2003 Chevy venture power locks will lock but not unlock

When I put the car in drive and go the doors lock automatically, but when I stop with the van running and try to use the power lock to unlock them they will not unlock. They won't even unlock when the van is off, I have to use the manual unlock button.

SOURCE: Radio, Key auto door lock/opener, interior lights not working.

Most likely is a fuse. There is a fuse box at the end of the right side of the dash. Open front passenger door and there is a cover that says fuses on the end of dash. There is also a fuse box located under the hood at the right front of engine compartment. It should have a cover with a round knob in the middle of it .Unscrew the knob to remove cover.

SOURCE: Venture van power door problem

It sounds as though one of the proximity sensors is faulty. Also try giving the tracks for the door a good shot of white spray lithium grease. The door may be binding enough so that the emergency reverse is kicking in.

SOURCE: power door lock on the chevy venture 2000 don't

check the system fuse and or circuit breaker. check the switch wires for damage and loose connections. check the switches for continuity. remove the door panel(s) and check the actuator wiring connections to see if they're loose or damaged. inspect the actuator rods if equipped to make sure they arn't bent or damaged or loose connections. the actuator can ce momentarily. a discernible click indicates that the solenoid is operating properly.

It sounds like you've got a broken wire on the drivers side door. Usually this occurs at the flex point of the wiring harness. Peel back the outer covering carefully exposing the wires inside. Repair any broken or those about to break. Solder & retape or shrink rap with heat gun.Hope this helps. Good luck!

My 2003 Chevy Venture van will lock all the doors with the door lock but it will not unlock the doors.

I would try a replacement used lock/unlock switch panel before anything else,it would cost almost nothing used and usually fixes this problem,and the switch panel pops out easily for replacement Next possibility would be a broken wire where the wires flex at the door hinge area.Grab one wire at a time and pull firmly until you find a broken one. Make sure the replacement switch panel is a known working one.

Both Power Locks Lock But Wont Unlock. Remote will unlock the doors

If the remote key fob locks and unlocks the doors then the problem is more than likely the power lock switches, this is a common problem on the Venture Van.

Have a 2004 Chevy Venture van with faulty power door locks. They will lock with the switch but will not unlock with the switch. Need schematics of the power door lock system. Thanks.

I don't have a solution, but a related problem. Our 2004 Chevy Venture power door locks are cycling (locking/unlocking) on their own while we are driving. This coincides with our remote keyless entry losing its effectiveness. I tried replacing the battery on the remote, but to no avail.
