No crank, no start, no codes - Chevy Venture

Does your car have anti-theft installed?

Possibly a battery cable or wire terminal corrosion issue. Take a very close look at the battery cables and the grounds.

There should be a wire harness that runs under the drivers seat. Apparently, it gets all corroded from water and causes no start issues.

It does not have anti-theft as far as I can tell. I bought it used. I did replace the battery posts and cleaned the cables, but i will check the grounds and cables again. I also did check the wiring harness under the drivers seat and it does not appear to be corroded. Could a crankshaft position sensor cause this problem?

If everything seems to be good that you have tested, I would try a new ignition control module. I think they're around $80.

Also check where the battery cable goes to the starter solenoid. Sometimes on other Chevy vehicles, the connections corrode and cause power distribution problems.

Some times I have power on the dashboard n other times I don't

John, have you played around with the dash dimmer switch to see if there's a short?

I have a problem I have power to my alternator when fuse burn out whennew fuse gets put back in no power to my alternator

454545, you have a shorted or pinched wire. Check the harness very carefully between the alternator and the battery. If you've had any work done to it lately, check the area where the work was done. Keep us posted with what you find.

I need help my 2000 venture wont start.an the dash board it's says security

i have tured the head lights on they work and dash board lights do work all i get is a clicking sound when i first turn the key but nothing else all my wires look to be in good shape

Bear1192, It should be one of 3 things. An old battery with very low voltage, a bad starter, of faulty alternator. If you don't own a volt meter, just try a jump start. If she turns over and starts, I would suspect it's the battery. If it's over 5 years old, that's a good place to start. If your battery is new, locate your starter motor, have someone turn the key all the way to the start position and hold it there, as they hold the key, rap on the starter motor with a hammer. If the car suddenly turns over, you have a bad starter. Post back with results. If you do have a volt meter, test the battery with the engine off. If below 12 volts, replace battery. If you get the car to run with a jump, hit the gas and bring up your RPM's. If the headlights get brighter, that should be a good indication that your alternator is working. Again, that's just a quick test you can do if you don't own a volt meter.

I have an 03 Chevy Venture Minivan I replace the battery and the alternator and still have no power no ding when I put the key in no lights what could be the problem

Anthony did u find the problem

Anthony, the first thing I would do is check the fuses and relays. If okay, I would suspect an ignition issue. When you say "no lights", do you mean dash lights or headlights or both?

I have 2003chevy venture i changed both crank sensors and car still not starting what should i do next

Ducato_838, I assume it's cranking over forever and not firing? If so, you may have a bad fuel pump or relay. If you remove fuel cap and place ear to the hole, can you hear the pump hum when someone turns the key to accessory? You can also try putting the tip of a large screw driver to the bottom of the tank and then press your ear against the handle. That's another good way to see if you can hear the fuel pump.

Hello I'm new to this I have a 03 Chevy Venture I had a few things changed on it already sometimes it starts up and then it'll be awhile before it starts up again what do you think it could be

GuruMZP9- Sounds like you have a part that fails when hot. Is the check engine light on? If so, have you had the error codes read yet? What are the things that have been changed out so far? Did you change these parts because of the no start issue when hot?

When you disconnect the power to work on your car and the car will not start afterwards, you have to pull out the fuse called ign. (nr 1, one of the big fuses. The fusebox that is located above your battery. When you put it in again it will reset, and you can directly start.

I also have a similar problem with my 2000 Chevy Venture...my engine won't start, there's a slight click and then a sort of light swoosh sound and then the red battery light will show...and then the yellow security light ...and then back to the red battery light and then the yellow security light again...over and over. Is this a security system I can reset with the 10 minute or 30 minute trick to get the security light to go out, then wait 20 seconds in off position, pull the key out and then attempt to restart the engine? There is also this message..."CAL ERR"...sometimes coming up on the screen of my car radio screen. Can anyone help?

I have a 2002 chevy venture. It Sat for several years. I replaced the battery, it was dead. Then my shifter cable broke. Rigged it to run. Now the steering column is locked. Key will not turn. Tried to turn steering wheel left and right while trying to turn key. No luck

Here is the problem everyone. If your cig lighter fuse both sides don't have power, no crank at all, engine light doesn't turn on, gas gauge not working. Then look at the pcm wiring. Driver side front underneath the coolant bottle. then remove the ecm and open up the wiring harness, you will see an orange wire possible broken. Looking carefully there might be a few more wires that are about the break also. Fix the broken wire on the orange wire and i guarantee everything will work.

Does this work with the gauges to

I had the same problem.I found a wire under one of the relays that was corroded through. It was on the frame between the battery and the radiator.

i have a 2003 chevy ventrue wont start was runing hot whats wrong with it

How hot was the engine when you shut it down? The engine temp after shut down (if the electric fan does not come on) will spike to the point of seizing the engine. Have you tried to turn-over the engine using a wrench on the nut holding the crank pulley?

i have a 2001 chevy ventrue wont start no dash light tested the battery and was good have door ding and stereo power but wont even click when i turn the key

You with no crank,you should connect a multi meter to your solenoid switch on your starter and engage the ignition switch to see if your volts go down If so your getting fire to your starter If you are you may have a bad solenoid or defective starter.
