I have a problem with my rear A/C in my Venture. I have owned this vehicle for over 4 years and basically we love it. I have read all of the issues on this board and I guess I consider myself lucky. I am wondering if there is a second set of connections for the A/C in the rear somewhere. I have no cool air coming from the rear vents unless It is really early in the day. I am in the Phoenix area and A/C is a necessity. Is there a second compressor or possibly a secondary place to check refrigerant pressures? I have already done the check under the hood and pressures are good! Please, any information that would help me out here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!!

1997 Venture van, extended. 105,000 miles. My heater fan switch suddenly stopped working on 1 thru 4. It only works on "high", position 5. Any comments? Just the switch? Resistors? How hard to replace it? Thanks Also, I've had so many of the problems everyone else has had. Caliper bolts falling out, over heating and having the head gaskets replaced. (water in the cylinder) I've had window switch failures, lost brakes and fluid when brake lines rusted out prematurely. Windshield wiper "home" or down position issues. Sometimes they stop in the up position when turned off. I've replaced the front pads and rotors several times, while the rear drum brakes don't seem to wear at all. I've done all the repairs myself except the head gaskets. |

Replying to: modrace18 (Jan 27, 2008 10:42 am) The switch is most likely OK. You may want to check it before replacing this blower motor resistor but I'd bet $ 1.00 that your resistor is the problem. Its located in the passenger side footwell behind the blower and mounted to the firewall. Remove the blower motor and you'll see it. Its got the footprint of a credit card and is less than 1" tall with a bunch of wires attached to it. If you follow the power wires from the blower it will lead you right to it. Before you remove it, make sure the connections are tight and try it one more time. If that does nothing - Take out the 2 small bolts holding it in and replace. Part is around $ 20.00. You'll need to be pretty flexible to get to it but other than that its easy to replace. Its a common problem on the Venture. Make sure you check your fuses 1st though. I think the # 5 speed has its own fuse so if you've got a bad fuse for the other speeds it will still work in # 5. I'm still betting that the resistor is the problem though. Also, the fail to park on the wipers is typically the wiper motor going bad. Another common Venture problem. Its not really too hard to replace either. I'd post the procedure but its got too many steps to type. Get a haynes or chilton manual, its in there with pics...the haynes manual even has a diagnostic step by step procedure to do it. Good Luck... John

I have a 2000 Chevy Venture, and recently, I noticed that when I turn on the AC or heating, the air blows out of all the vents at once (the ones by the feet, the vents on the dashboard, and the ones by the windshield). Turning the nob that's supposed to control this does nothing. It used to work fine. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks!

The vacuum hose that provides vacuum to the switch has become disconnected. look behind the vent position control knob and locate the vacuum hose that is attached to it. Is it not attached? if its ok there, open the hood. the other end of the hose attaches a vacuum port on top of the engine, just above the accessory belt. You'll see it, it attaches there, jumps across and wraps around the washer reservoir before heading to the firewall. it may have fallen off or it may be broken, kinked or split. If you're still OK, go back in the car and disconnect the vac supply hose and then start the car. You should hear/feel the vacuum in the hose. No vacuum???The hose is plugged - run a new one through the firewall and attach it to the port on the engine. Our 2000 Venture had a plugged hose... 2. The switch is shot. Basically, if you've got vacuum the switch should work - very rare that the control switch is dead. |

My problem is with my '04 Venture van since it was new. When I set the temperature control anywhere in the cool zone, and vent control to any setting which includes the floor vents, I get cool air coming out of the upper vents and hot air coming out of the floor vents. On long trips I get a hot foot as the floor vents blow right onto my right foot. I have to use the cruise control to get some relief and/or take off my shoe. The sides of the centre console also get quite warm. Needless to say, the A/C works against itself and I have to set it to max to get normal temp. After years of complaining, my dealer finally admitted there is a problem. They've taken it in recently and after taking the centre console apart and replacing the actuator(?) control (from another van as they weren't sure this would solve the problem) the problem persists. The dealer mechanic said they got in touch with GM engineers and they said they had no idea what the problem was, but to let them know when the dealer found the cause of the problem. I'm taking it in tomorrow again for as second try. I figure they'll be taking it apart again and look some more. They might or they might not find the problem. I have a 1,500 mile trip coming up this weekend (to Fla.) and I sure would be thrilled to get my climate control finally working normally. (So would my wife). |
