Question
hi, im having the same problems about the chevy venture brake lights (the same exact problem word for word) but mine is a 1998. please help!

your question

I have a 1997 chevy venture.  I am having problems with the turn signals and brake lights.  when the right turnsignal blinks, the tail lights and backup laight blink on and off, but not the turnsignal.  The turnsignal indicator on the dash also blinks faster than normal.  When the brakes are applied, the turn signals on both sides and the backup lights come on dim.  Also at at times the abs and antilock brake lights will come on when the car is started.  The abs and antilock brake lights and the turnsignal problems all started at the same time.  Any ideas what the problem could be?

 Hea , I would  first check all bulbs,flashers, as just 1 bulb can cause a lot of trouble. than you will have to have it hooked up to a computer to see what codes come up, you could have a bad sensor or some part could be bad or broken.   ok
