Re: Wouldn't Start, Now Won't Turn Over! (robb)

I went through the fuses and found that there was also a blown 15A EFI fuse and 15A Dome fuse under the hood as well as the 15A AM2 fuse under the dash. After replacing them all the car cranked right up! Excellent. I think it was the 15A EFI which was causing the problem. I suspect somebody either j...

Re: Wouldn't Start, Now Won't Turn Over! (robb)

Ok, I got the 100A fuse replaced. They replaced it before because they told me it was melted. I wanted to pull it just to look at it since I knew they had fiddled with it when I accidentally broke it. It is possible someone reversed the cables while attempting to jump it I suppose. What would that c...

Re: Wouldn't Start, Now Won't Turn Over! (robb)

I agree. Since I was able to get the starter to spin by jumping the wires (i think that is what it was) it is whatever tells the starter to operate. That is why I was asking if the starter relay could cause this, or what else could it be?Additionally I find it peculiar that the car was able to turn ...

Re: Wouldn't Start, Now Won't Turn Over! (cq358)

No, the car does not turn over.The battery is new.The 100A fuse is labeled as ALT under the hood and was replaced because it had melted I was told.I have yet to check the fuel pump, but if it is not turning over that can not be the issue.The temperature here is 20-24 degrees CNo remote start or alar...

Wouldn't Start, Now Won't Turn Over! FIXED!!

While I was deployled my wife'e 04 Vibe with automatic trans stopped working. One morning it would turn over slowly but not start, until the battery died. She took the battery out and took it to autozone, they checked it, and sold her a new one. A friend of hers put the new battery in and after that...

Re: Door Handle Interchange (robb)

I received my 2001-2009 Toyota RAV4 door handle in the mail yesterday and it looked just like my handles aside from it being somewhat shiny. I read up on disassembly/assembly of the door handle and installed it in just a few minutes. It fits perfectly and works great! So as far as I can tell the Cam...

Re: 2003 drivers side window issue... (robb)

Just an interesting side note:When they told me they wouldn't fix it under the recall and quoted me a price I believe the regulator with motor was something like $427 (wow). I said that I could hear my window motor when the switch was pressed and asked if the regulator could be purchased seperately....

Re: 2003 drivers side window issue... (ToolGuy)

I just purchased a 2004 Vibe which had the driver's window wedged up; it was no longer connected to the regulator at all, the plastic clips (they called them window sashes) were broken. The recall had not been performed so I took it to the local Pontiac dealership and they looked at it. The driver's...

Re: U-Haul Hitch? (genki)

Mine is a uhaul branded hitch, you can kind of see it in the picture. I have not used it but the previous owner told me he pulled a small uhaul trailer from michigan to texas with it with no problems.

Re: Bought a Vibe (robb)

The guy said the tailpipe was factory, I don't really know, and the hitch is uhaul I believe. Not sure that I will ever make use of it, but its nice to have the option to do so. The postings I read here on the bulbs used in the car and disassembly of the center console were very useful. I had to rep...

Door Handle Interchange

My passenger door exterior handle is broken off. It looks like the exterior handles from the Matrix, Camry, Corolla, Hilux, Highlander, and RAV4 are all the same as my Vibe's handle. I am not sure if the inner workings are the same though. Can anyone confirm if these are all interchangable? If so I ...

Bought a Vibe

Hello,About a month ago I found a 2004 Vibe on craigslist and ended up getting it for my girlfriend for $2600. It is Neptune Blue, automatic transmission, and has a couple little dings in it. It has 150,000 miles but runs great and doesn't leak anything. She has cleaned it up (was sooooo filthy) and...

Roof Rack Interchange?

I am looking for the right rear plastic cap on the roof rack and found one from a 2005 Vibe (shown in pic). Anyone know if this will fit my 2004? Thanks for any help.
