#18 of 25 Re: Chevrolet Venture Water Leaks [the_ug] by the_ug Sep 11, 2008 (1:10 pm)
Replying to: the_ug (Sep 07, 2008 6:27 am) That fix did not work in heavy downpour. standard rain it was fine. We had a deluge the other night and there was more rain in the van. Next idea is going to be:   Take out the dash to the point where I can see the ductwork. Run a hose over the windshield attempting to create my own flooding situation and see if I can determine where the problem is coming from. I personally believe the water found a way under the plastic cowl and into the vent, my gut reaction is to try the following procedure.   Stripping off all window caulk and other fixes. Remove windshield wipers and plastic cowl cover (you will need more body panel clips to reinstall). Inside the large vent openings, I plan to cut a slit/drill holes to provide drainage for water that may enter the vent. I will also be shaping the metal a bit in order to facilitate better drainage.   After the drainage holes are made, I will seal off the entire topside of the vent. The large openings will be covered and sealed in place with polyurethane adhesive. What about the air? the drain holes made will also serve as an added air flow. It may not be the way the vehicle was designed to work, but the original design is obviously flawed. I will post results of this procedure so anyone interested in the issue can stay advised.

Replying to: pjw73nh (Apr 07, 2008 12:19 pm) How did this fix work? I have the same problem and will need to replace the motor...I think. I've already replaced the switch once, but the left side window is soooo slow and stops sometimes. I'm thinking I need to replace the motor but don't have the special tool J-38864. I'd like to know how things went with your repair and what advice you can give me with my repair. Replies to this message: chevowner (Jun 24, 2009 2:04 pm)
#20 of 25 buzzer in rear of van by dadssad Nov 15, 2008 (4:57 pm)

#21 of 25 Chevy Venture 1998 power sliding door noisy by gonzy Nov 15, 2008 (6:35 pm)
I own a Chevy Venture 1998 and have the power sliding door making a big noise when the vehicule is running. I pull out the panel and I saw that the plastic yoyo that rewind back and foward the cable in back side are broken. The power motor are conect to this plastic gear and the back side have a support guide into a metalic hole and are broken. The gear are dancing into the cavity and making a lot of hard noise while car is in movement. Where can I find this part and how I disconect the tension wire that move the door to replace this part?
#22 of 25 Door won't LOCK. 2000 Chevy Venture by fleastiff Jun 09, 2009 (10:09 am)
Front Passenger side door is in the UNlocked position and the lock won't budge.   Neither of the two internal lock buttons will lock it, nor will the key fob button lock it. I've attempted to manipulate the little black lever on the inside of the door handle but it stays put and only indicates the red-tinged area indicating its 'unlocked' status.   It doesn't really interfere with the vehicle's operation in anyway. All the other doors lock. Its just I can't lock the right front door and I don't like it that way!   Anyone have any ideas? Replies to this message: chases (Jun 29, 2009 7:57 am)

Replying to: polebendaz (Nov 01, 2008 8:44 pm) I have found that if it's working but slowly then apply a good lube in the track inside the door. Not WD40 either because it will just wear away.

Replying to: fleastiff (Jun 09, 2009 10:09 am) it may be messy, but spray some engine degreaser on the lock with the door open and wash it good. You need to get some spray white litheum grease to spray in it when your finished.   does the other electrical things in your door still work?   check all the wires going to the door lock actuator. If you had a meter the readings across the wires would be 12v for lock and then reverse for unlock. some vehicles wont lock unless the latch is made. so take a screwdriver and manually latch the door latch with the door open and see if the lock can move then.
#25 of 25 Re: Sliding door hard to open on Venture? Why [gcourage] by purplenova Jul 02, 2009 (8:24 am)
Replying to: gcourage (May 19, 2006 10:46 am) we had the same problem on our 2003 Venture. First time it was the cable. You can see it in the door track, when the door is open. The plastic/rubber casing over the cable was badly frayed causing the door to struggle. Replaced it, that cable cost a fortune too, then its been an issue about every six months.
