Two problems related to dash wiring have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Venture. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2 major wiring harness melted, replaced with wrong harness. . No cause found and dealer said it was ok for them to put wrong harness in!!! took original dealer 2+ weeks to fix and it was still not correct. I took it to my dealer and they spliced in new wires to make rear speakers work. They informed me the harness was from another model Venture but it was ok. Contacted Chevrolet by phone and letter and they were no help. They told me to work it out with the dealer.
