Where would I find the cable. Can it be accessed without a hoist?

Another thing to look at would be a battery with a internal short. Load test it!!!
My 88 Escort just recently lost the alternator and it was related to the battery going out.

2000 Venture Fuel guage/dome lights/hesitation

I'm having problems with my fuel guage moving from empty to full. This normally happens when I'm down to a quarter tank of gas.
Also have no interior lights at all. If I open my doors or use the switch on the dash board there are no lights at all. (Dome light) all other are fine. JUST MY DOME LIGHTS DON'T WORK.
I also have hesitation when I acellerate and can't figure out what it is. Wires have been changed but not the plugs to hard to get at. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Please read below this is from a previous member and this was how they fixed his problem. I like to find out where I can check for corrosion on the pins where the cable is plugged in that goes to the guage readings on the dash.
Do not let them put in a new sensing guage inside of the fuel tank before they check for corrosion on the pins where a cable is plugged in that goes to the guage readings on the dash. after they cleaned the pins I didnt have any more problems. I learned the hard way because that sensing unit they put in the gas tank cost me about $400 Dollars and I dont think that I needed it.

I'm an automotive corrosion engineer. You're right about galvanic corrosion occurring where you mix steel and aluminum, but that's not what's happening with the hood in this case. The problem on the hood is just corrosion of the aluminum. When steel rusts, it is red. When aluminum rust, it's white/milky. The problem is 'filiform corrosion.' This happens with aluminum that's covered with a paint or other similar coating. When aluminum is exposed to air, it forms a protective alumunium oxide film on the surface (about 1nm thick), which protects the aluminum underneath. When you get a chip in the paint on your aluminum hood, water gets under the chip. The salt/water starts to attack the aluminum. Because it's held in by the paint, it doesn't dry out and have a chance to reform the aluminum oxide.

Just a warning...I ordered two remotes from www.thepartsyouneed.com over a month ago. I have not received them yet. The tracking number shows no useful info. I emailed the site and got no response. I called the phone number on the site a couple of times and there was no answer. I waited a week and emailed again. This time I got a response. But no apology or explanation, no info at all. Just asked me to check the ship address. It was correct. I replied back. That was the last I heard. They charged my credit card immediately, before they supposedly shipped, by the way.

Contact your credit card company explaining the situation to them and ask for help.

It turns out there was a dealer bulletin for my year venture.
I took it to a dealer to have the PCM reprogrammed to correct
false EGR position error.Cost $90.

Just wanted to fairly update my previous entry regarding www.thepartsyouneed.com and my remotes purchase. Eventually, I did receive what I ordered. But it was over a month after ordering and the service was poor. At this point I'm not sure if they work. I'm going to assume so. They are used remotes, but I expected that for the price. I still cannot recommend that anyone use www.thepartsyouneed.com.
