Remote FOB Problem with my 1998 Chevy Venture
Mileage = 200,000+
Engine size = 3.4
GM tech = JK
question = Need to program a keyless remote. This is the second one I
have had. It had worked and then stopped. Bought a new one and followed
program instructions like before but nothing happened. All locks will open
with key in the door, but locks don't open with inside switches or remote. Any
suggestions?
This does not sound like a remote problem.
The locks are controlled by the Door lock receiver.
Sounds like you either have a problem in some wiring splices, or maybe
one of the door lock switches, or even both.

Common Lock Problem
2001 Chevy Venture warner brothers edition. 3.4L V6.
Question: My van makes a crackling sound at start up but it goes away and no more noises occur
after its started, the lights before start up are dimmer and the power seat doesn't move as quickly.
What is wrong and whats the approximate cost of the repair.
Answer: This sounds like a weak battery problem. A weak battery will
cause things like relays, lights and switches to buzz, flicker or work
slowly. Check to see if the battery cables are tight. A fairly common
problem is that when you try to tighten the cables, the lug in the
battery will twist or even pull out of the battery. You would need to
replace it and possibly the cable bolt or entire cable.
