What other than 1999, 2002 vehicle will interchange with my car listed above? Want to change the fuel pump housing so the gas gauge will work. It either reads full or empty, pretty sure it's the contacts on housing. Don't want to buy whole assembly was going to pull one off wrecked vehicle if can. The wrecking yard here doesn't have vehicles older than 2004.

The 2002 Chevrolet Venture shares a platform with several other GM minivans, such as the Pontiac Montana, Oldsmobile Silhouette, and some models of the Buick Rendezvous. Generally, these vehicles would have a good chance of having parts that can interchange, including the fuel pump housing, given that they have the same powertrain.

However, it's important to note that even within the same make and model, there can be differences from year to year and trim to trim that might affect the compatibility of parts like the fuel pump housing. Therefore, it's not always a guarantee that a fuel pump housing from another vehicle will work in your Venture, even if the other vehicle is from the same family of GM minivans.
