#154 of 163 Re: 97 Chevy Venture dash gauges not working [jbartik] by rlp50 Aug 26, 2009 (6:57 am)
Replying to: jbartik (Aug 26, 2009 4:07 am) I'd be curious to know what it is you had fixed the first time. I've had the same problem with my 2000 and never did find out what was causing the problem. It used to be internittent, now the lights are off permanently. As a bypass, I shunted a wire across the interior light switch in the ceiling console and now turn them on or off with that switch.
#155 of 163 tail lights and liscense plate lights by lb71 Oct 02, 2009 (3:24 pm)
I see Ventures have quite a bit a electrical problems. I am having similar problems with tail lights overheating the bulb sockets. What is the solution? though it didn't look like the license plate lights are over heating. I have a 2002 venture Replies to this message: rlp50 (Oct 02, 2009 4:25 pm) lb71 (Oct 04, 2009 10:02 pm)

Replying to: lb71 (Oct 02, 2009 3:24 pm) Smoother the end of the bulb and socket with di-electric grease. That worked for me. Replies to this message: lb71 (Oct 04, 2009 10:02 pm)

#158 of 163 Interior lights,door locks and windows inoperative! by gayegill Nov 24, 2009 (10:59 am)
I have a 2007 Venture Van. The problem is as stated in the title. Once I was told to disconnect the (positive) post for 1-5 mins to reset the computer. To my surprise it worked!!! Wait before you jump for joy. It only worked for about (2) on, off cycles of the ignition. It only worked that once and I've been frustrated since.   Is there anyone who has had this problem, and how did you resolve it?
#159 of 163 More electrical problems. by pastaboy Nov 26, 2009 (3:44 pm)
Can anyone help with this one? My power side vent windows have stopped working. I have checked the fuses and they are good. I had a spare switch from a parts van and installed it and they still do not work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Does the wiring run through the headliner or under the carpeting?

#160 of 163 Flickering dash and exterior lights by al55 Dec 03, 2009 (6:59 am)
I have a 2000 Venture that is having flickering lights trouble. I see that an earlier post it was solved by replacing the earthing bolt on the alternator. Is that just a fancy term for the alternator bolts that hold it in place? Or is there actually an earthing bolt that is not part of the securing bolts. If there is such an animal where in the world is it located? I know somewhere on the alternator itself but where? Any help out there for a weary traveler? Thanx in advance Replies to this message: 442dude (Dec 05, 2009 7:46 am) cboychuk (Dec 05, 2009 11:26 am)

Replying to: pastaboy (Nov 26, 2009 3:44 pm) I decided to pull the motor on the rear vent window and replace it with the one from the parts van. This solved the problem. It wasn't a wiring problem after all. The moter is very small and not heavy duty at all. Hope this helps somebody else.

Replying to: al55 (Dec 03, 2009 6:59 am) I had trouble with flickering dash & exterior lights on our 2000 as well. I just replaced the alternator and the problem went away. I figured if I was going to go through all of the trouble to get to it, while I'm there I might as well just replace it.   If you do it yourself, plan to spend at least 4 hours - there's a lot of stuff to remove & replace - might as well take your time. The quote I got from the mechanic was $ 750 to replace it due to all of the labor. The part was about $ 150 is I remember right.   Good Luck   Replies to this message: cboychuk (Dec 05, 2009 11:26 am)

Replying to: 442dude (Dec 05, 2009 7:46 am) i have a 98 venture that blinks interior and exterior lights as well. sometimes it will do it, sometimes it wont. also, my abs light was always on, now when i start it, its off, when i go to drive it the motor hesitates like a stall, than the light (abs) comes back on.
