#39 of 72 Anyone replaced the 3rd stop light bulb? by Luzer Jan 29, 2007 (11:57 am)
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 Replies to this message: Luzer (Jan 31, 2007 9:06 pm)

Replying to: Luzer (Jan 29, 2007 11:57 am) 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...

Replying to: pf_flyer (Sep 18, 2006 3:22 am) 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. Replies to this message: cindasagnes (Dec 29, 2007 12:43 pm)

Replying to: chuck1ch (Sep 28, 2006 12:11 pm) 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?
#45 of 72 need help! by whatthedeuce Nov 21, 2007 (9:22 pm)
just replaced the battery in 2003 vibe. i left the car running and removed the old battery (wont hold charge) and put the new battery in. i connected the negative lead. right before i connected the positive lead, the car stalled. positive lead was never grounded that i know of. now when i try to jump the car, i get a spark when connecting jumper cables across my battery, but i dont even get lights in the car. i used this same jumper cables and friends car to jump earlier in the day to go buy a battery, and it worked fine. i dont think its the alternator, because i should have lights anyway when jumped to friends battery. dont have enough money to get the car towed to a shop, so i want to try to fix this on my own. i have a good suspicion that its a fuse or grounding problem, but i dont know which it could be.

Replying to: airhead (Jul 13, 2005 5:06 pm) Yes I have 2003 Vibe and that just happened to me. The dealer said he would have to replace the radio.
#47 of 72 driver's door lock by koz39 Nov 25, 2007 (5:00 pm)
The driver's side door on my 04 vibe won't lock or unlock with the keyless entry. All the other doors will. Is this a common problem with the car? Do I need a new switch or is it as simple as getting a new battery for the remote? Any advice would be helpful. Replies to this message: tdavis44 (Oct 20, 2008 4:34 pm)
#48 of 72 blower trouble by rhenry27 Dec 13, 2007 (6:09 am)
Hi I have a 2004 PV all in all it has been a great car but yesterday the blower quit all of a sudden no noise no vibration just quit. I tried to find the fuse for the heater or defroster but it was not labeled in the owners manual or on the fuse covers. I don't know if that is the problem or not. If anyone has had this problem I would certainly like to hear your suggestions. Replies to this message: makinhay (Aug 23, 2009 6:47 pm)
