#2008 of 2457 gas gauge problems too by venture2 Oct 26, 2005 (8:21 pm)
I have the same problem with my gauge when the fuel goes below 1/4 of tank. Any ideas? Please help. Replies to this message: crackchecker (Oct 27, 2005 12:13 pm) ts60423 (Oct 27, 2005 4:39 pm)

Replying to: venture2 (Oct 26, 2005 8:21 pm) The unit works off of resistance. Basiclly the float has a sweeper on it (electionic) that has portions of it go bad(short). It is almost always near the last 1/4 tank full.   The only fix is to drop the tank and replace the entire unit. Includes the fuel pump and guage float. About $470.

Replying to: 4thstooge (Oct 25, 2005 6:40 am) Release of pressure by undoing the gas cap is valid, I have done it to release pressure beore changing the fuel filter. Once I forgot, and fuel stated spraying everywhere - lets just say I was never hapier to not be a smoker. Dealers and garages with the GM software can print schematics and their version of instructions, you might be able to get a copy.

I had an aluminum block corrode benieth the car and caused a small leak that was VERY elusive. Also make sure that your pads and rotors have plenty of life in them. When the calipers get extended really far, sometimes the fluid gets low and sets off the lights.

Mine was replaced years ago, and no problems since. Luckily GM at least had the sense to release a seperate fuel sensor from the fuel pump. The Venture is also one of the easiest (relatively speaking, of course) vehicles to drop the tank on. Just make sure its empty - 26 gallons is really heavy.
#2013 of 2457 1998 Brake problems by joeteck Oct 30, 2005 (9:43 am)
I was told by my mechanic that if you press the brakes hard, you'll get air in the lines... I've never heard of that before. I thought the brake system is a sealed system, where air can never get in even when the levels are correct. It used to work fine, now my brakes go to the floor... Is my mechanic correct?
#2014 of 2457 fuel guage, electrical, windows...oh my!!! by cbower Oct 31, 2005 (3:04 pm)
So I love my 1999 chevy venture, but it's giving me a headache. My fuel guage goes up, then down, then up and sticks somewhere around 1/2 a tank. My ABS and seatbelt lights come on whenever they feel like it, and stay on if they choose. Occasionally my digital readout on the roof (LS edition) tells me there's ICE outside!! Well, it was 90 degrees out the last time it did that! My AC makes noise like it's sucking in helium. My window rolls down but then rolls up funky and i have to grab it to make it stay back on track. SO.... I doubt all these problems are related...but I'm thinking a few of them may. Suggestions, tips and witty comments are welcome. I don't know where to begin!!! Oh, and I've already replaced the corroded tail light bezzel thinga-ma-jigger..... Well, my husband did it, but now my directional lights work so it's not that!!

#2015 of 2457 Re: Venture Code 300??? [sully0522] by jdmddltn Oct 31, 2005 (7:03 pm)
Replying to: sully0522 (Aug 05, 2005 4:46 am) I have a 97 Venture that was running a bit rough occasionally and then died on Friday. We were told that we need to either rebuild or replace the engine. We only had 77000 miles on it . The only other thing I had noticed was that it seemed to be going through coolant quickly, but we never noticed a leak. Are these problems common? We have never had a problem up to this point, but this is really depressing. I really love my van, but I am afraid of it turning into a money pit. Any advice?

#2017 of 2457 My chevy venture won't go into Drive or 1st Gear. by magnet1964 Nov 01, 2005 (7:29 pm)
I parked my Venture in front of the house 1 hour ago then I went to drive it into the garage but the van won't drive although I have the gear on drive. I tried on 1st gear and still it didn't drive. The only way was to put it on second or third gear. We never had a problem with this van and wonder what happened? I really hope it was not the transmission. Please, HELP!
