my daughters patriot 4 wheel drive was making a clunking noise when turning both ways but not all the time and when turning in a full turn no clicking sound i was thinking cv joints but wasn't sure what as they looked good when i checked them visually, anyways her reg mech said both front c v joints were bad and replaced them and the noise went away.

dont understand about the cables touching each other as they couldn't have been attached to the battery to short out to each other?

i would be making a trip back to where you had it worked on last and be raising some hell for sure, as said they never replaced the nut and spring washer on that axle and would demand that they fix it for you

i have them in my journey, they come with the 2 holes in them but you really dont need the hooks as these mats fit so perfect that there is no way for them to move around, they fit the floor pan exactly perfect.. i really love them just pull them out and and dump any thin g that is on top of them or vacuum them and put them back in... NOW they are not a carpet like mat. more like a plastic type of fiber that doesn't absorb water but they look great.. they are a great price on Amazon right now for around $83. for the 2 front mats in gray and around $70. for the black which i have............AMAZON 3D MAXpider Carpet Floor Mats for Dodge Journey 2012-2020 Custom Fit Car Floor Liners, Classic Series (1st Row, Gray) Visit the 3D MAXpider Store 4.2 out of 5 stars 18 ratings Price: $83.60 & FREE Shipping

14WhiteRTRallye showed how to turn it off thur the display

piece of sheet metal and some pop rivets, if you cant find one check your local junk yard /salvaged yards

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NIRU26O/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER i bought some of these about 1-2 yrs ago and they fit really great so if you carpet pads are wearing out this is the cheapest i have seen them on amazon i paid about $80 when i bought mine,,,, the price changes daily on amazon

when my grandsons trans went out on his car i just rented a tow behind dolly and we rolled it onto it no big deal and a lot cheaper than a tow truck

I concur as well....

i am old school on the 3.6 6 speed they recommend changing at 100 k ,had mine changed at 65 k and will do again at 120 k...only makes good sense as no fluid will last that long without degrading and buildup with gunk, i did cheat and lwt the dealership change it as i got a great service price on having it done

was just checking lkq and found out the 3.6 engines are listed almost 1k cheaper than the 2.4 are, guess because their are more of them available

i assume you have had the alt checked since you say the lights dim while at a light,also some have said their problem with dead batteries was the fuse that controls their blue tooth and by pulling it ( the one under the glove box solved their problems)good luck and please report back on what you find to be the problem

going back to the dodge magnum style wagon

lol you tube is the greatest teacher there is,if only we would have had it back 30-40 yrs ago,, if you get a chance watch fix it angel he is really great but he mostly works on imports, but this guy does more with just one hand than most of us do with two hands i watch it all the time

have used the Monroe quick struts on my daughters mail caravan and never had any problems with it anymore, easy to install as well

weather you have the 2.4 or the 3.6 you will also have to buy a spark plug socket that is magnetic as well as the hole the plugs go into are about 3-6 inches deep, i change my daughters 2.4 plugs for her and bought a plug socket but it wasn't magnetic just had the rubber plug that is suppose to hold it in and it still keeps falling oust of the socket so i grabbed a 6 inch piece of air line tube off my wife's oxygen concentrate ( one of the old tubed that is) and stuck it onto a small Phillips screwdriver and the other end fits over the connector on the plug and that way i can install the plug hand tight before using the ratchet to tighten it....

had a 89 pickup truck and it caught on fire under the hood, insurance covered the cost to fix it new hood and all sorts of electrical harness repair and a complete paint job as well looked great but it wasnt to long i started to notice some glitches in the way the truck was starting and running so,I traded it in on a new dodge truck before it started to go bad..................they wanted to replace the wiring harness but they had a hard time getting one so they patched it up

try removing the Bluetooth fuse from under the glove box, some posters on here said that was their problems on the battery draining on them. and i am sure dodge dealership could find the problem and fix it as well

the noise you are hearing is probally the heater blend doors closing and resetting,,takes them a minute or two to reset

i dont believe the 2.4 has a belt it uses a chain drive

bet it is the battery

welcome to the group, cruise thur the forums for some great info, at 133 k i would be checking on and doing if not done yet plugs use (OEM plugs only every 30 k) ,trans service, and probably coolant flush and service might even throw in a new thermostat as well....also ii would look over your bushings on the front and rear suspension as well...good luck and happy trails

also he is NOT talking about a trailer he is wanting to use a hitch carrier A BIG difference in the two items
