  1. How many miles on engine.? Fuel, spark, compression, timing. Oh yeah, good non contaminated fuel, bright blue spark, compression over 100ish psi, timing within 8 ish degrees of tdc, top dead center. Wag, (wild ass guess) crank position sensor. Doesn’t always set a code when it acts up.
  2. Yeah search is very crappy. If you read post, pull glove box bulb first. It could be switch keeping light from turning off. That fuse controls gb bulb.
  3. 2011 was the first version of Journey before current model that is now discontinued. Even dash itself is different in the 2009-2011, wrecker suggestion may have been useful.
  4. Your alternator seems fine, dropping to 13 when battery charged imo normal. Also cars have a go to sleep type delay of around 2-3 minutes after shut down before the voltage drops to its normal overnight draw. Digital clock radio memory etc should only draw around 40-80 milliamps. Key off, drivers door closed. Bluetooth module malfunctioning is the most common thing to cause parasitic draw. Not sure which fuse that is. Milliamps is more accurate measurement for draw, not voltage.
  5. Battery voltage is good, batteries like new. New fob wouldn’t likely help if it’s an antenna or RF transmission problem. My fobs don’t work as well in extreme cold that well either. Find myself manually triggering locks using the outside button on door sometimes. Auto locks slow to activate. Summer is completely normal operation.
  6. Someone is cashing in. Activity must be up. Will need to experiment with ad blockers.
  7. Multi meter set to continuity or beep setting. Cycle hood switch to see if it sometimes loses continuity. Or make up a jumper or pigtail and bypass switch completely for a few days.
  8. Welcome to forum. Which brand are working without flickering and no extra resistors?
  9. Same engine topic on Ram forum. It was a new aluminum housing that leaked, but it wasn’t a Dorman unit. It odd that it seems 90% of leaks are from 2014, the year the new cooler design came out. Buried on the Ram forum is a comment a dealer service department made that one of the oem suppliers was bad; root cause basically. Cant really be confirmed of course. https://www.ramforumz.com/threads/2014-pentastar-3-6-oil-leak.187951/page-4#post-2305118
  10. How old is the battery that is showing the low voltage ? Batteries can get weak in as little as 3 years. Battery lead acid chemistry causes voltage to drop a lot from room temperature, but yours seems excessive. You could get battery load tested at one of the auto parts places. Cold cranking amps could be weak just from age. Cleaning up the grounds, especially around strut towers where it gets rusty is always a good idea.
  11. Welcome to forum. Yes it could be a cylinder issue, compression if too low can cause misfire. A bad injector, not very common thing, could also cause misfire issue. Intake manifold seals if leaking air can also cause misfire codes. CPS crank position sensor which is a wear item at high milage, can cause misfire codes; although stalling engine is more common symptom. Lots of potential causes for misfire, unfortunately.
  12. Welcome to the forum. Does passenger side window work from its own door switch ? If it does, gently manipulate the rubber boot on drivers door beside the hinges. If they start working, it will confirm wires need repair.
  13. Which is good news, that’s a decent number. Might be two different problems or just one thing, hard to tell. You seem to have all cylinder 6 misfire causes covered except intake manifold seals, or maybe CPS sensor. They are a wear item and can sometimes cause misfire codes. Here is a list for p219b. You have a lot of that covered too. Still a few things. |P219B code possible causes Leaking or contaminated fuel injectors Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel Leaking evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve Exhaust or intake air system leaks Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is leaking or the valve is stuck open Ignition system Incorrectly seated engine oil dipstick, tube or oil fill cap
  14. iPad not playing the clip. Continuous droning is either power steering pump or automatically transmission hydraulic pump. Check steering reservoir and make sure it full to the proper level. If transmission oil recently changed, bring it back and have them check level (no dipstick on 3.6 tranny). How many miles on car; replacing fluid might drop the sound level, filter could be affecting flow. It’s older design 6 speed, so you won’t have Lexus sound levels.?
  15. If too crazy to track down cause. Could add a toggle switch to horn power feed. Enable horn when it’s really needed. Just a thought.
  16. I see what you mean, shows as number 3 part with no info. Odd. Auto wrecker or solder and heat shrink repair the old old pigtail.
  17. I find the fobs sensitive to battery voltage. As soon as the battery is just below 3.0 volts the remote will get flaky. Some dollar store batteries are old stock and might only be 3.1 out of the packaging. Leaves short service life. Cleaning contacts with an eraser helps connections.
  18. Specialized parts like that are probably dealer only. Dealer didn’t want to invest time in getting you a part number so you could buy it cheaper on line, maybe. This site is decent for pricing and ships stuff. Need to search for part. https://parts.motorcitychrysler.ca/p/Automatic-Transmission-Assembly-WITH-TORQUE-CONVERTER-Automatic-Transmission-Assembly/78900680/R8090720AH.html Not sure of part name, manual calls is rdu or rear drive unit I think. Might be in electrical parts section. If plug is damaged you might be able to solder and heat shrink the connections. Plug is only needed for removal really.
  19. Could be antenna issue for the rf signal coming in. What is voltage of the new batteries, new are 3.3 ish if not old inventory.
  20. Welcome to the forum. The washer pump grommet could be allowing tiny amount of air into system. Pump will cavitate from the air and not pump properly. Sitting over night allows the air to escape to top of reservoir so it works again. Mopar pump comes with new grommet automatically, some after market don’t. Part can be bought separately. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,2012,journey,2.4l+l4,1502335,wiper+&+washer,windshield+washer+pump+grommet,11107
  21. I had the rear axles out two years ago when replacing both diff side seals. A lot of work. When awd, traction control and abs is triggered; it usually ends up being a wheel sensor. Maybe failed internally where you can’t see it. Dealer scanner or big shop with expensive scanner might be able to retrieve a code to point you in right direction.
  22. Neither, it’s in the red circle in pic. It sits right against side of engine block. It’s called a flange gasket. So it is not normally disturbed if just changing coolant manifold assembly. Being thorough, you could change it out if you wanted. Most thermostats come with their own special gasket with a groove it. Like in pic, thermostat sits in groove nice and snug, then pops into housing also slightly snug.
  23. Large parasitic drain of 90 milli amps plus will wreck all batteries. Maybe gel survives, but even more money than AGM.
