just look for the blackened/burned pin on the rear light plastic connector and sand it down to re-establish a good electrical connection and save yourself $800 big ones on replacing the multiswitch.

Hello
Since written instruction are hard to follow for a job like this I am giving you a link to a 1A Auto video of the entire job of replacing the power window motor in any 97-05 Venture, this van is a 1998 but the job is exactly the same in 1999 Venture model. Here is the link to the video:

The blower motor location can change from year-to-year. It can also change with the trim level of the vehicle. A vehicle that has front and rear climate controls may be configured differently than a vehicle that has front controls only. The following are two different repair procedures. One is for blower motors located and accessed in the engine compartment, the other is for blower motors mounted inside the vehicle.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Engine Compartment Mounted

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the engine air cleaner assembly.
3. If necessary for clearance, remove the left hand wiper arm linkage.
4. Detach the wire harness connector from the blower motor.
5. Disconnect the motor cooling hose.
6. Remove the blower motor assembly retaining screws
7. Carefully pull the blower motor assembly out from the firewall.

Check the connections at the battery. These are very prone to corrosion and causing "gremlins" to appear. If the connections are not snug and clean you will get slow cranking, electrical problems, and poor charging on the battery. You can use baking soda and water with a wire brush. Please protect your eyes. You will need either an 8mm, 5/16" wrench or if the bolt is worn, use channel lock pliers on the round part of the bolt. Let me know.

Just replace it. Not worth cleaning.

In the next diagram, look the ECM (Engine Control Module) or called PCM (Powertrain Control Module), clikc over image for zoom...



Hope helps.

Fuel pump may have gone out, cranksensor may have gone out, Igition control may have gone out, when it when out how did is sound when you tried to start it?did any symptoms show up, when you cycle the ignition switch do you hear a fuel pump noise? just how did it sound when you tried to start it,did it have power no power did it click ?

thats great!! good to hear ,, happy you found the easy way out,, good luck

if anything moved prior to your replacing these items you could be on the exhaust side of the stroke vs the compression side,, (180 degrees out of time) remove the number one plug,, and this sounds dumb , but it works,, put your finger in the hole and crank the motor ( just tap the key ) be sure and remove the coil wire so it doesn't start !! when the motor tries to blow your finger out of the hole, thats the compression stroke, it will scare the heck out of you, but not to worry its cool. once you do this, Look at the marks on the gear,, do they Line up? check the alignment of the rotor, is it at the number one plug position ? this is a easy check to do, but the bad thing is, if the chain slipped while at high RPMs ,, it could have bent valves, in that case your car would be timed right,, you have valve problems,,

you have a bad window motor it doesnt have the power to push the window back up the reason it will go down is becasue the weight of the window helps push itself down but the motor is to weak to push the window back up replace the window motor and you will be all set

Its the coolant level... you need to fill the coolant system...

Get the o2 sensor checked.The o2 sensor before and after catalytic converter.Also check the fuel pump relay in the engine compartment fuse box under hood.Try cleaning the sensor, then check.If its getting to much fuel.then it can be problem with o2 sensor.Or fuel pressure regulator.Regulator is checked ok, so get the o2 sensor checked and replaced.----------------

The Low Traction Light comes on when the Enhanced Traction System (ETS) detects one(or more) of the wheels are "slipping" and do not match the speed of the other wheels. The speed of the wheels are detected through the Wheel Speed Sensor(WSP), respectively. This is a normal occurrence if for example you hit a patch of ice or some loose gravel and one of your wheels begins to spin faster than the other wheels.

However if you are describing a condition where you are at a stop or parked at the time the light comes on it would likely indicate that there is a fault in the ETS or in a different case The "Brain Box". If this is the case it is best to take the vehicle to a Legal Certified repair Facility or dealership as there are sometimes Service bulletins and specific testing processes that must be done in order to properly verify what the issue is.

I hope this can help you out.

if i remember correctly it is in the gas tank on fuel pump assembly

egr valve can be stuck closed

You need to contact a Honda dealer and provide your VIN# to get security code for your radio
