Replying to: neild1 (Dec 02, 2007 6:59 am) Sounds like either your alternator is defective, or something is on draining down the battery.   You say the alternator is good, how do you know that? You need to have it checked under load, and any of the autoparts chains can do that for you for you, usually free. This is actually a combination battery and alternator test.   If they check out, then you will need to measure the amperage draw on your battery when everything is off. If you find amperage draining, then you'll most likely need to get an electrical schematic to figure out how to start methodically unplugging fuses to find the culprit circuit.
#19 of 47 Radio & Cig lighter not working by trundleyme Dec 30, 2007 (6:42 am)
We plugged in a Sirrus radio to cigarette lighter and now cig lighter and radio do not work in our 2004 Matrix. The manual shows 2 sets of fuses but we can only find the one in the engine. The book says #28 fuse could be the one but can't find it. It is not under the lower left side of the instrument panel like someone from the dealer thought it would be. Any one else had this problem?

#24 of 47 Air-Bag Warning Light by harky Sep 08, 2007 (6:46 pm)
Hi all   I have a 2005 Matrix XR 4WD (39K miles on it), and few weeks ago, the air-bag warning light came on. I parked the car on the side street and turned off the engine. I waited few minutes, then when I re-start the engine, the light disapperaed. But, today, while I was driving, the air-bag light came on again and it won't go away. Is this something that I should be really worry about? If anyone experienced a similar situation, would you please share your thoughts? Thank You Replies to this message: nippononly (Apr 16, 2008 7:36 pm)

Replying to: harky (Sep 08, 2007 6:46 pm) It means there is a problem, probably electronic, in the airbag system. It is likely that right now the airbags would not deploy even if you were in a bad accident. It would be a good idea to have your mechanic check it out.   You can check with the dealer to be sure, but I think the airbags are covered under a longer warranty than the bumper to bumper, so it is likely any needed repairs would be free.
