2004 Chevy Venture. My battery light came on and I replaced the battery and it still came on. I took it to a local mechanic and he replaced the altenator and when I pick it up all of the lights on the dashboard were lit up so I left it for him to continue to look at. Then when I picked it up it appeared to be fine until I was driving for a couple of days then it happened again and then the battery which was 2 weeks old is totally drained. So again I brought it back. He replaced the computer and told me it was fine. So I am driving the car for 20 minutes and the same thing happens again, first the battery light comes on and then the abs and traction lights and the service tractions soon light as well. Please help I need advise I am running out of money.

The BATTERY Light coming on is telling the charging system is not charging the battery . Take it to a qualified repair shop . The abs traction lights coming on are due to low voltage .The charging system in your vehicle is computer controlled ,don't know what kind of mechanic you took it to ? Take it to a Chevy dealer

SOURCE: Transmission Traction "Off" light stays lit with Traction button

The traction control system is controlled through the Anti-lock brake system. The way it works is if one of your wheels starts spinning the ABS applys the brake to that wheel to transfer power to the oppsite wheel that is getting traction. If your ABS is bad then your Traction control won't work. To check it I would find a parking lot on a wet day. In an open space mash in the gas. if you hear the ABS system kick in and you don't squall the tires then your good. My guess is you won't. What I would be worried about is will my ABS work. When checking the traction control is a good time to check the ABS. Acclerate to around 15 mph, then mash the brake as your live depended on it. If you hear a motor run and feel a vibration or grind in the brake peddal, then it works.

SOURCE: traction system light and abs light come on at same time

You still have issues with the speed sensors. The wires that connect to the hubs are known for failure.

SOURCE: 2001 Impala Traction Activates unnecessarily

THE SPEED SENSOR IS LOCATED INSIDE THE HUB ASSEMBLY. THE TWISTED WIRES GOING TO THE SENSORS ARE PROBABLY AT FAULT. THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HARNESSES ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH A DEALERSHIP.

If all the rest of the lights in the dash are working, then it is the bulb. Just pull out the dash and replace bulb

2003 Chevy Venture: Battery light is on. Battery voltage tapers from ~12.45 volts on down when driven (I recharge it at home at end of drive). Battery is 10 months old. Took out 125A alternator. It...

Well it sounds to me like your alternator is bad, but the only way to know what is going on for sure is to take your vehicle to your local shop and have them preform a load test on your charging system. Most of the time the mechanic will do this for little or no charge because it only takes a few minutes. After this test is done they will be able to tell you for sure what is going on with no guessing. I hope this helps you out.

2004 Chevy Venture will not shift into gear

Had neighbor look at this same problem. Turned out the shifter cable linkage near the top of transmission had popped off. They popped it back on and works but a bushing in the clip probably needs replaced. The neighbor rewched over engined top between firewall and engine and popped it back on.
Works fine but does needs a clip/bushing part and auto parts store has to get from Chevy

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.

Hood latch

Try spraying the latch mechanism with WD-40 or similar light oil and operating the release cable a number of times. Check the condition of the release cable if nothing happens. The latch itself may have a broken spring due to the low temps.
