This one is done by ElDorado National out in Kansas and is from Annapolis, Maryland. It is a basic van with rear heat/A/c for features beyond total basic Grand Caravan. Raised body with lowered floor, manual side load ramp that is very low angle incline and very light to lower/raise. Only thing to detract is that it is WHITE in color, I'm not a fan of white! BUT just as with my Lucerne, due to great purchase price, i'm not complaining. My friend gave me first "dibs" and price, I knew and he also said he could easily sell it for $15 - $16K.

Lots of conversion companies. My sons in laws have had two Braun Abilities wheel chair conversions. Their Grand Caravan Dodge is still on the road now. Large company I think Indiana head office, but branches every where.  Only one I have looked at closely, nice workman ship. People don’t generally beat on this type of vehicle and high cost encourages proper maint. So sounds like a great deal. You certainly know the mechanical systems well…and you are doing a nice thing for family. 

Btw. The replacement radio also does the same thing. It turns on right away when in ACC, everytime. As soon as you switch to RUN or start the car, screen goes black and all controls are dead. I assumed it may have been a module in the radio but having the same exact problem with a separate “tested” radio is telling me different. 

Are you thinking it may be the screen? It comes on in acc right away, everytime, with no issue. Would the TGW have any variation from ACC to RUN? I have a high end scanner at work that I will hook up to the vehicle and check modules. I will post any codes I see, thanks!

You need to have it scanned with a higher level scanner.   One that can communicate with all the modules.   The module that runs the display screen is called the TGW - Telematics Gateway module.   It has a list of codes for it.   Do this and post the codes. Then, I can check my resources.    

Hi everyone, first post here and I’d like to start by saying all the information covered on this forum by everyone is awesome! I’m a member of other forums for other vehicles and this forum is definitely in the top few! Now, onto the issue. My wife’s 2014 journey sxt 2.4L is having some issues. On our last trip to CO, during 10 degree weather, the radio didn’t come on during a start up. After looking at all the tips and tricks I pulled the fuse to no avail, disconnected battery over night with no luck and have tried holding the volume and tune, pushing the eject button, putting radio into dealer mode etc.. nothings worked. Fuses are all good, I even went to the extent of removing the radio and opening it to inspect the board, which looks fine. I also went to the extent of ordering another factory radio, matching the same exact model numbers etc, and it does the same exact thing. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this? It’s obviously not a power to radio/ screen problem because it comes on in acc. I doubt dodge would run to separate power wires for acc and run modes. Only thing I can think of to do next is check incoming radio power voltage while switching from acc to run and see what happens. If anyone has any insight or suggestions I’d appreciate it! Thanks all!

Thanks both for your answers. The whole brake system (all calipers) was completely revised. All calipers move normally and the rotors and pads are completely new. I had the same soft and low brake pedal with the smaller brakes too. Actually it was perfect (no soft and low) but the dealer made a brake fluid change and then the pedal became soft and low. I use the parking brake every time I park the car. I'll try to perform brake air bleeding wit the diagnostic software.

It looks like my DJ stable will be SHRINKING DOWN this early summer. I have a buyer for the 4 cyl. project car and I will be trading my '14 to help get a 2014 Grand Caravan {3.6} wheelchair van to be able to take my father out of the nursing home for Dr. appointments and short afternoon "day trips" along with my mother as their chaufer . Both are going crazy being stuck inside the facility and need time "out and about" to relieve "stresses". Wheelchair vans do not come cheap, but I can get this one through my friend for $10k. and well worth that price. Of course sales tax and registering/insurance is on top of that figure to deal with.  I will be the registered owner, even though funds of my parents will be used in this purchase, long story, but I have siblings that can't keep up proper maint. or knowledge of WHEN to get a car in for repairs. SO my vehicle, my say how and who might also use it for transporting my father BESIDES ME. and when they "pass", I will have SOMETHING to remember them by. I will keep you all "posted" about the van, and will still have the wifes '13rt Journey. My son says he's going to try for 2 more years with his '11 Journey.
