Re: How Replace Driver Airbag Module

Its not dangerous at all! Just use common sense and be careful (don't play catch with the thing). Okay. I was thinking that was all there was to it. As a followup question.... what are the odds that I've a bad wiring harness to the module and not a bad module itself? I'm guessing the best way to fi...

How Replace Driver Airbag Module

Hello All! I kind of feel bad as the only time I show up here is when I have trouble with my car... which isn't often. :D My 2003 Vibe GT just had the airbag light come on. I had the dealer run their diagnostics and they came back saying I needed a new Drivers Side Airbag Module for just shy of a gr...

Front Door Checks

Sigh. Starting to get cracks in the driver's side A pillar near the top door hinge. Looks like its time to replace the long since broken door checks on my '03 GT. I went to the dealer to price them earlier today and nearly had a heart attack at their price. Any leads out there for alternate sources ...

Duct Tape and Zip Ties

A couple of years ago one of the kids was horsing around in the Vibe and popped it out of gear, whereupon it gently rolled forward into the trailer hitch in front of it. Kid was fine but the nose of the Vibe was broken.The lower grills got popped out and a couple of the attachment points were sheare...

I was glad to have the clutch replacement behind me. I got 190K out of the original one so I think I got my moneys worth out of it.Front end is starting to get a little looser than I remember - my mechanic says nothing to worry about up there yet. I'm thinking of some new struts and shocks all aroun...

Re: Dreaded EVAP system problem (keithvibe)

I had planned on going a 100 miles before taking it back to the shop. Kinda figured that the 'puter would track the mileage when the reset occurs.My main thing is to get the problem fixed at this point. Having a CEL light burning makes me a little nutty, especially as I don't have a code reader and ...

Re: Dreaded EVAP system problem (Sublimewind)

Thanks for the hints.Thought to try the easy thing first. Pulled the negative battery cable overnight to clear the codes and then vented the gas tank, checking the condition of the gas cap. Drove around town today without the CEL coming back on. Though, of course I drove 95 miles (about 6 short trip...

Re: Fuel door hinge problems? (themrfreeze)

I have the same problem with my '03 GT. Only one of the two hinges in mine have broken so far. I hit the other one with WD40 so it moves freely and so far it has not shown signs of failure.
