#528 of 548 97 Chevy Venture shuts off by nena1971 Aug 25, 2006 (6:25 am)
I have a 97 chevy venture, bought 3 yrs ago and had a new engine put in when it was bought. Recently it's been shutting off completely when I turn the steering wheel all the way left or right making it real difficult to get out of parking spots. Sometimes it shuts off after I start it and put it in gear. Once it shut off as I was driving, I put it in neutral to turn it over again (I was rolling down hill and there were cars I couldnt pull over) and it wouldnt turn on, until I finally got to pull over, stop it, then it turned over after several tries. Can someone please tell me where I should start looking!! Thank You Replies to this message: flower60 (Aug 25, 2006 9:59 am)

Replying to: nena1971 (Aug 25, 2006 6:25 am) That sounds like what my friends van was doing. ( Is yours red?) Anyway her problem was the head gasket and a lot of things that led up to that going. They weren't real good about maintainance. Was the engine new, or used? Also, my husband says to have a proper cooling system flush done if it hasn't been.

#531 of 548 Re: 1997 Venture No Brake Lights and ABS Light Constantly On. [mcaracoglia] by rkhoward Aug 27, 2006 (3:33 pm)
Replying to: mcaracoglia (Jan 24, 2006 8:47 am) Our 1998 Venture has done something similar. At first the backup lights and hazard lights on the dash would come on when the brake lights,and some times the abs light came on. Only when the head lights were on. The yesterday the brake lights went out, except for the third brake light. I found a pin on the plug to both tail light socket assemblies had melted. Did you find out what caused your problem?
#532 of 548 1997 Venture window will go down but not up HELP!!!! by mccool Aug 29, 2006 (2:31 pm)
I have a 1997 Chevy Venture and the passenger power window will go down but will not go up, I have replaced the motor and the switch on the driver side and now I am at a loss of what to do? Please HELP ME!! Thanks for your time. Replies to this message: flower60 (Aug 29, 2006 2:44 pm)

Replying to: mccool (Aug 29, 2006 2:31 pm) You may need to replace the switch, motor, and regulator in the passenger door also. If you have not replaced the regulator in the driver's door, I would do that because that window will eventually do the same thing. I am having a problem with my driver's side auto window right now. To put it back up, I have do raise it a little at a time, straighten it with my hand and put it up a little more. If you end up doing this, DO NOT hold the edge of the window too long (and don't let your hand slip) as it will really hurt your fingers. All these parts are dealer only but I have noticed that all these parts are on EBay.
#534 of 548 1998 Venture engine mount torque strut bracket removal by drvway Sep 10, 2006 (3:55 am)
I am trying to remove the passenger-side engine mount torque strut bracket from the ENGINE. I have removed two bolts but the bracket will not come off. I have searched extensively but in vain for other bolts. Is there another bolt and if so, where did they hide it? If not, is there a trick to removing the bracket?

#535 of 548 Re: oil pressure (not oil level) light [2k1olds] by oldyeller85 Sep 17, 2006 (10:43 am)
Replying to: 2k1olds (Jun 22, 2004 4:53 pm) I haven't has the issue with oil pressure light. But, I have been having issues with the airbag light on my 99 Venture van since it was brand new. At first the resolution according to the code was to replace the seatbelts. That would make the light go out for a while, but within a year it was back on. The last time they replaced a wiring harness, but it is back on again. Lasted about 6 months.
#536 of 548 DVD humming? by escambiaguy Sep 17, 2006 (11:50 am)
I noticed when I shut off my engine but leave the key in the run position I hear a humming coming from the DVD player. It makes the sound constantly even when there is no disc in it. It's not loud, sort of like a laptop pc. Is this normal? Also, what is the round circle next to the monitor? I first thought it was a speaker but now I don't think so.
