Yes. It took a long time but we finally figured out that the lights for the mirror in the visor was shorting and causing the fuse to intermittently blow. We simply disconnected the wiring harness to the visors and the problem has gone away. I hope you can solve your problem. Please let us know how you make out.....

OK here we go.... I have an 02 Venture WB and every time we put it in reverse the dash and head lights dim and the fan for the air slows front and back. We had the alternator pulled and checked and the tech said it was bad. The same day they put a new one in and it still did the same thing  . If anyone has any ideas I need to know ASAP!!!!! OH and from what I can tell GM needs to put a warning on the door of this thing that says "NEEDS BOTTOMLESS BANK ACCOUNT!" Thanks

It does seem like junking the van would be the less 'head-achy' thing to try, but most challenges are like that. Right? Well, anywho... I would suggest putting a little more time into it yourself before giving up. Check the tranny completely and very closely. Not just what the "book" might say. (or mechanic) Then perhaps try taking a closer look at all of the electricals on your own. I know this is a whole heck of a lot of work, but what if you find the problem and fix everything eh? You might have already thought of what the problem is, and just forgot to check. Try writing everything you did down and everything you wanted done as well. Then write down what you didn't think of. A partner to "brainiac" the problem always helps. And try to keep thinking " What if i sell it or junk it only to find out in a month that it was only a wire i missed " Or just junk it. Your choice, my two cents. Hope everything works out. If i think of anything i will post you.

My 2002 Chevy Venture has lost it's mind I have lost all my buttons where it tells the directions and the temp outside. I had all the fuses checked and they are fine, but they won't work. I asked a mechanic he told me it was a memory board that was behind it if I don't get it fixed it will make everything go hay wire. I don't know where that is and I don't have the "Bling Bling" that he wants to fix my problem.
I thought of doing it myself but I need a little nudge to tell me where to look for it and I thought maybe someone else has the same problem, plus my fuel gauge says I am empty when I sit at a red light or driving takes a long time for it to go back up. Plus I have the bucking problem to at one time or another. Am I crazy or is this VAN? Did anyone find out what kind of recalls it had cause my dealer said they are NO recall's on the Chevy Venture vans plus if they were my mileage is above warranty. I bought it used.

I have the same problem with my 2000 Chevy Venture. I'm not sure when it started, but here are my exact symptoms. First the power windows began shorting out, I have replaced the door panel switches 3 times now, and they are still sketchy. Second, I was driving back from a 200 mile road trip, and my rear lights stopped working all together for about 5 minutes. Now every time I depress the Brake pedal both signal indicators in my instrument panel light up, if I am using a signal, it stops flashing when I brake, and my brake lights malfunction intermittently ( left and right). Also my drivers side, amber light does not come on during daylight, but works fine at night. These are not the only problems with this heap , but I have to fix it. SO
Any suggestions?

I had a similar problem with a 1999 Olds Silhouette. Depressing the brake lights would dimly light turn signals, or if a turn signal was on it would go dim and flash slowly. The problem ended up being the ground in the right side rear taillight not making good contact within the connector. Over the years there has been enough overload on this connection that it started melt the housing slightly thus causing poor contact. Thus the return current was not routed correctly back to the ground of the battery. I cleaned up the contacts (being frugal and not wanting to buy a new taillight housing) and forced some 30 awg wire behind the contact in the housing to increase the pressure on the connector pins. So far so good for about 6 months. FYI: There is one ground return for the 3 lamps in the housing. My opinion is that for those times when all lamps are lit the contact is overloaded.
