I had a 2005 vibe and recently got a 2003 to replace it as it was totaled. So I am familiar with them, but this is a new problem for me.
The 2003 was low mileage and everything was fine until last night. I realized both my headlights (high and low beam and fog lights were not working. I knew the were all working fine just the day before. The high beams also did both work with the momentary switch when i push or pull on the stalk.
I eventually played with the three position switch on the stalk and found one that would turn them all on. I thought maybe I had just put it is some other position by mistake and that would solve my problem. They are lit up fine. However, when I got home and parked I realized it was a manual on position and they stayed on even if I turned the car off.
I had been playing around with the rotary switch to turn the dome light on that is also used to dim the dashboard lights earlier. I don't see how this would have anything to do with it, but thought I'd mention it.
I'll take a look again later today in the light. I did some searches on this and found issues regarding daytime running lights and the sensors for them and I suppose this could be involved, but they didn't appear to be on at all, not just stuck in a low setting. Given this was the first year these cars were made I was surprised I not to find any postings with this same issue. Maybe the issue was resolved early.
Anyone have any ideas what to check first? My first thought was the relay or relays, but at least in the manual mode they all work fine and the high beams work with the momentary switch.
TIA
