view full answer... - Why Does the 2009 Pontiac Vibe Require a Modulite
- The Vibe requires a Modulite. A Modulite is a converter that draws 12-volts of current directly from the vehicle battery which is necessary for operating the trailer lighting. The electrical system alone, without help from the battery, cannot handle the increased amperage required to run the vehicle lights as well as the lights needed for the trailer.
This is the safest option because the extra amps to power the trailer are no longer going through the expensive electrical components of...

- 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.

view full answer... - Is Heat Shield Modifcation Required to Install Curt Trailer Hitch # 12221 on a 2008 Pontiac Vibe
- The Curt hitch # 12221 is only a fit for the 2008 Pontiac Vibe GT models. Heat shield modification is only required for installation if the heat shield interferes with the hitch installation area.
If you do not have a GT model, then heat shield modification would not be required. I would recommend the Draw-Tite model # 24812, as this hitch does not require heat shield modification, and it includes a pin and clip, which would be required if you plan to tow a trailer. Ball mounts are sold...

- The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118458, does not require a direct connection to the battery when installing and can be used on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT.
However, the benefit of a system that does include a direct connection to the battery, like Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 55057, is that it protects your vehicles sensitive wiring from too much amperage draw from the trailer lights, which could damage the electrical system on your 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT. The fuse protected...

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.
I attached an install video that shows a brake controller and 7-way being installed in a similar 2003 Pontiac Vibe as yours for you to check out to...

- 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...
view full answer... - 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...

- 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.

- 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...
