#2005 PONTIAC VIBE BRAKE LIGHT BULB PROFESSIONAL#
This dashboard symbols guide is for entertainment and informational purposes only, and does not replace seeking professional advice from a certified technician or expert mechanic. You MUST call or visit your dealership or mechanic immediately. If the dashboard on your Pontiac is orange or red, this can be a signal that your vehicle is experiencing a problem that needs urgent attention. If you’re unsure, you should seek the services of a mechanic or dealership as soon as possible. When a light is yellow, your car is trying to tell you that a less common safety feature of the car is being used (such as stability control on wet roads), a mild fault has been detected or a repair may be required. When a Pontiac dashboard warning light is green or blue, they are simply telling you that one of your car’s features is being used, or has been activated. The lights can also flash to draw your attention to a more severe and time-sensitive issue. Much like traffic lights, the color of your dashboard symbol light is just as important as what it means.
#2005 PONTIAC VIBE BRAKE LIGHT BULB MANUAL#
You should consult your owner’s manual and have your car inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Ultimately, your car is trying to tell you something. About 45minutes to reassemble.Now the bloody light works.Good luck to all that follow.This means your automatic windscreen wipers are on. I was glad to hear Toyota was planning on continuing the Matrix line.Anyhow, the part cost $6.85 cents (AC206C 90981-11018)I fixed the shifter on my kitchen table and then reassembled. It's really a Vibe, but we won't say anything about that.Him: "We're seeing a lot Matrixs with this funny triangular badge on them."We chatted a bit and speculated on where Toyota would relocate the Matrix line (it was built in Fremont at NUMI, but when GM bankrupted, GM walked away from NUMI and Toyota closed it). One or both of the filaments in the bulb can burn out, requiring replacement of the entire bulb.
Wouldn't work.Trotted off to the local Toyota dealer:Me: "This is the shifter light out of a 2005 Matrix. The 1st-generation Pontiac Vibe takes advantage of a dual-filament tail light bulb, which means a single bulb is responsible for both the running tail lights and the brake lights. I think this bulbs base was like 1/16 of inch short.
The GM parts place I went to first, the guy rummaged around in the back for a while before he gave me a bulb that was close.Unfortunately close is not good enough here. remove it from the socket by pulling firmly upwards.Getting the bulb is interesting.I discovered the local GM dealers are less than enthusiastic about stocking parts for the Vibe. If you think you can do without splittng the plastic piece go for it.It is a replaceable bulb and it is very small. The only reason you need to split this is to get enough wire to give the little socket a 1/4 turn to remove it. You do have to split the plastic piece that holds the PRNDL indicator. I don't think it is even necessary to loosen the knob and in any even it can be removed later is necessary.The light - at least on my can is in a twist out socket in the upper corner. I did that and despite warnings in manual I broke the internal wires. With 20-20 hindsight, I would suggest *NOT* removing the AT shifter knob. Once the trim is off, it is not so bad getting the shifter unbolted. I would buy one.For anyone who takes this on again.Read the 2003 Matrix manual that another kind forum participant posted - For my car it was about the same. I understand Kragen sells a trim remover. I used a taped flat blade screw as suggest elsewhere.
As usual, the worst part was getting the trim off. But the shifter light.WHAT A PAIN.It turns out you have to remove the shifter assembly to replace the bulb. (Joatman - if I ever meet you face-to-face, I'm going buy you a beer)I decided that while I had the radio out, I would fix the burned out shifter light. Well, answering my own question.I undertook this repair primarily due to the radio backlight being out.
