He said it is under the dash. I did not get to keep the old one. Not sure what it looks like. He said it conrols the ground to all the curcuits in the car. Apparently what I hit the power locks with the positive voltage instead of the negative it required, it shorted out that controller causing nume...

The Vibe is all better. The dealer replaced the body controller and finished hooking up the remote starter. Everything is all buttoned up and rolling like new again. The controller box is about 400.00 he said. Lesson learned; if you don't have the complete wire schematic of the car your working on, ...

Well, it went to the dealer last night and spent the night. He called me about 45 minutes after we dropped it off telling me that the "body controller" was shorted out and needed to be replaced. He said it is what controls the ground throughout the car. Now I understand how these different...

I did not unhook the neg cable but I did the pos cable for about 30 minutes. I was thinking the same thing but still the same. It went to the dealer today to set up appointment. From the sound of the service guy he has seen it many many times before. He even asked if the hatch release kept clicking....

The RS pulsed it with 12v I checked all fuses under hood and dash and did not see any bad ones. When I removed the "Integrated reley box" from under the dash the hatch lock quit clicking so I am thinking maybe I blew that. It is going to the dealer tomarrow. I guess I will find out what ha...

I can start the car with either the key or remote as long as the remote starter is hooked up. As far as the door locks go, even if I unplug the door lock wire harness at the kick panel (blue plug) I still cannot use the manual knob to lock the door, or even the key. Seems very strange to me.

ok, so I was installing a remote starter on a vibe yesterday. Got the starter to work very easily actually. I then hooked up the hatch release and that worked flawlessly also. It was starting to get late and I started working on the door locks. I misread the information and hooked up the lock wires ...
