i’ve seen quite a few of these vans with this issue, i would do a google search on this, i found a ton of info on this issue
It may not be the motor itself. I had this happen to a 2003 Venture. The motor was fine, it was gearbox and linkage for the wipers that broke. Not saying it can’t be the motor, because mine had other electrical issues like the horn wouldn’t shut off (pulled the fuse), power locks wouldn’t lock; they would unlock, but not lock (disabled that too, because I got tired of the locks unlocking every time I turned the van off, then walking around the van locking all five doors). May have to dig in to see what failed. No I don’t have that van anymore.
I have the same issue with the doors only way to unlock all doors is to put it in neutral and start it then turn it off then to park doors lock but won’t open I would have to see what’s wrong then with wipers they work but like I said stuck up right
139,274 ok this is how many miles is on this van planning to go to Florida Wednesday what should I have looked at in order to have a safe trip there and back sorry for the change of subject figure I put this topic here because it still has to do with the Chevy venture
Make sure you don’t have a coolant leak. You probably don’t yet. It could happen in the next few thousand miles, or 80,000 miles from now, but you will develop a coolant leak right side, rear corner of the engine compartment. It will be a broken head bolt, causing the head gasket to fail. When it happened to my van, I think I was quoted $1,400 to fix. After a buddy called me on the phone and clearly knew the problem without looking at it because he’s a retired GM engineer, I understood the problem. He said there is a chance the broken head bolt won’t come out, and I will need a new engine. The following week, we traded it in. GM knew about it before it went into production is why my buddy knew the problem just from being told I had a coolant leak.
I don’t like giving bad news, but you may get over 200k out of it before it happens. It will happen, and it will be up to you if you fix it. Other than that, I don’t think you’ll have much trouble.
No I can’t do that it was the first car we got financed and paid off funny I am looking for a Honda hear there easy to work on so plan on getting one to be my guinea pig for my first project
