The turn signals work fine with head lights off but when you turn on the lights at night. Then you put on the left turn signal the right front blinks also, but not as bright . Then same thing happens when you put the right turn signal on also the flasher clicks real fast. I replaced the flasher and checked and cleaned the grounds by the battery. I ran wire from the neg side of the battery the ground wire and it did not change.   Thank You pepper4 Replies to this message: pepper4 (Jan 31, 2007 5:13 pm)

Replying to: pepper4 (Jan 28, 2007 2:32 pm) I replaced both front light sockets and that fixed the problem.   pepper4
#542 of 618 03 savanna 2500 Electrical by skarnyski Feb 20, 2007 (5:19 am)
I have a 2003 12 passenger van and there is an electrical connector under the passenger front seat - any idea what this is? Mine shorted out last night and started a small fire under the seat. It looks like a puddle of water and a tour book may have caused the short. Any body have any ideas??   Also, the dashboard lights have gone out three times - twice under warrenty the dealer fixed them but the warrenty is up and I'd like to fix it myself if possible.   Thanks!
#543 of 618 Reliability of the 1500 with the V6 4.3 liter engine by rodut Mar 07, 2007 (7:44 pm)
Hi everybody,   Does somebody know how reliable are the 1500 Savanas with the V6 4.3 liter engines? How much trouble, let's say in 100,000 - 150,000 miles ?   I plan to buy such a vehicle, customized as a Class-B RV. Installing the cabinets, sink, electrical, fiberglass roof, beds (one in the van, and one in the roof), etc, is pretty expensive. The roof raises like in those old VW Camper Vans.   The price jumps up by about 40%. Is the GM van worth it (reliability wise), or I am wasting my money ? This toy is a lot pricier than a tent trailer !   Thanks
#544 of 618 V6 VAN by jvette Mar 12, 2007 (10:48 am)
I own a business and turn our Chevy Express vans at or just before 60k. We only use the V6 and they have been pretty much trouble free during the first 50k. If I were using the van as a RV I would look at the V8. The gas milage isn't any different than the V6. You may also want to look at the 2500 series.
