#137 of 170 Re: 2000 Venture-some days works, some days dies (not battery) [fleastiff] by chases Jun 29, 2009 (8:31 am)
Replying to: fleastiff (Jun 26, 2009 1:59 pm) to pull the battery you have to remove(and lay over) the fuse box. You also have to remove the radiator support beam that the fuse box attaches to. The battery is still difficult to remove then. I usually have to turn the battery up on end and lift straight up and out. Make sure you clean the cable ends good before installing new battery.

Replying to: fleastiff (Jun 26, 2009 9:36 am) ask the parts guys that you are looking for a amp meter with a continuity checker. This is where you touch each lead together and the meter will buzz or beep. When you touch each lead of the fuse to the meter that buzz/beep is what your looking for on a good fuse. As far as removing the fuses... I have had to pull the fuses out with a set of plyers sometimes.

Replying to: fleastiff (Jun 23, 2009 1:26 pm) does the starter click when you turn the key?   another possibility might be the key itself! These vans do have that antitheft key fob thing. Do you have a spare key to try?   In the end... you might need to find yourself a good mechanic. Not always a dealership one either! Replies to this message: fleastiff (Jul 02, 2009 4:00 am)

Replying to: chases (Jun 29, 2009 8:39 am) Good mechanic? The one I had the car towed to said it started several times. He turned the key and it made weird noises but started once. Then he turned the key several times and it started without the weird noises. So I drove it about one mile away and stopped for a quick purchase but it would not start, so after sweating in the hot interior of the car to try to get it to start and sweating in the hot sun waiting for a tow truck, he now says its the starter: 258 dollars please.

Replying to: fleastiff (Jun 21, 2009 9:24 am) Same thing happens to me and no one can figure it out! we have been sitting for more than 4 wks now. hooked up to computer it says EGR valve stuck open. We have already gotten a new battery and a rebuilt starter. After it sits for 2 or 3 days, it will start up, then quit 15 minutes later. not turn over again for a few more days. I am looking for a answer too. If i find one here? I will let u know soon as i do! Good luck with it....
#142 of 170 radio changes volume by jhd Jul 12, 2009 (5:09 am)
while driving 2001 Venture, step on the gas, gets louder. I checked the charging voltage, solid at 14.5. Would it be grounding issue? Where is the radio ground located? I will check at night if lights dim at the same time, not sure yet, acting promptly at the wife's request to do something. Any ideas? I posted it in audio forum but looks like we have more traffic here. Replies to this message: bledford (Aug 19, 2009 3:36 pm) chrystal1899 (Jan 18, 2010 12:37 pm)

Replying to: ronsmith38 (Dec 06, 2006 6:24 pm) check the door switches (push buttons on the doors contact faces), they may be frozen in off position or wire broken. Sid
#144 of 170 Dash and Tail Light Problems by tankmedic Aug 04, 2009 (6:38 pm)
I have a 1999 Chevy Venture, my dash lights were going on and off, and I noticed that when the dash lights are out, the tail lights are out. Anyone know what the problem is? Replies to this message: azu (Aug 05, 2009 6:08 am) koolsmoker28 (Aug 07, 2009 7:03 pm)

Replying to: tankmedic (Aug 04, 2009 6:38 pm) I believe that under the front seats there are wiring harnesses that control several electrical components. Look to see if any are broken or disconnected. Replies to this message: koolsmoker28 (Aug 07, 2009 7:03 pm)
#146 of 170 please help me!!!!.....need some smart people!!!! by koolsmoker28 Aug 07, 2009 (6:40 pm)
i have a 1998 venture ls.about a month ago the car died while driving it and wouldnt start(starter didnt even try)and the battery was dead.charged the battery and took it to autozone. said bad battery so i replaced it.1 hour drive time and dead battery again so i took it back, and bad alternator they say.so i replaced it.(made sure to buy the delco 140 or 145 amp cant remember) about 1 hour drive time later battery dead again.. so off to the dealer for a test. they say it is the pcm (transmisson section 800 dollars) so i found the same pcm (same chevy pcm and part number...brand new) they asked for my vin number for programming and stamped vin on it.(it is correct) and still keep killing the battery. it is almost like the alternator is not coming on. when i have it running and i disconnect all leads to the alternator i only get about 2.3 volts at the post(and no dummy lights come on). also you can watch the voltage while at idle on a meter go down about 1 tenth of a volt at a time(30 seconds) until about 5volts where it just dies. i removed the ground and cleaned it on the wheel well by the battery and removed and cleaned all connections at the starter.. someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!....i needpointed in some direction... i am out of ideas!!!
