#1788 of 1889 95 safari van fuel pump problems by smrb Jun 10, 2008 (12:40 pm)
I replaced the fuel pump and it wont pump gas out of the tank. I can hear it prime when turning key on.I unhooked fuel line at filter and had the key turned over but no fuel.The vehicle is also draining batteries.It ran when i parked it.The fuel pump i replaced was only a year old. If i can hear the pump and am not getting fuel what could be the problem.If i pour gas in carb the van runs until that gas is used. i have dropped the gas tank in my driveway 4 times looking for problems.Could i have hooked up the pump wrong?Where is the underhood fusebox/relay? Help ME please.I was hurt at work and can not afford to go to a mechanic.I need to sell this van badly.Thanks

Replying to: lak2 (May 16, 2005 5:44 am) This is a reply to a very old post (May 2005): "My 2000 GMC Safari has a problem where the dome light flickers on and off. Typically during a turn and more often when its raining. While it is happening I can here a clicking sound uder the dash. Help!" My 2000 Safari is experiencing this exact same problem. It seems to be vibration-related and becomes more pronounced when it's raining. The relay under the dash chatters in unison with the flickering dome light. I suspect a wiring problem, but has anyone seen this before? Replies to this message: dlm1954 (Aug 03, 2008 5:29 pm) gride (Aug 12, 2008 4:27 am)

Replying to: jedecad (Aug 02, 2008 8:38 am) You might want to check the main wiring bulkhead that sits behind the battery on the firewall, the main ignition wire is in this and it pulls so much power it sometimes melts and gets a bad connection where it plugs in the firewall for the fuse box. I've had to take mine loose and clean it three or four times because I would louse all power to the ignition or it would be intermittent. I took it loose and used contact cleaner and a pin knife to clean the connector and it's worked fine ever since. DLM1
#1793 of 1889 My high setting stopped working but other lower settings still blow. Why? by tinyjewels Aug 05, 2008 (10:37 am)
Hey guys...just recently had an issue with my vents in the front stopped blowing. Had the hoses which were worn..replaced. Now I have a new issue...the high switch is no longer working...low and second two settings are fine but will not work when on the high position. Do I need a new control switch thingy thats in the console? My astro is a 2000 model. Replies to this message: tstorm (Aug 05, 2008 11:11 am)

Replying to: tinyjewels (Aug 05, 2008 10:37 am) My guess its the wiring that goes to the blower motor resistor. I have a 97 Safari and in my case the wire was burnt (the high speed wire is red) I just cleaned the connection and put it back together, I fear that the blower motor may need replacing soon though, I'm sure the wire melted for a reason and my guess is that the blower is not running efficiently and drawing too much juice. The resistor is behind the wiper fluid / raditor resivour. There is a plus that plugs into the resistor and in my case the plug was melted around the high speed (red) wire. I just scraped out the melted plastic and cleaned all connections. High speed has been working for several weeks now. Good luck
#1795 of 1889 Safari / Astro hard to beat by tstorm Aug 05, 2008 (11:27 am)
I love my 97 Safari, I've owned it since new and it's got 103,000 miles and living in Michigan with all the salt there is no rust on the body. I can haul 4 x 8 sheets of dry wall, tow my boat, put all my gear inside the van, take the family on vacation with lots of room and comfort and still be able to easily park in a tight parking spot. The gas mileage is better than my 4 x 4 Envoy and there really is not another vehical that compares.
#1796 of 1889 GMC Safari/Astro p0300 missing at 55mph by dsiever Aug 11, 2008 (8:56 am)
Hi everyone, I am having a problem with my 2001 Safari Van. I keep getting the p0300 engine code. I can feel the engine is missing but this is only evident once I get to about 55mph or faster and I maintain a constant speed. Once I feel the engine missing, I can accellerate and the miss disappears. I have replaced the distributor, distributor cap, ignition wires, spark plugs, fuel filter, and applied an injector cleaner in my gas. Still it misses. When it starts missing at say 55mph, the service engine light will begin flashing. If I gently accelerate up to say 70mph, the missing stops during the acceleration and as I approach 70 mph the car is sort of "fooled" into thinking that the missing problem is gone and the service engine light stops blinking and goes out, but when I immediately decelerate to 55mph and maintain that speed, it will begin to flash again. Has anyone out there experienced this missing problem (p0300) and if so, what action did you take to resolve it? Please help. Thank you.   regards, Doug Replies to this message: dlm1954 (Aug 11, 2008 1:50 pm) jonkez (Aug 31, 2008 5:37 am) reyahk (Jan 05, 2009 4:41 pm) dsiever (May 17, 2009 8:17 am)
