Hi joatmon,Thanks for the great post full of ideas. I will go thru all of them to try to weed out the problem.I disconnected the sensor on the dash to no effect....Quote, originally posted by joatmon Â»There are three main components that might be a problem: the headlight switch, the daytime running...

Browsed the site a bit and did not see this issue posted, help me if you can.1. Headlights turn on brighter automatically at dusk, but running/parking lights do not turn on at all unless I manually turn headlight switch on to either of the 2 on positions.

Will it make my Base Auto A LOT faster?How about WEAR on the tranny?Oh well, YEAH I WILL!! Got a bonus paycheck coming soon... its only money!!!Will I need to use Premium fuel????

Strobo43

I have the Ventshade and love it, Installs with 4 push-in clips that match factory holes on the underside front edge of the hood,

Strobo43

What bigger size would fit our cars and do a good job?

Strobo43

OK, I understand that about splicing in a HOT wire and fusing it. So where is a good place to hook into a hot wire without goint to the battery, or that the best?? Is there an easy way to run a wire from the fusebox that is already fused and on all the time?

Strobo43

Does anyone know if we can change the 110 V and/or the accessory 12V outlets to stay on with the ignition OFF?My old Caravan had a relay to add into the fuse box that allowed one to have power on at ALL times.

Strobo43

I use mine for recharging camera batteries and the laptop.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33597&item=2415509040In reading the descripton and the seller's feedback, this seems to be just a common resistor added to or replacing the sensor on the air intake.I wonder if it really gives much improvement as they also tel...

Another thing is to make sure you turn engine off when refueling. That fixed my CEL problem!!

After noticing a cip on the edge of my door, I ordered my Ventshade stone deflector from Advance autoparts yesterday. It will be here on Tuesday! 495 miles and no stone chips up front yet ... 2 more days...

Strobo43

That is great you got it back. So what had to be fixed and and was it covered by dealer?

Strobo43

WOW, sorry, I did not realize how tired I was last night. the chip is on the edge of my DOOR, Advance Autoparts does NOT stock Vibe paint, and the Bug/Stone guard is mase by Adventon.com which I ordered(not in stock) from Advance autoparts ($40.00) "Got my first chip on edge of day.. 3 weeks ol...

Strobo43

Got my first chip on edge of day.. 3 weeks old and 475 miles. Checked for paint at Advance Autoparts today when i ordered my Advanstar stone guard, no colors list for Vibe yet....Is the dealer the only choice?

Strobo43

are our car colors available in spray cans at any auto parts store? My Lava?

Strobo43

would you paint the clear? or leave it alone?

Strobo43

Dealer told me to make sure the engine is turned OFF when you refuel, because the vacuum in the gastank recirculation hose sucks too much and sets the CEL sensor off. If so it should turn off in a few hundred miles....Of course, I would stop and turn the engine off immediatly and check all my fluids...

Strobo43

WOW, only got 400 miles on odo... this will SUCK if my 23k miles per year are going to result in chips and rust all over ... my girlfriends new Focus is looking better.. wanted that ZX5 until i spotted the Vibe/Matrix.I hate the way the bras look and had a deflector on my Astro Van 15 yrs ago and di...

Seems like they are similar, I want the best available.What are the pluses and minuses of both?Which do you have? would you buy it again or another? What kind is best and why?Is there a better one?

Strobo43

(removed)!!!ROTFLMAF!!!!!!Thanks,

Strobo43

Not yet.. Sounds funny. We need a KOOL Vibe comercial!!!

Strobo43

Had ABS on 2 cars for past 7-19 yrs. They worked, but these were alot bigger than the Vibe is.I choose NO abs only because all the Vibes with had been sold the night before!!!!! I feel they are not all that neccesary to a SAFE driver....

Strobo43
