Re: Did I ruin my compressor?

New compressor came in the mail from Amazon. Picked up a fresh accumulator at the local parts store. Both have been in now for almost a month with the a/c still blowin' cold. If anyone needs an a/c clutch let me know. I'll sell it for half of what I paid.

Re: Did I ruin my compressor?

Yeah, I have a set of gauges along with a gauge on one of the bottle piercers. I connected it and got ZERO! You can squeeze the upper hose it's so low.I have one of the Harbor Freight air pressure powered vacuums that I can use to vacuum down the system. Sure sounds like I need to order the compress...

Did I ruin my compressor?

I found the instruction for a/c compressor clutch replacement and quickly realized that was the source of my problem. I supplied 12v direct to the compressor pigtail (with an insulated wire with an inline fuse) and got nothing. I got the swash plate off easy enough, but the pulley gave me trouble. I...

Re: (Sublimewind)

Turns out the problem was further reaching than I originally thought.I didn't know that my driving lights were out as well until I got pulled over! I then found that the "rear lights" fuse was blown. Thanks to another post about downloading the factory service manual, I was able to trace a...

gauge lights always full bright, rest of dash not lit at all

I just bought a 2003 Vibe GT and for the most part I'm happy with it. Previous owner took everything out of the cargo area so I'm piecing that back together.My problem is the dash and gauge lights. The HVA/C and radio lights will not come on at all (except for the time/station window). At the same t...

Re: Steering wheel shake at 60mph (Kamikaze)

I'm new to the forum after buying a 2003 Vibe GT and I have the same problem. I can't help but to wonder if the wheel might be out of round or the hub/stud plate isn't exactly perpendicular to the outside edges. I think a "tire balancer" can get a tire/wheel combo "balanced" even...
