  • How To Install The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness On A 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118458 does not replace any of the connectors on the vehicle rather T's into them. There are two connectors that you will be connecting to on the back of the taillight housing. One is a 3 prong and one is a 2 prong. You will need to be sure you are attaching the correct pigtail from the harness to the connector on the tail light. For example, 3 prong from vehicle to 3 prong from wiring harness etc. We have a video...

  • Will the Stay-IN-Play Work On a 2004 Pontiac Vibe With Brake Booster Behind Firewall
  • The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251 is a great option for a 2004 Pontiac Vibe. It is not something we have installed on this exact vehicle but there are many instances which I have run into personally where the brake booster is directly behind the firewall where the brake pedal is. The standard practice we use when this is an issue is to drill a small pilot hole through the firewall then run a small wire though this to see how much room is there before...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2003 Pontiac Vibe is Touching Muffler
  • Modifications cannot be made to Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12234 without potentially impacting its durability and safety (and less importantly its warranty), but there are suggestions in regards to the issue you are having with it hitting the muffler on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe. This could be due to the exhaust pipe or the hanger hitting the hitch, and that looks like that may be the case for you. What I recommend is reading the help article I have linked for you entitled "How to Correct...

  • Curt Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am
  • The Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C56175 that you referenced is the correct wiring kit for your 1999 Pontiac Grand Am. In order to install this you will basically just need a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 to determine which wire is what on the tail light harness of your vehicle.

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch Pictures for a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT and Bike Rack Recommendation
  • We have not had the opportunity to take pictures of the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, item # 24821, installed on a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT yet, but we do have pictures of the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item # C11138, installed on a Pontiac G8 GT. That's the picture I attached. The Draw-Tite is fairly similar but the crosstube sits back a little so it isn't as obvious. In my opinion, if the GXP rear bumper/diffuser does not hang lower than the rear fascia on the G8 pictured on the # C11138,...

  • Do Bolts Need to Be Fished Into The Frame To Install Draw-Tite 24812 Hitch on 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  • You won't need to fish any fasteners into the vehicle frame to install the Draw-Tite # 24812 Class I hitch on a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. The vehicle frame member has nuts already welded into place to accept the 6 M12 x 1.25 installation bolts, so the install is pretty simple. If you live in a portion of the country where snow and ice melting chemicals are used on the pavement during the winter, you could have some road crud and corrosion built up in the nuts welded to the frame. If that's the...

  • Does the Heat Shield on a 2007 Pontiac Vibe have to be Trimmed to Install a Trailer Hitch
  • The only note in the actual instructions for Curt Trailer Hitch, # 12234, are for a different vehicle on which this hitch also fits. However, we have found that it is possible that the heat shield in question will need to be trimmed using aviator shears. Heat shields are thin pieces of metal that help to dissipate heat from the exhaust. Trimming a portion will not negatively affect the performance of the vehicle and the process is actually very easy. I have included a link to the installation...

  • Where Does a Curt Trailer Hitch Install on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am
  • The short answer is both. There are attachment points on the bottom of the frame and on the bumper mounts. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you plan on doing some towing, the hitch comes with the correct ball mount, pin, and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, you can use # 19256. For a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 119178KIT. I have linked the wiring instructions as well.

  • Size and Thread Pitch of Attachment Bolt for Draw-Tite Class I # 24812 for 2004 Pontiac Vibe
  • The Draw-Tite Class I # 24812 hitch attaches to nuts welded into the frame of the vehicle using M12 X 40mm bolts which have a 1.25 thread pitch. If the weld nuts in your frame are corroded or clogged up with road grime, before resorting to chasing them with a tap, you can try cleaning them using some spray lubricant like WD-40 and a wire brush like the one on a battery terminal cleaner # DW00254.

  • How Does Brake Output Circuit of Brake Controller Get Connected to a 2005 Pontiac Vibe with 7-Way
  • Since your 2005 Pontiac Vibe would not have came from the factory with a 7-way the one you have would be an aftermarket one. To connect to the blue wire of the connector will require you to run a 10 gauge wire back from the blue wire of the controller to the blue wire of the 7-way which would be the pin in the 5:00 position of the connector.
