![]() Also for 2002 was a new steering wheel equivalent to the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala, replacing the steering wheel equivalent to the 1995-2001 Chevrolet Lumina. The exterior was refreshed in 2001, a back-up alarm was added to indicate possible obstacles behind the vehicle, and all-wheel drive was introduced in 2002. In 2000, the driver side sliding door became standard on all trim levels, when the passenger side only sliding door models of minivans have rapidly fallen out of favor since the 1996 models of Chrysler minivans. The Venture was one of the few minivans to have an 8-passenger seating configuration as an option when most minivans seated up to 7 passengers. All Ventures used a four-speed automatic transmission. After 1999, the engine was slightly redesigned to produce an extra 5 hp (4 kW), for a total of 185 hp (138 kW), and the alarm system for seatbelts, door ajar, low fuel, etc. The Venture and its siblings were powered by GM's 3.4 L LA1 V6, rated at 180 hp (134 kW). The anti-lock brakes were standard on all Ventures from 1997–2002, but became optional on the base models later on. The LT model was an upscale of the LS and was exclusively a long wheelbase model and offered a power driver seat (optional on the base and LS models), optional leather seats, a roof rack (optional on the base and LS models), and a driver side sliding door (optional on the base and LS models from 1997–1999). ![]() The LS came in both short and long wheelbases, and offered aluminum wheels, a varied seating configuration, adjustable head restraints, side airbags, power windows (optional on the base models), and a remote keyless entry system. The base models of the Venture were short wheelbase models which came equipped with cloth upholstery, front bucket seats with fixed head restraints, a 2nd-row 2-passenger bench seat, and steel wheels. ![]() The Venture came in three trim levels, the base, LS, and LT. In the United States, it was also sold as the Oldsmobile Silhouette and the Pontiac Trans Sport, which was later renamed as the Pontiac Montana for 1999 (2000 in Canada). The Venture was introduced to the market in 1996 for the 1997 model year as a replacement for the radically styled Lumina APV. Design elements of the Venture would later appear on Chevrolets in the 1990s. The concept vehicle featured a removable all-glass roof that allowed panoramic visibility. This vehicle was smaller in size than the full-size Caprice but larger than the mid-sized Celebrity. The Venture name was first used on a 1988 Chevrolet concept car. The Venture (along with other GM minivans, including the Opel/Vauxhall Sintra) was built in Doraville, Georgia. During the 2005 model year, the Venture (along with the Astro ) was replaced by the similar "new" 2005 Chevrolet Uplander. Among them were the Chevrolet Trans Sport (which was a Chevrolet Venture with the front end of the Pontiac Trans Sport). Up until 2005, Chevrolet Europe sold a few models, mostly United States domestic market (USDM) models modified to suit European regulations. Opel assisted in the development of the minivan as well. Identical minivans were also sold in Europe as the Opel Sintra, and in the UK, they were badged as a Vauxhall. I think I might have covered most of the issues.The Chevrolet Venture is a minivan produced by General Motors from the 1997 to 2005 model years. If your motors are running slow, there is most likely an issue with the wiring, particularly the ground. If more than one window is giving you trouble, the problem is most likely in the switch and wires. No sense tearing the door all apart to change the window motor if you don’t have to. A great deal of the time, the motor is not the problem. Next, using a wire diagram and a connector pinout chart, check that the switch is working by looking for power going toward the window motor.īefore blaming the motor, try all of these other problems. I have found the problem in the wire harness more times than not. This is a very common place for the wires to chafe and break or corrode. If you are not getting power to the switch, the problem could very well be in the harness where it goes thru the door jamb. Next, you need to check for power at your window switch. Most of the time you can find a diagram for the fuses in the owners manual or on the back of the cover(s) for the fuse box(es). Let me try to go thru a few issues that I have run into over the years.įirst off, as was said before, check your fuses. ![]() Alright, there are some different things going on with all the vehicles in this thread. ![]()
