#2024 of 2457 Re: Removing Door Panel [erlsgrls] by 4thstooge Nov 09, 2005 (6:30 am)
Replying to: erlsgrls (Nov 09, 2005 6:11 am) Hi erlsgrls, removing any door panel you have to consider: 1. you almost always have to pop out the plastic piece around the door handle, and remove 2 screws, and/or remove the armwrest with 2 screws. (If you need more details email (secretagent4thstoogeyahoo.com) me and I will look closer at my van this weekend). 2. They make a tool to help pop the plastic fasteners out without breaking them, but I have never bought one, don't bother, you can do it without it, and if you break a plastic fastener they are cheap and easy to replace. 3. start with a thin, almost flat, flat bar/pry bar/big screwdriver, and slide it up a few inches behind the door panel near the lower left corner, don't pry like you are prying to boards apart, wiggle the tool a little at a time until you can slide a few fingers under the door panel. 4. keep gently tugging the door panel so you can slide your finger near the 1st plastic fastener, then give it a few good yanks straight out, 5. repeat for other plastic fastener you find holding the bottom half of the door panel to the door, then lift the door panel out and up, it is in clips near the window at the top and you just yank it up at the top to release. 6. if you are careful you can peel the plastic insulation back and re-stick it when you are done.

Has anyone every replaced their coil packs? They are tucked up in there good. I am going to replace with Accel coil packs, and I want to make sure that it is not a major operation.   Ted
#2026 of 2457 New to this Forum (I hate my Venture) by 99cbr600 Nov 20, 2005 (1:30 pm)
I bought my 01 Venture just over a year ago (Aug 04). I loved it until my wipers went crazy 4 days after I bought it. The fine GM dealer refused to do anything about it until a show was made to the owner in his show room. These are the problems I've had in the last year with this fine Chev product: Wiper control arm, Intake manifold gasket leak, Rear wiper no longer works, Radio is locked, Instrument cluster has no lights, Gauges are not working, Blinker problems, LR power lock interminent, Right power window came off bracket, Front disc and pads replaced.   Sounds like other people are having similar problems. DO NOT buy a van in the montana/venture family. Replies to this message: farmlife4 (Feb 06, 2006 8:30 pm)

#2028 of 2457 chevy venture by eed Nov 21, 2005 (9:35 pm)
I'm new to the site. i have a 2001 chevy venture and fell in love with it. my mechanic told me my head gasket need replaced. 1st why does it take so many hours to replace the $300.00 gasket. they told me 17 hours worth of work which equates to $1,000. I find this hard to believe. 2nd my van runs great, what signs should i see if my head gasket is going bad? yes, i am getting a second opinion. i just want to be more on top of things when i get my 2nd opinon. can anyone help me?
#2029 of 2457 Re: Chevy Venture Keyless Entry Remotes & Programming Instructions [93miata by mark0978 Nov 23, 2005 (7:54 am)
Replying to: 93miata (Oct 09, 2005 4:44 pm) What did you find out about the Keyless entry for the Venture. I've got the same problems you have, but I haven't won any of the bids on ebay. I placed a bid last night that had 4 days left on it, then this morning I see that I have "lost" the bid and the only ones still available for the venture are all "Buy it now" at twice the price I bid last night.

#2032 of 2457 I've replaced my alternator 3 times in the last month! Help!!!! by marif Nov 30, 2005 (12:18 pm)
My '98 Venture died on me one night driving down the road. Lights went dim, power steering failed, everything went dead. This started the long process of taking the Venture to the shop 3 times. The first time the alternator was rebuilt. It ran for 10 days and broke down again. A second rebuilt alternator was put in everything else checked out ok and the van ran for less than 24 hours before it died again. A brand new alternator has been put in and I've driven it for 2 days and the signs of the fading alternator are coming back. Can anyone tell me what is burning up the alternator? Because my mechanic sure can't! Replies to this message: 1panky (Dec 01, 2005 6:12 am) ts60423 (Dec 02, 2005 9:27 am) crackchecker (Dec 05, 2005 9:02 am)

Replying to: marif (Nov 30, 2005 12:18 pm) I have replaced my alternator in a 2000 Venture 2 months ago with a new unit and everything is working well. I had some strange system failures before the alternator was detected as needing replacement as is usual with these modern vehicles. First, I would have to question the quality of your rebuilt alternators. My mechanic insisted I purchase a new unit with a warrantee so as to not have any future problems. A new unit was not much more than a rebilt type. At this stage of the game, I would seek out another repair facility to diagnose and check the condition of your present unit and go over your entire charging system. This is not a complicated problem normally to have spent so much of your time, money and energy. It could just be a problem with the type of alternators your mechanic stocks. Good luck on this frustrating problem.
