Re: 03 Vibe Alternator Dying?

Thanks for the suggestions. Should the battery voltage be measured with the engine off, or running? I will see what I can find for ground wires.

03 Vibe Alternator Dying?

Our beloved '03 AWD Vibe has been having some odd electrical problems lately. A couple of weeks ago, the headlights would dim when ever an electrical load was changed. Most often that was when I applied the brakes, but also noticed it when I changed the HVAC blower setting. I also noticed that the e...

03 Vibe AWD CV Shaft Replacement

What does it take to replace the RH (passemger side) CV shaft? I screwed up the threads reinstalling the nut after getting the bearing replaced. I see that I can get a new/reman shaft for $80 ish.

Re: Ticking noise & A/C blower motor (ColonelPanic)

I'll check for something in there, but the ticking noise occurs when the fan is turned off also. My wife said it sounded like a dripping noise, so I though it was something with the heater core, but no wet spots on the carpet. My fisrt test was to see if the dripping noise happened when the engine w...

Ticking noise & A/C blower motor

My 2003 AWD Vibe is making a ticking noise from somewhere near the glove box. The noise is also consistent with a variation in the speed of the A/C blower motor. I am guessing that it is related to the resistor bank that seems to have failed on every vehicle that I have owned recently. I would love ...
