  1. change out the thermostat first ,,easy to do and also the cheapest,make sure you use the right coolant as well the temp should be around 200-205 normal and go as high as 218-220 then cool back down
  2. the cheap always comes out more expensive
  3. try your local part store also found this on you tube.........
  4. well all of a sudden my drivers door unlock switch started acting up not wanting to work you could hear the other doors trying to unlock but nothing from the drivers door, sometimes it would work after one or two pushes and when it did they all would unlock,tried cleaning the button with some contact leaner but no help there, did some research on aftermarket switches on Amazon very reasonable price but the reviews on longevity wasn't encouraging of course for 20-25 plus tax might have been worth it for some to try,,,cheapest OEM switch was around 160 with my 25% discount(retired chrysler employee) would have been around 120 plus tax,Sense I have my max Mopar warranty with just a 100 deductible only made sense to let them do it,ran by the dealership today and they verified it was the switch and ordered it and will be installed Monday... they are real easy to replace just pop them out with a plastic tool or I used the wife's bcbs medicare card...LOL and then just 2 connectors ,if I could have found a journey at a junkyard /salvage yard and got the part reasonable I would have done it myself,one reason I wanted to use OEM as it has lasted 10yrs of regular use so wasn't ready to gamble on the after market ones
  5. 2 inches of blue fluid showing on the oil dip stick, is to fluid I had marked mine ( 2014) yrs ago and 1 1/2 inch is the normal area for red fluid and also wrong color,
  6. go on lkq or your local salvage yard for a used ptu unit,if its not a replaceable seal ,then that will be your only option I would assume
  7. no 2.7 v6 in the U.S. region only a 2.4 4cly is used here other than the 3.6 v6 engine ,sorry about that,maybe someone will know the answer for you
  8. he should get into the abs module they are real hard to get new, I waited almost 2 yrs for mine from the dealership since it was a warranty issue and I could still drive it,,just got it fixed about 2-3 months ago
  9. More likely a bad battery or loose dirty connections at the battery,if battery is more than 3 yrs old just replace it and then have the alt checked
  10. good question for the dealership to answer,,,,,, please report back on what you find out
  11. are you losing any coolant? change out your rad cap as well...how overheated did you get it? have the engine head checked for crack or bad head gasket,is your heater core working as it should heat inside the journey?
  12. well I would fill the journey up with gas and see which is the accurate one, also reset your trip odd as well and then until you get it fixed go by your mileage on the trip or reg gas gage if it is reading correct as well...you could try removing the battery cables at the jump points under the hood and leave them off for 20 minutes or so and then reconnect them to see if that resets your gas light,,,if this doesn't help them looks like a trip to the dealership is in order
  13. Might be time to have the dealership OR a qualified garage check it out YES they charge a dig charge but I have always found they apply such charge towards the repair, sounds like you have covered most of what you can,time to let the pros check it out.please report back on what you find out to be your problem for others to learn from
  14. as most of the time just a simple mistake/connector not connected tight,,,Glad you got it fixed before throwing lots of parts at it.......
