Re: 03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

Here is the conclusion to the saga: I went to the dealer and explained everything I had done. He said they would troubleshoot my problem, so I got a cup of coffee and relaxed. The original DRL module was bad, so I'm glad I got the new one. However, there was a bad parking light. I'll post a picture ...

Re: 03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

WORST CASE...it pretty much happened. I got the DRL module in early. I unhooked the battery. I put in a new TAIL fuse, then put in the DRL module. The battery was hooked back up and I slowly turned to key, but only for the ACC. I didn't want the car to turnover and not hear what was happening. So I ...

Re: 03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

I took today to check the fuses with a multimeter that has an audible continuity setting. All fuses under the hood are fine. All fuses near the steering column are fine. I also checked all of the smaller relays above the glovebox and the relays under the hood. I have a picture below showing my metho...

Re: 03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

ANOTHER ADDITION TO MY STORY: The stereo didn't seem to be intruding on anything, so I didn't disconnect it at all. After blowing my last fuse I bought at 4am I'm waiting til an auto parts store opens to get more. I do have possibly good news as to a solution. My final check was the DRL module. It a...

Re: 03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

UPDATE: I switched what is supposed to be the TAIL relay with the one next to it, assuming it was good since I haven't had any issues til now and it seems to just affect the parts related to the TAIL fuse. The TAIL relay being the 2nd relay in from the passenger above the glovebox. I also switched t...

Re: 03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

I would check your headlight relay. I do not know which one it is but most likely the culprit. The relay heats up and it will shut off your lights. Once it cools down the lights come back on. IIRC also there was a TSB for the DRL module on NHSTA. I would check that first. Thanks for the post. I'll ...

Re: 03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

Upon further inspection I found a blown TAIL fuse. Replaced it, then heard it blow the second the car started. I've found some good info in these threads. I'm still reading, but I'm not sure how long I'll keep working in the rain. Also, I do have an aftermarket stereo deck, but it's been in for a ye...

03 Vibe Automatic Lights Not Working

First post, debated on where to post. I ended up in here. I've searched around, but I can't find the answer. My automatic lights stopped working while I was driving to work this morning. The little green dash light went off. The DRLs still worked fine. The dimmer dial allows me to turn on and off th...
