door lock/unlock system

[Dan]

I have a Vibe since August 23 without (sadly) the power package. I would like to put the door lock/unlock system next spring but I have a question. I would like to know what kind of motor the door lock/unlock system use in each door because I don't know with one I shoul buy. Is it the standard GM motor (like the motor in the sunfinre / cavalier) or is it a motor like the one in the Corolla or the Rav4 (Toyota) Thanks

Do not buy the dealer motor. It will cost you an arm. Go to a place who sold aftermarker part as remote car engine starter and ask then for a standart door lock pump. It will cost you about 15-20$ each.

(Buy my kit in a place who sold aftermarket stuff) I even think to buy my stuff on-line (e-bay).. it's not very expensive there either.. That's why I wanted to know what's exactly the motor. Is it a GM or a Toyota motor ? I think that is a GM (since the speaker and the radio are from GM too) but I'm not sure because all the electrical so far that I've see is like Toyota. I didn't open my inside door yet, so I don't know !

This sounds way too difficult. Best of luck.

Yikes! Big job....Hope you are a patient guy. Put an order in now for a Vibe the way you want it and you will have it for the spring...or summer....or fall....or Christmas.

I saw the wiring diagram and at teh top of the page it is written: Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix, Pontiac Vibe. Plus, the button coming with the power package are Toyota.

Thanks for your answer Sub-Vibe. I will double check later on to see if the motor is really a toyota model !
