Good evening folks. A few months back I picked up a 2005 140" high top with 74k and couldn't be more excited! A week and change after picking it up I went to the meet up in Petaluma and saw some great work and met some nice people, right on for putting that together. After getting to know the van a bit and getting lost down a few rabbit holes here on the forum I got a couple issues I'm hoping to get some help with. I've got a couple electrical gremlins
The first I believe is with the ATC. The heater control valve has a mind of its own and the coolant pump (which the PO bypassed) will squeal like a banshee no matter what condition the van is in. The AC works and the temp controls work (the light behind the right half of the ATC is out too) but I think that the heater control valve may have been the culprit of a dead battery a few weeks back. I see there are a few Ebay vendors selling repairs for these units, is there any body here on the forum that does the repairs or any body come recommended?
Twice now after longer drives (more than 4 hours) the blower fan will come on full blast when I turn the van off, could this also be an issue with the ATC?
The instrument cluster light works if I have the lights turned on and the key in position one or two, but it goes out once the van is running. This only started a couple of weeks ago and in case I'm using the wrong description I mean the light that displays the speedo and tach and gauges for night time.
And lastly I had a strange No Start on 4th of July that I still can't wrap my head around and will dive into previous posts before I get too deep.
This is the first forum I've joined and I look forward to sharing anything I run into and appreciate the vast info and knowledge you folks have shared here for everyone, cheers
