#2073 of 2457 venture woes by dmore Jan 16, 2006 (5:14 pm)
I purchased a 2002 venture 5 days ago and feel like an idiot. 3 days after purchase the cruise control, brake lites and traction system decided to take a vacation. But right now my question is: How the heck do you set the clock in the thing? The manual tells me to press buttons that do not exist in my vehicle. Help!

#2074 of 2457 Fuel smell by adso Jan 18, 2006 (9:47 am)
I have a 1999 Chevy Venture with the 3.4L V6.The engine has 123,000 km on it and recently we have noticed a fuel smell. The smell is intermitent and has occured mostly at start-up and while idling for more than a few minutes. We have noticed the smell even on days after a fuel fill-up. Any idea where the fuel smell is from? Thanks. Replies to this message: huney (Jan 19, 2006 12:43 pm)

Replying to: lorijerry (Jan 14, 2006 1:05 pm) You may have bent the 'parking pawl'. This usually happens when you've been snowed on and cleaned out the snow, a part gets bent on the wiper transmission. Sometimes a mechanic can do some adjusting to get it to work, but I believe usually you need to replace the transmission. It can be a high-dollar repair ($200-$300, thereabouts) Replies to this message: abs (Jan 22, 2006 1:01 pm) mickey14 (Jun 07, 2006 12:21 pm) vanderda (Jun 19, 2006 11:17 am)

Replying to: dmore (Jan 16, 2006 5:14 pm) It's been awhile since I did this, but I think the hour and minute buttons are below the tuner knob (left, lower big knob). They're very small, black, and blend into the background. There may or may not be a little "H" and "M" on them. Another idea-maybe it's not a factory installed radio.   Your cruise and brake light problem are probably related. A crapped-out brake switch or wiring problem can cause cruise and lights to not work. I'm not sure about the traction system-may be related too.

Replying to: mitzij (Aug 31, 1999 8:02 pm) Check your brake light bulbs. If they aren't working, your cruise won't work.

Replying to: adso (Jan 18, 2006 9:47 am) Hmmmm . . . . First I'd change the fuel filter then check all connections on the gas lines all the way to the injectors. The fuel fill door should be in good condition and make sure the air filter is clean. Other than that, if you don't find the problem pronto consult with your GM service dept immediately because raw fuel is a bad, bad, no no.

Replying to: catonis (Aug 08, 2005 11:32 am) we had a similar problem our dealer said the wire connections underneath were loose?
#2081 of 2457 Re: 2000 Venture Wipers stay up [byker220] by abs Jan 22, 2006 (12:35 pm)
Replying to: byker220 (Dec 24, 2005 6:45 pm) Not sure if you may already have the answer, but here is what worked on my 2000 Venture. The upper assembly on the wiper motor rotates forward to run the wipers. When switched off, the assembly runs backward for a turn. There is an electric operated key that needs to move out of the inner wheel to allow the drive to disengage. Over time, the lubricant gives way to the dust buildup and the key doesn't let go... the wipers move up and stay there. Take the cover off of the upper assembly and spray about 8 cents worth of WD40 at it and you will save the 200 bucks at the dealer.

Replying to: bmoran (Jan 07, 2006 7:07 pm) I had a similar problem and eventually found the cause under the floor mat on the passenger side. It takes about an hour to get to. Look for water while you are down there. My AC was leaking back into the cab and filled the passenger side floor with water which corroded the wires. A bit of solder, grease, and electrical tape fixed the door problem. (Fixing my blower motor resistor will probably stop the AC condnesate from flooding the floor in the future, but I have found that running it on high helps a lot too.) Good luck.
