SInce its real darned cold here and I...

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish Â»My climate control only works depending on how the dials are set when I leave the car. What I normally do is set the fan to high, mode to defrost/floor, and temp to hottest, so when I RS the car, it's all toasty when I get out to it.But it doesn't kick in the...

tothebone

I friggin told em to do that but they launched into a tirade about this wonderful 4th button that is required for the single door/all door thing...... looks like Imma pop the dash off to see if I can see the LED for some reprogramming... Thanks... AGAIN!

tothebone

it appears that there is a delay from the press of a button, click, then the all four door thunk. I will have to check again and see. So if that IS the case, it can be switched to the two pulse thing and we're good?

tothebone

Im assuming that if I disconnect the battery to work on something and then re connect it--- with the hoodpin switch, it shouldnt start right? As far as the door thingy, you dont think that is something that the configuration could fix? Im not TOO worried about it, but it was kinda nice doing the sta...

tothebone

OK. Back from the shop. Got the hood pin switch fixed. They just remounted it. It was on a bracket that had a little ledge on it and it wasnt making good ground. Now it is. I also noticed that when the starter was running, the vents didnt blow, no climate control. That kinda defeats the purpose of t...

tothebone

They attached it to the bracket in the front of the engine compartment that looks like it holds a AC line. Would you also suggest to have them install the on/off switch? Would the toyota fog lamp switch work? An on off is an on off right?

tothebone

few days, nuthin, it was installed TODAY!

tothebone

Cool. Its a reputable shop, Im thinking I am just being paranoid...but they should have at least confirmed that the hoodpin worked. I have switches up the wazoo now. I originally got the toyota one for the auto headlight bypass trick, but I may use it for the starter instead, or maybe not at all. Wh...

tothebone

I was just going over those in the manual. I reckon I could just have the install guy set things the way I want them since I cant see the unit and hope I like it that way..... I definately want the driver door first (one pulse) and the parking lights to stay on.... blinky things bug me sometimes. I ...

tothebone

I noticed the wires for the brain, but it seems that they placed it ontop of the fuse box. You cant really see the darned thing. Looks like I may have to pull the steering colum cover off to see the LED. Either that or make the installed reprogram it for me... Ha! You said that it can be programmed ...

tothebone

I'll do that. I even have the toyota fog lamp switch. I asked them to use that as the toggle switch and like i said before...they said I didnt need it. Let me ask you this.... If I have the toggle switch on the dask, all my spots are used up...(i have the trunk release, coin thing and security) wher...

tothebone

I meant the on/off toggle switch.... but then again they might not have installed the valet/program switch either as I cant find it! But I am going back on monday so I will bi-tch (it edited the real word the first time) much then and ask then what the hell that wire is.... maybe I SHOULD have tried...

tothebone

Alright, Im a puss. I wimped out and had the starter put in by a local car shop.... So I suck. I have the worlds worst luck and I didnt want it to ruin the integrity of my cars electronics. The cool thing is I have to take it back on Monday as the hoodpin switch doesnt work.... that is kinda importa...

tothebone

Anyone know if you can use a PF54 oil filter for the base vibe? Any info would be appreciated.

tothebone

Thats cool. Solder huh? Always fun. How much of a pain is it going to be to solder in the car? Do I need a multimeter?

tothebone

Ok, the starter SHOULD be delivered today. Any word on the install instructions? Are there any other specialty tools I will need beyond the obvious?

tothebone

so the buttons are start /stop, lock/unlock and an Aux? is the lock unlock staged like the factory remote? Driver door then all doors including trunk? If the 3rd could do the defrost, that would be cool, but dont kill yourself. What ever is easier for you, I'm not that pressed. Thanks again! I'll ke...

tothebone

That's good to hear. I just won a rattler of my own on ebay! Jahntassa, wanna try for 3 out of 3?

tothebone

Heres The one from target.... looks like a no name brand. http://images.amazon.com/image..._.jpgI saw the boa on cardomain http://www.cardomain.com/item/DEI265BI seem to be winning one of the auctions on ebay for a rattler.... Lets see what happens!

tothebone

Jahntassa has. A Viper if I'm not mistaken.

tothebone

Is there anything you don't know? Although the boa is lower on the scale, do you think it is adequate? Thanks again. I'll keep you posted as to which one I get. Maybe I'll post pictures of the install.

tothebone

I was thinking about a remote starter. I noticed that Jahntassa and others recomended the Rattler 369d for ease of installation and reliabilty, etc... These are on ebay as opened boxes and looks like they are the older ones before DEI started using the internal relays. The question is, is the BOA 26...

tothebone

Damn you know a lot of stuff. Yes it was Moon and Tunes and I reckon I don't need to worry any more. Thanks a million.

tothebone

I noticed when I unplugged the harness out of the back of the factory stereo there were two harnesses. The main on with all the wires and one smaller one with one white wire attached to it. I didnt hook that back up becasue I didnt have a kit for it. The new HU funtions fine, the tweeters are workin...

tothebone

The things did seem to get stuffed in there pretty good. I have to take it all out again to adjust the converter (too low). Thanks for the peice of mind. Its amazing how crappy factory speakers are. I didn't really notice until the new HU. Thanks again...

tothebone

I just installed an aftermarket HU with my 2003 vibe. I got the scosche bracket, wireing harness and the FAI-3 (I think) line level converter. I got everything in and everything, and its working. I installed the line level converter between the wiring harness from the stereo and the factory harness....
