  1. if you are not getting any air blowing out then probally the blower or the blower motor resister or a fuse , hard to tell over the internet, do you have dual air or just the one system?
  2. sure would be interested to find out what they wrote on the work order and saying what they had to do to fix this and also was this covered under warranty or how much did they charge you, info for others that might come up with this problem
  3. please report back on what they find out for others that might have the same problem. good luck
  4. i would replace your battery as it is at least 3 yrs old and even tho it test good, journeys like a strong battery, my last battery wouldn't start the journey and I called a tow truck as the neighbors jump start unit wouldn't start it either, so the tow truck guy got here and checked it out and said well before i load it let me try my jump pack which he had a professional unit and the journey cranked right up and i took it down the street to a local garage and they checked the battery and said well it testing low but still good,,i said hell no put in a new one....as well my lights and other things in the journey worked as well before getting the jump......
  5. well at my dealership there is a 129 charge for diagnostics charge that goes towards the repair if they do the job, sounds like there is more of a problem than just the computer that was mentioned,yes dodge dealerships are a higher cost but also they usually are more qualified on what repairs they do than your local garages, sorry you are gong thur this mess but my advise is to pick ! mechanic and only 1,,,to fix it otherwise you are just throwing parts at a vech. that might not be needed
  6. after reading this posting ,, i decided to use some DuPont dry film silicone spray that i bought off amazon, as i had read somewhere that a person used something like this to spray the bushings under the front end to help with squeaks and they said it helped, at first i did the upper strut collar with wd 40 and regular silicone lube and just sprayed the hell out of both sides and took it for a drive and the squeak was still there so came back and turned the wheels all the way to the left and then used the DuPont dry film spray on the sway bar bushings and also i believe it is the lower control arm that connects to the body of the car or frame, and then also sprayed the strut arm stabilizers bushings as well , did both sides and then the wife and i took off to her Dr office about 30 miles away in a bigger city so did a lot of twisting and turning going thur that town and never did hear the squeak again i believe it was the control are bushings was the ones making the noise, dont know how to post a picture but it is the bushing i sprayed, was around the size of a hockey puck that was bolted up to the frame, flat side up,,, will re post the results on how long it last squeak free this DuPont dry film lube is supposed to last a long time according to their literature i had bought it 4-5 months ago and forgot to try using it with everything that has been going on with the wife's health problems
  7. some say they think have found the reason for the squeak when going over bumps or pot holes, but no real solution, some say the strut bearing collar at the top is the culprit as well which makes sense it only happens when going over a small bump or whatever,,,, and yes every once in a blue moon i have gotton the clunk from the trans shifting as well but has been a very long time since i have heard it and have 110 k on my 2014
  8. just get used to it,just about every one has the same noise,mine included
  9. can he disconnect at the top side remote location or does it have to be from the battery itself?
  10. never had any problems with my 2011 mainstreet with the alignment I traded it in at 70 k on my 2014 crossroad and have 110 k on it now but i have had more trouble with keeping this journey in alignment,about 2 yrs ago i had the upper rear trailing link/control arm replaced with adjustable ones as the OEM were non adjustable and as a precaution i bought a lifetime alignment contract from Quick Lane ( owned by ford dealerships), any ways every time i rotate the tires every 5k i have the alignment checked as well since its free and most of the time it is out of alignment either front or rear, or both, i understand if it just a little bit out they say it needs to be corrected and most drivers wouldn't even know it is out enough till it ruins a tire which is what happened to my rear tires with the upper rear trailing link/control arm, i dive like an old man (which of course i am), most of all my driving is on good quality roads( mostly all blacktop, hardly no concrete roads)and i always swerve if i see potholes. i swear someone can look at my crossroad crosseyed and it would get out of whack...LOL front end checks out great according to the mechanic nothing out of the ordinary he says
  11. not sure on the 2009 but yes there is a fuse box under the glove box covered by carpet or another cover up high real hard to see and get to.

    new ram pickup

    actually not me getting a new pick up but my son in, he law bought a 2021 ram 2500 Tradesman automatic 4 wheel drive with the turbo diesel, it listed 58 k but my employee price for him was 48 k and they gave him 42 k for his 2 yr old Chevy pick up that he bought new for 43 k, so sounds like he got a great deal, the only thing is DAM trucks and cars are getting so expensive it is hard to see how people are paying for them,,, LOL the most expensive vehicle i have ever bought was 22 k
  13. iv always replaced the whole tensioner when putting on a new belt,as sometimes they lose their strength, yes more expensive but never had a problem by doing this also this was advice handed down by my father, did the new belt get wet with antifreeze somehow? would assume either a misalignment of the belt to pulleys or loss of tension is the cause for your noise,,,good luck
  14. just re posting this issue with the site,come on who ever started the site ,update and add when a person post a question to have standard the normal question like yrs,engine size, to help avoid the 20 question problem
  15. sounds like you know what you are doing ,what was the cost of the kit from dodge to do this repair???,,,glad you figured it out and reported back on your success
  16. it is the blend door under the glove box it not working that is why you dont feel air coming out there do a you tube search for videos on it
  17. i joined the jeep patriot forums couple of yrs ago as my daughter uses one for her mail route, about the same as our journey except now i see they are wanting to charge around $20. a yr for their PREMIUM Patriot forum privilege which entails............

  18. Ohare is on to it,probally your axle cv joints ,you tube will provide you example of how they sound when you are turning, i believe if you are turning right in a sharp turn and hear clicking then its your left one. not hard to do but usually requires a air wrench and a few odd size sockets and a torque wrench ,pry bar...OEM parts are more expensive but they are better quality,most part store cv joints have smaller ribbed rubber boots which can tear or rot out faster when the journey is turning in a tight circle...as the old saying goes you get what you pay for,,,,good luck also only do one side at a time do not do both side together as pulling both sides out of the trans at the same time will cause a lot of problems
  19. since you were vague on info ,that was the reason for my answer, i also have the max warranty so yes i know how it works, sorry if you thought i was being a know it all was just trying to help. the dealership should find your problem for you, SO did they replace the ball joints?
  20. surely to god if they were replacing the control arms they would have replaced the ball joints at that time, you might need to find a different mech sounds like they are doing the shotgun approach...also be aware that almost all journeys at one time or another make a noise going over a speed bump at slow speed or when turning and going over a bump or pothole ...How long have you owned this journey
  21. hope it stays working for you. and maybe the wd 40 loosen some corrosion, but my luck on what you did was just kicking the can down the road for a while but at least you seem to be on the right track with the door wireing good luck and keep us informed
  22. no you have seperate blend doors one for each side as well there are two separate areas of the heater core as well from what i have read,google you tube with your yr and dodge journey about blend doors, the passenger side is under the glove box and in a real tight area to get to simple to replace just 2 screws but hard to get to you tube has many videos on this repair,, also befor removing it try tapping on it as you cycle the settings sometimes they get stuck..good luck
  23. my daughters caravan rack and pinion started leaking at the left wheel seal and was filling the rubber boot before it finally busted and let the power steering fluid leak out, how in the hell did it leak into the journey as it is outside of the cabin unless their is a seal where the steering part goes thur the front engine wall, oh well at least you found the problem with the fluid leak
  24. best advice here the cheapest to do and also the most important as well
  25. actually the manual calls for the plugs to be changed every 30 k not 60 k on the 2.4
