had to google this as have never used one before, well the fluid doesn't look yellow or clear,of course it doesn't look blue either,,,, more green color, i would remove more of the org coolant before doing your next test,good luck

had a friend yrs ago and he said every once in a while his caravan wouldn't start and he would use a hammer and bang on his cat to loosen it up and then his van would start, of course this is only worked for a bit till they clog up completely

glad you got it fixed and also for reporting back on what happened ,,take care

well being a 2012 you might have a heater core starting to plug up since you said it wasn't working great before this happened.you might trying flushing heater core in a reverse flush to see if you have trash or contaminants in the core. also there is a quick way to remove the heater core and replace with a new one on you tube. good luck

doesn't the journey have 2 thermostats?

yes to see how the MMO works, of course that would be a lot of work just to see how or if it worked. i guess

would be interesting to see pictures after you use the marvel mystery oil

report back after replacing your battery even if it solves your problem so others will see what happened, pretty sure this will fix your problem,good luck

never heard this was a common problem with the lights, also sometimes my journey takes a few seconds of cranking as well, no worries in my head 2-3 seconds of cranking is no concern

link not working

I would assume all the windows work off the same fuse so if the others are working its more the switch or motor. or maybe a broken wire...also there are 2 fuse boxes ,,one under the hood and the other under the glove box up high behind the carpet...good luck

IF they tpms is the original from the factory then it is 9 yrs old the battery is going bad in it most likely

i use syn oil and mopar oil filters and i change it myself at 5-6 k intervals, i have a 2014 3.6 and 106 K on the clock and only once have i seen the change oil lite, yes i could go a lot longer according to the manual but I decided 5-6 k was good for me, when i do change it i havent lost a bit of oil and it still looks clean but i have the mopar max lifetime warranty and plan on driving it till the wheels fall off

LOL so much info you have given, try telling which side of the eng, what is near it shouldn't be to hard as they only reach so far the other connectors should be close by..Give as much info you can for a better answer to your question,good luck

just wondering what you consider high for a ded ? hope you can fix this yourself seems once they start having problems with the nav it becomes a head ache to figure out,i am sure there are some on here who can help you ,might take a while for them to see your post so be prepared for a couple of days to see some help

there has been a few on here asking how to fix a misfire on there 3.6,,As always all car manufactures have certain problems with their vehicles, and they improved the brake rotors after 2012 so no more problems with that, and have read that some have starting problems due to battery drain on their electrical system, that said i have had none of thoes problems and really love my journey. my advise would be a 3.6 with the 8.4 radio screen and i would stay away from the Nav radio as some have problems with it and also real expensive to update,also unless you really need awd just go front wheel drive as there is less to go wrong with all the extra drive train, which can get expensive to maintain and repair. good luck

most journeys are only covered 5 yr or 60 k from the factory ....The 60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty is more standard in its offerings, covering most of the engine and transmission components for five years. Specifically, you will get coverage for engine parts (internal parts, oil and water pumps, etc.), transmission parts (case, torque converter, sensors, etc.), and the drive system (front, rear, or all-wheel drive). As NavalLacrosse has mentioned i wouldn't get the 4 cly if i was you i have bought 2 journeys and have gotton the 3.6 eng as well had 70 k on my 2011 when i traded in on my 2014 with 106 k on it , no transmission problems on either as well, have had some small problems with both but nothing serious, i really love the journey and hate to see they are doing away with it after this yr, it took the place of the low budget caravan that they got rid of and dont know what young people are going to buy from dodge that has this much room in a vehicle...make sure you find one with the option you want as adding them can get expensive and difficult as well, like the 8.4 screen vs the 4 inch one, or regular radio vs the navigation on as well. good luck

that is one reason i dont like to buy parts thur the mail,, i live in Alabama and i use advance auto part stores and buy thur retailmenot.com . I buy it on line and then drive down to the store right away and pick it up (if in stock of course) and using the retailmenot.com I always gets a great discount usually $ 20-50 off depending on the cost of the parts, it works with other car part stores but not as good of a discount

so true,and like you we hardly listen to the radio unless on long trips,,,,actually the antenna is still working great just you can see the wires and such where the rubber is cracked all around it, thinking i might walk over to harbor freight and get some black shrink tubing and try that and see if it will work on hiding the cranks in the outer rubber coating or maybe some plastic rubber dip?

i read somewhere someone tried one of the fins but it didnt work right, also i seen on amazon about a similer antenna like ours only its about 3 1/2 inch long it got great reviews for it looking better and for being so short ,but there was quite a few saying it didnt pick up as good as the longer oem regular antenna did, actually i can buy the oem one cheaper than i can the ones off amazon, i am sure someone has mod their journey with the fin but think ill stay with the oem...

you didnt mention miles but might want to add a coolant flush and new coolant as well, then you will be up to date

welcome to the group

well was having my alignment checked last week and the guy was backing up with my journey and i heard someone holler hey stop to the guy i didnt pay any attention as i was close by and knew he hadnt hit any thing, but i didnt notice he must have hit the antenna on the roll up door that was half way closed, as when i was detailing the journey i noticed the antenna rubber shaft is cracked open and you can see the wire inside it,( there is a copper wire that wraps around the antenna shaft that goes all the way to the top of it)oh well it is about 6 yrs old and i was keeping an eye on it as it had gotten hard and was getting hairline cracks in the rubber , so guess ill mosey on down to the dealership they have them in stock and cost is $ 21, plus tax.. ill get a 25 % discount for being a Chrysler retiree so that will make it cheaper than buying off amazon

good old Michigan rust , glad i moved south 50 yrs ago,,,LOL grew up in Clarkston,Mi near pine knob ski resort

in the one picture with the bolt showing, at the top right side looks like the metal brace has a crack in it
