Also have noticed that theoverhead lights above the dash will not go out. You have to use the override switch to turn them off.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
First off - Welcome to the Forum!

For the Overhead Lights - Try pushing on them while they are on. They can be used as "Map Lights" and can be switched on or off by pushing on them. I would bet that they are switched on.

For the Locks - I am guessing a loose wire either at the Body Control Module (BCM) or at one of the switches. Have you tried turning and holding the key in the door? That should also lock or unlock the doors (at least it does on my van).

For the Keyless Remote - There are some Programming Instructions listed at the top of this forum. You could give those a try and see what happens. I have used them to program my extra remotes I got from eBay.

I have a site that I keep some of the information about my van listed below. If you visit there, use the "Maintenance" and "Other Information" links to see some of the things that have happened to my van and what was done to fix it.

My 2001 Chevy Venture

Almost forgot - You might want to visit the Chevy Venture, Pontiac Transport, and Olds Silhouette forums too. These vans are all pretty much the same, except for trim packages.

Take Care,
