Replying to: d_jray (Oct 30, 2008 6:37 am) I am having the same problem with my 1997 Chevy Venture. How did you resolve the problem on your van. Replies to this message: warpath1 (Dec 03, 2008 5:50 pm)
#105 of 159 overheating chevy venture by Hunter785 Nov 28, 2008 (11:58 am)
Hi all, My temp gauge on my 98 Venture moves to high (extreme right-red) and shuts down the van. No battery power to start...nothing, completely dead. Replaced the alternator and thermostat...$750.00 (ouch). Got the van back two days later the temp gauge is high and the van begins to power out. Maybe I need a new battery, is it electrical, does it have to do with the heating/cooling system. I dont know, and niether does my mechanic. Has anybody had a similair problem or does anyone have a solution. Thanks.

Replying to: mudman1 (May 05, 2007 8:07 am) My temp gauge reads high and the van shuts down. Replaced alternator and thermastat, still problems presist. I will check to see if crystalization is occuring. Have you found the problem, if this was it? Thanks

Replying to: Bill_D (Nov 27, 2008 6:07 pm) On my 01 Venture. I had some serious back light problems and thin it got too the point that thy did not work at all. With my van the plug for the tale light assembly would get wet (because of the stupid upsidedown connection point design) and got to hot and melted the plastic connector. So I went to the junk yard and got new connectors. Problem fixed. Then the same thing happend again So I cut the connectors off and I bought single wire connectors from Napa (if you do this make sure that the new connectors are small enough to fit tightly around the metal proungs) and filled the joint full of silicone. I did this about 3 years ago and no more problems. Yet Let me know if this helps you.

#109 of 159 DEAD electrical- but battery is charged by davis911s Dec 09, 2008 (12:52 pm)
1998 Chev van   Yesterday my van had the oil pressure light come on, I parked it while it was idling it died. Engine turned over when I was cranking it but would not re-start.   I was going to try and fix that issue today so I took the battery out and gave it 14 hours on 2amp charge overnight   When I replaced the battery, I have NO POWER inside, no lights , no radio, nothing!   I have over 12V at the battery, I checked all the big fuses in the fuse compartment in the engine compartment. When the fuses were out I ensured that I have 12V at the "positive" side of the fuse holder.   The door alarm rings when the key is in the ignition, but as soon as I turn the key to "on" or "start" the dinging stops. Actually as soon as I try to ude ANYTHING with current this stops the door alarm. ie turning the light switch on or plugging anything into the lighter. It seems that this shorts something out?   What am I missing?? There has to be a main fuse or something that I dislodged when removing the battery???????? This is really confusing that I have absolutely NO POWER anywhere, but the battery is showing 12V   Thanks, I hope you can help
#110 of 159 FIXED by davis911s Dec 09, 2008 (1:14 pm)
Hey guys sorry for being an idiot!   I fixed the electrical problem, I had no completely tightened the positive terminal on the battery post. I am dumb, I'm gonna have to blame the cold (Canadian winter working outside = COLD)   Thanks, now just gotta fix the oil presure problem but that is in another post Replies to this message: ladyp (Apr 16, 2009 9:48 am)
#111 of 159 Lights go dim and bright while engine is running. by heartbreaker Jan 05, 2009 (9:44 pm)
Hello, I have a 2000 chevy venture. All my lights inside and out go dim then bright, dim then bright, dim then bright continously all the time while the enginge is running no matter if it idles or i am driving. Anyone have a clue. Dealership wants 150 dollars just to look at it and I don't have the money for that plus them to fix it. Does anyone know if there is a fix ? Like a regulator or something I can replace? Thanks, Will be waiting for response.....

Replying to: d_jray (Oct 30, 2008 6:37 am) I am having the same problem. This has been going on for several weeks. Yesterday I lost all of my back lights. Have you found the solution yet?

Replying to: lotti (Apr 07, 2008 9:00 am) Did you ever get this figured out? My van is doing the same thing. Seems to be connected to the auto head light feature. Replies to this message: lotti (Feb 03, 2009 4:37 am)
