2005 Pontiac Vibe 1.8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

this is called a parasitic drain. It could be a trunk or glovebox light that isnt turning off.

Your vehicle computer needs to relearn because of the loss of power to the ECU. Once your car goes through the drive cycle, things should calm down. I think your Tail light may either be a coincidence or you neglected to put a ground wire on...

The wiper relay in a Pontiac Vibe is located in the under hood fuse box. With the ignition in the ON position, accessory voltage is supplied through the 25A WPR fuse to the WIPER relay, the WIPER HI relay and the WSH relay that are all located in the underhood fuse block.

could be body control module

you can try out some guide from here reliable-store they also provide live cha t feature for instant help and it's very useful

you found the right place buddy.. i know a lot of websites for repairs and manuals that can really help u.. like reliable-store is pretty good

Brake pads to rotor ,metal to metal ?

I take help from online websites that have this service like helping in repair some like reliable-store have instant help.. others are a bit slow which I don't prefer... rest is up to u.. U can also get free manuals

most likely you will need to break it done anyway. You will most likely find you have to replace the water pump.

Its on the turn signal stalk with the headlight control if your car is equipped with them.

You got front wheel bearing noise you have to replace one or both wheel bearings.

i don't know - i am guessing heater/AC vents stuck, connection to dash control lost or gate jammed. eg. pencil or something fell into windshield vent etc. you could ask GM if there was a problem on this. Toyota Matrix may have same heater so you could ask Toyota dealer similar. temporary [one trip] fix might be to select 'inside air' but opena window. good luck.

The fusible link is essentially an in line fuse on the positive terminal of the battery. To determine if the fusible link has been blown , one test lead of your ohmmeter should be on the positive terminal of the battery and the other test lead should be on the end of the fusible link going to the circuit it protects. If the link is ok, then the ohmmeter will read the same resistance as when the test leads are touched together, or very low resistance, usually less than 0.2 ohms. Replace if bad. Auto parts stores should have them. My preference would be NAPA

you will get all info on wiring/electrical/ fuse diagrams, error/fault codes, torque specs, PCV, service info, repair info, parts info, owner's/service/repair/parts/maintenance manuals etc everything totally this website www.reliable-store.com it's a very good site for all vehicles even my car 1991 model.

The resistor (most of the time ) is a coil in ceramic cooled by the fan. They consume voltage and create heat and allow less voltage t the fan. When they fail it's usually the sows that stop not bypass full speed. So i would focus on. Fan plug connection, the fan switch (mechanical and subject to wear) or the connections on the resistor as it can get real hot.

try this..With the ignition on, but the radio off, hold the small hour button down until it starts to blink. Then hit the hour button as many times as need to change the hour. Follow the same procedure to change the minutes. hope this helps!

Maybe this will help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMFvGZERHVw

Is that a low oil pressure light or a silly Check Engine light? Check the engine oil level and the automatic transmission fluid level. If those are ok, it could be a bad filter or the wrong oil, possibly a bad sending unit. BTW, there's no need to let that engine idle up to temperature even in cold weather. A minute is quite sufficient as long as you have oil pressure. Otherwise you're wasting fuel and creating more pollution since the engine efficiency is lowest at idle.

If the hub bearing has no play it should be ok and the rotor shiuls have been replaced if it had blue look as it has lost its hardness

What year vibe ? Could be an ignition switch problem .
