A few times now when I put it in drive it won't go...feels like it is struggling, like I am riding through tons of mud (or something is stuck under the wheel) but then it finally goes. Very weird problem.
Is there anyone who has had this problem, and how did you resolve it?
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?
Thanx in advance
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.
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

I have an intermittent ABS light coming on after driving on the wet roads or thru the slush. Then sometime it goes off while driving. When engine is stopped and restarted, it goes off. I would think if wires was damaged and salt/water would short the sensor, it would not reset after restarting the engine. In anticipation of this problem, I have RTV sealed the connector wire seals in the summer when I also changed the rotors. It was giving the same problems last year in the winter. Convoluted tubing is done but I used electrical tape to protect wires. Maybe there is a buildup on the surface and can not read the rotor signal? Can the sensor be cleaned?
Thanks in advance!
Keeps going i'll have to drive at night with a flashlight.
Need help to solve the mystery of why the low beam or daytime running lights(DRL) do not work but if I toggle the stick I get the high beam. I have been using the high beam for the past couple of days.
My panel lights and the front amber lights do work but the headlight does not come on.
I checked the fuse but could not see anything. Also since the fuse has multiple functions like panel lights etc they seem to be working.
I need some clue or direction to try and check for possible causes before I spend money at a repair shop.
HELP !! :-)
:confuse: :confuse: :confuse:
On our 2000 Venture, the DRLs were the front amber lights, not the low beam headlights.
I would pull & check the bulbs for the low beams 1st to make sure that they're both OK. Might be as simple as 2 blown out bulbs
We went on a long trip last week. On the way home (about 100 miles) the battery began to stink. I drove it on home and the fluid inside the battery was boiling. We assumed that the alternator was over-charging. (Those things are a pain to get out!!!) It shop-tested fine. What would cause this?? Is there some kind of voltage sensor that could be bad and sending a "0" voltage to the alternator, causing it to over-charge??
The battery had a bad cell and needed to be replaced. After I thought about it, I remembered that the initial sign that something was wrong was that the automatic sliding door would not work when the engine was running. I realized that there was not enough voltage on the battery to run the engine and the door at the same time. As the battery voltage got lower, the engine began to miss and cut out like the fuel pump was bad, but the manual said that the computer must have a certain voltage to control the various engine functions.
no lights at all ..except for the small orange line under PRD123 ....
but cant see what gear or what speed i drive..
darkness...
checked all fuses..all okay..
it s not the dimmer either..
best and worst scenarios?
much thx..
Levels 1,2,4,5 quit working, the module switch had overheated and melted, as well as the harness plug connected to.
Was there ever a recall on this?
I believe that the tail lights and instrument panel back light is controlled by the same fuse/module (from internet search) but I can't find a burnt fuse or which module it might be.
What fuse/module controls the tail lights?
My fuel guage did the same thing, it had not worked for over a year.
One day, after filling up my tank, I drive it for 18 miles and the gas light came on, saying tank was empty. After coasting to a station, it took 1 gallon of gas to fill it up.
Bottom line, I replaced the fuel pump and that fixed a lot of problems, as it was shorting out in other areas. My gas guage is now working.
After two weeks of driving problem free (or so I thought), my ABS lights came on, the service engine light, the flashers stayed on all the time. When I would step on the break and make a left turn, the flasher would flash very fast, take my foot off the brake, flashed normal. Battery light on, and the rear back up assist was dinging like crazy. "Then" the next day, every light on my dash came on, lights which I didn't know that I had, everything was going crazy. Then all the back exterior lights went out.
I took it to the dealership, and they found that both circuit boards, (behind the tail light assembly had fried. $400.66 later, I don't have any problems.
I was also told that those circuit boards regulate a lot of the wiring, and now I have a normal looking dash, with all the lights working.
I hope this helps you.
