1. check your a/c fuse to make sure it is good. 2. locate the a/c low pressure switch (should be on top of the a/c dryer. disconnect it from the dryer and by-pass the switch with a jumper wire while the car engine is on. if this makes the a/c compressor come on then quickly disconnect the by-pass wire to keep from damaging the a/c compressor (because you are low on freon and the low-pressure switch turned your compressor off to keep it from getting damaged).

best advice is the method i would use to located the orifice tube in the 2000 chevy venture. check the automotive repair book section in your local library. Most libraries have repair manuals on their automotive shelf section. find the a/c manual for your year and model car. make a copy of the page that has the information you need. you will need to make a copy because the library will not let those manuals be checked out. you might want to google for the location of the orifice tube location. I hope this helps.

Although the specific nature of your question is unclear, I believe that you are trying to say that your wiring harness burned or broke. The best course for finding a replacement is, literally, the junk yard. Unless you're willing to spend an enormous amount of money at the dealership (hundreds of dollars) for a wiring harness, the junk yard is your best bet. As for the van "wont turn over," if you believe that the failure is because the wiring harness is obviously burned or broken, yes, that would be a start. If the wiring harness is BURNED, it would be advisable to check parts like the IGNITION RELAY and the STARTER SOLENOID to be sure that they did not cause a high current condition that, in turn, caused the wiring harness to burn. If I am off-base with this answer, it is only because your question was so vague and minimalistic. I would recommend, in future, using a few more well-chosen words to make your question more clear. Best of luck to you!

You did not mention what vehicle is experiencing this problem. If you have tried the other solutions posted, check the coolant temperature sensor (there may be more than one) - depending on the vehicle, a sensor controls the fan either through the ECM or directly, via the fan relay.
