Necro but... Just had a locksmith fix this issue (can't lock door w/ key) in my driver's door lock on my 2004 Vibe. Issue was a worn key along with grime in the cylinder. Removing the cylinder from the door was dead simple; the locksmith just popped the rubber cap from the side of the door nearest t...

Excellent work on the how-to! 8-) I did this a couple years ago using four new TRQ's. I like that they had the different ones for left vs right for the front so there was no need to modify. Some of them squeak, some pop right before the door is fully open. But they stop the doors unlike the worn ou...

Been 2 more weeks and the Toyota 90981-11018 bulb hasn't fallen out. Driven the car over 100 miles in that time.

Nice write up! ;) I just realized how bad, or totally gone, my drivers door is! :o May have to undertake this task real soon too! This was not a tough job :) I should have redone all the butyl while I was in there... I redid the butyl when I did the driver's door check a few years ago. Be careful w...

Ok! Got the job done yesterday. Getting the rear back in took me about another hour. You have to work it through the inflexible spider web of cables and hoses where the air box and cruise control unit were, then pass it back through the mounting bracket. I had to get the top of it under the throttle...

Necro but I just pulled the rear motor mount out on my '04. That was a bear. Tried for about 2 hours last night and decided to give it one more go this morning... You *must* remove the air intake and battery and relocate the cruise control module up and to the left. I also unbolted the cruise contro...

Now you just have to lift back the sheathing, grab the inside of the door check (reach through the hole in the door frame) and loosen the top door bolt the rest of the way. 16_Pull_back_sheathing_small.jpg There's the old check, removed!: 17_Remove_old_check.jpg Slide the new check back into the sam...

I then disconnected my speaker plug so that it wouldn't be in the way of the plastic sheathing when lifted: 11_Disconnect_Speaker.jpg I ended up using a breaker bar and deep socket 10mm on the doorwell bolt to break it free. 12_10MM_Breaker_on_doorwell.jpg Once free you'll see that the original bolt...

You can see the body clip in the panel here near the latch. I placed my pry tool right next to it and applied a fair amount of force. You'll have to repeat this all along the edge of the panel until all the clips are free: 6_Door_Panel_Clip_Side_View.jpg Once all the body panel clips have been poppe...

I couldn't find any instructions on how to replace the driver's side rear door check on my 2004 Vibe, so I took some pictures and I'll post them here to help others. For removing the rear door panel this video on replacing a rear door handle is very useful. This is *extremely* similar to the front d...

Necro but this thread came up when I researched replacement. I have a 2004 Vibe and I used a Toyota bulb with the part number 90981-11018. Bulb was $3 ordered from my local dealership. I tried a Sylvania 2723 first and it dislodged within about 10 minutes of installation :P. Another user suggested t...

Necroing this thread because I have some more helpful info. Just swapped these bulbs in my 2004 vibe over the weekend and it was a pain. I am upgrading the stereo in the car so I figured this was the right time to do it. Can confirm that the 90072-02005 part number works in my '04; I ordered OEM bul...

I found these OEM terminals on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Toyota-90982-06022-Terminal-Assembly/dp/B00P2RZ8TE/ The fitment info indicates that they won't work on my vibe, but they look almost identical to what's on there right now. Does anyone have a Toyota or Pontiac part number for this...

Any recommendations on a replacement part? Thanks much!

My current terminal clamps are so corroded that trying to loosen the bolt is like peeling a can of sardines - the metal is bending when I apply torque. I'd love some OEM terminal clamps but can't seem to find them. Any recommendations on parts and how to perform the procedure? Google has been less t...

Need to replace burnt out lights behind my control dials near the shifter in my '04 vibe. This youtubr video shows pretty clearly how I should remove my trim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECHAoRYZXJY The answer listed here http://www.justanswer.com/pontiac/69l5y-pontiac-vibe-awd-change-burned-das...

Hey!

Just reset my user password using the forgot password link but I cannot find a "change password" link anywhere... Help appreciated!

This is a wild guess, but I don't think you would be able to directly connect a flash drive into the aux connector. The aux connector is most likely an analog-only signal input, and would not have the necessary hardware or software to communicate with a flash drive or decode the files you have store...

You may have already done your upgrade, but here is a synopsis of the things I found out while upgrading my 2004 vibe. Head to the last post in this topic to get my summary:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=41358You will need to buy a double-din adapter for your head unit - a place like crutch...

Thanks for the replies! I snaked the cable through the weather stripping next to the pillar and then across to the hinge that attaches the sun visor. Worked quite well

Ok - my install is done now I wanted to put some super, super noob tips up - this was the first time I'd ever installed, so I figure it might be handy to someone in my position next time.1. The factory brackets on the factory unit stay on the unit; don't try to adapt them to the new head unit. 2. Ge...

Thanks!I was able to see the wire through the flaps by the e-brake, but I really couldn't trace it out to a point where I was comfortable.Ended up doing the 12v relay bypass instead. Apparently this particular head unit (pioneer AVH-3200bt) needs the park brake sensor to have no ground, then become ...

My installation saga continues as the sun fades on my driveway...Which wire is the parking brake signal wire? I need to tap into it so that my new head unit will allow me to play movies while in park.I know it can be bypassed with a switch and all that jazz, but at the moment I am just trying to get...

Excellent!Thanks for the fast reply

2004 Vibe Nav system head unit - I am trying to get it out of the car and I can't seem to get this cable out. Don't want to force things...

The nav unit is in good shape, the paint on the seek button (up/down) is a little worn off, but that's it.I would imagine that the GPS receiver would also have to be removed? Getting the dash out might be a bit beyond my capability... lol.Up in the air at the moment anyway

Haven't determined what to do with the old head unit yet... at this point the car is still "my parents" and I'm waiting on my father for the dotted line to sign... You'd think he doesn't want the money! 15,000 miles later and I'm still waiting.So until that is resolved the old head unit wi...

BTW, it is a 2004 pontiac vibe that currently has the Nav system & 6 disc changer

All,Just got a Pioneer AVH-3200 BT head unit and I am going to try to do the install tonight.It has built in bluetooth and can sync with my phone; I need to run the microphone up to my sun visor and I have never done a head unit install in my life... lol.Hoping for recommendations on running the mic...
