Thorsham,
 
I heard a crunching noise in the shifter about a year ago which lasted about a week or so. Then I noticed no light in the gear shift letters. Posted are request for help then. No one has come up with a simple repair.

Electric door lock problem by spwhitehurst
Jan 07, 2007 (3:09 pm)

We have a 2000 Pontiac Vibe. Recently, three of four electric door locks quit working. The only one that works is the driver's door. We tried replacing the battery in the keys, but it didn't help. From inside the car, when we push the button on the door to lock the doors, again, only the driver's door works.
 
Any ideas?

Anyone try replacing this bulb yet?
I have the 2003 Vibe with 74k miles....
 
Here's what I did.
Looked at owners manual.
 
Take off the black cover - you press the smaller middle part on the fasteners and the outer part come out, I learned this on my old COrolla years back, and the Vibe manual do not tell you.
 
I remove the two screws.
 
NOW, I try to take off the light asembly as shown in the manual, and I can't pry this off!!
 
- I used a butter knive around some of the edges, but the plastic looks like it will crack.
 
- I pull on both sides with equal pressure - and still think I wil crack it.
 
I cannot see anymore clips etc.
 
Please help me replace the 3rd stop light bulb aka stop light buld aka high mount on the hatch stop light bulb.
 
Bulb info -
Center High Mounted Stop Light Part number = 921

OK - So I'll reply to my own posted question....
 
After taking off the black overcover, I used a screwdriver and pried up the little red tabs and voila, the red cover came off, the bulb was replaced...last step - throw out the owners manual...

Has anyone had to change a fuse for the instrument panel, specifically the CD/Radio? My friend plugged her car cell phone charger into the cigarette lighter on the dash and then the cd/radio went dead. The cd player will still eject cds though and the clock lights up when a button is pressed. In my user manual it says that the fuse box for the instrument panel is below the instrument panel, but neither I or my fiancé could find it. It seems like such an easy small thing to change that I don't really want to take it to the shop unless I have to.

Has anyone ever replaced light bulb from the reading light by moonroof? There's a screw and I unscrewed it but wasn't able to remove plastic cover.

Thorsham,
I have that crunching noise also and it happens on and off. More on that off. I thought something was stuck in or was caught in the shifting column. Now my light as gone black also. Very strange and I have not taken to a dealer to look at because I thought it might be a fuse.
Have you had any luck?
