No, it's not right. And turn off your CAPS LOCK. There is no "DRL INDICATOR", there is a headlight indicator. It comes on when the headlights are on, along with the taillights. The light sensor is on the driver's side on top of the dash, it's a round "button" about the size of a...

I will have to search some more but there is a way to check the ABS codes without using a scanner, you have to read the flashes. If I remeber right you use a jumper wire on the OBD port. The AWD system is full time, basically a 70-30% split, I can tell this when mine engages on slippery intersectio...

I have an 04, and there is no DRL indicator on the dash, and the dash and tail lights do not light up in daylight either. When it gets dark, or if I cover the light sensor, the headlight indicator comes on, the dash lights dim and the tail lights are on. The only thing that's on during normal dayti...

Now the car is pissing me off its about the meet a tree, i remote start car everything works perfect, DRL come on and the icon pops on on dash, if i start car with key the headlights come on like they normally did but no tail lights, no DRL icon or heater control illumination, but if i turn headligh...

I HAVE 03 PONTIAC VIBE, I START CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS POP ON BUT TAIL LIGHTS AND CONTROL PANEL FOR HEATER DOESNT, EVEN THE DRL ICON DOESNT POP UP ON DASH? BUT IF I REMOTE START CAR EVERYTHING WORKS FINE? AND IF I MANUALLY TUN HEADLIGHT SWITCH FROM OFF TO MIDDLE ON POSITION, EVERYTHING WORKS, BUT WH...

Remote Starts have a variety of safety features built in. What model did you install? May need more programming, does it have the option to adjust run/idle time before shutoff? bought a CSPI SP-402 1-Way Combo Alarm, Keyless Entry and Remote Start System CRIME STOPPER im really not sure about run t...

After it shuts off does it attempt a restart. If so it may not sense the car is running. The unit I installed looks for small changes that would indicate a spinning alternator...or you could hookup a tach wire that feeds the tachometer. If you did the latter and you have a wire that is not sending ...

I just installed remote start/security system in my 03 vibe, everything seems to be working ok eccept when i remote start car, it starts up n only runs few seconds then shuts off and will keep repeating start mode til i step on brake pedal, any idea why it just shuts off?

Wondering what kind of splices you use to connect these cars. I used a process that bulldog suggested. remove wire casing and twist new wire into old. Never cutting the existing wiring. I also soldered some of the connections. Tape and small wire tie on the unsoldered ones. I have heard bad things ...

ABS will not engage i get this annoying clicking'ish sound when i apply brakes, they are all new around car Not trying to upset you here- the ABS not engaging is a much bigger problem than the AWD not functioning. AWD may get you moving in low traction conditions, but ABS helps you stop! :) Did you...

If it is guzzling gas that energy must go somewhere and convert into heat. You could drive it for 3 to 5 minutes. If possible stop the car without applying the brakes. Put it on jack stands and check if the transfer case, rear differential and rear brakes are excessively hot. There is a good chance...

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a brake error code that can be read using a Diagnostic Scan Tool with ABS. I wouldn't drive around long with undiagnosed brake problems... This is one scan tool w/ ABS (not saying you should buy it, but this has that feature for reference): http://www.amazon.com...

Again there doesn't appear to be any connection from the ABS to the Transfer case. Check your fluids brake, transfer case and rear diff. Also there is a fuse that if blown it will trip both lights IM ASSUMING FUSE IS UNDER HOOD? THEY LOOKED GOOD TO ME, I HAVE NO CLUE WHATS GOING ON WITH THIS DAMN C...

I thought the AWD first gen vibes were always on. The transfer case always spins the rear drivesharft. The rear drive shaft is connected to the rear differential by a "viscous coupling", a small oil filled can with a lot of impellers, some connected to the driveshaft side, some connected ...

Yes the AWD systems works independent of the ABS. There isn't any traction/stability control on the 03-06 AWD cars. Also the AWD isn't really a true AWD. It only engages when the front wheels slip. I suggest you get that checked out. It may just be a ABS sensor. Is your TPMS light on also? TPMS? i ...

I have 03 vibe base awd, will the awd still function with my abs and brake light on? It doesnt seem to be working or is it a slow engaging process? Any help please

i just bought 03 awd vibe, and got boned with po420 code, i bought new 02 sensor ''post cat'', then i got evap code, so bought new gas cap, evap went off, then o2 popped back on, the evap and 02, so i bought new vent selenoid, the light went off by itself, then couple miles later, BOOM, CEL popped o...
