  1. There more fuses in the passenger foot well. Try looking there for a busted fuse. fyi, I had the same situation with a blown oil coolant. Same multiple stops to get home. I was able to change out the cooler with no issues though. Thank God
  2. I had an electric draw that would kill the battery a few years ago too. it was the Bluetooth module. Replaced it and the battery started working right.
  3. the 8.4 uconnect is not a standard radio. The screen you see is literally just a flat screen. The actual radio is buried deep underneath the climate knobs. The actual size is also way bigger than the standard 2 din from the 2010 DJ.
  4. when i swap the tires from front to back, the "front tire" reads fine, and the rear tire does not read in the front position. this indicates the battery are fine.
  5. may or may not be related. I swapped my 4.3" display for an 8.4 way back in 2012, and i lost my rear temp controls. I took it to the dealer then because i figured it had to be a sales code activation and it was, but they could not activate it because the system was showing a missing component which was the cabin temp sensor. However manually, the rear controls work fine. Im even able to "sync" it from the front display. So im thinking if your 8.4 is original, the system is losing connectivity to the rear controls. I'd replace the rear manual controls as they may not be communicating with your main unit.
  6. Hey Guys. Hope you're all well. Happy to report, my DJ is 12 years old now. Very happy with it. Got it new in '12 and its been highly reliable. Dodge was even kind enough to replace the front heads at 98k miles for free. We had that burnt valves on cyl 1 issue. It used to be our secondary car but its now our primary car since im now in a new job field. Praise the Lord for helping us out. Anyways, about 3 months ago, we had a massive coolant blow out from the oil cooler. The coolant was just pouring out from in between the v. about 5 miles from home. go figure huh.. Anyways, after letting it cool down for a bit since it happened on the highway and the temp went up up up, i limped it home by feeding it water, actual water. i stopped at a tire shop that was close by that i like to use, and they sold me a gallon of coolant, but it lasted about a mile, then a gas station nearby, but this time i also picked up a free gallon of water plus another coolant gallon. Long story short, i stopped for water every mile to keep it cool. I even stopped and asked for water at some people's BBQ. No time to be shameful. I replaced the oil cooler, no harm to the car. Got it running a day later even changed the oil while i was at it. Since that incident, My TPIM light is on, and the front right wheel does not read. Just the dots. The front left reads high, like 250, but after about 30 minutes (at first) it reads accurately, and it's been gradually reading accurately faster after start up. Now after about 5 minutes, the ront left reads accurately. The rears read fine. I already rotated the left side wheels, no change. I have not changed the module because i do not want to throw money at it blindly. i feel its got to be something that was messed up from the water / coolant leak up front. i've searched left and right for a schematic of the "antennas" but i cant find anything. Even a schematic of the wiring system. So, do any of you have this schematic available? Im thinking the "antennas" could be covered in dry coolant as the entire engine bay was covered in white dust from the coolant steaming out the oil coolant. FYI, please Do not place this under the current TPIM threat as this does not feel like its a simple TPIM issue.
  7. The 2 zone system is on m the 5 passengers cars. so the real question is, do you need 7 passenger? Because it comes standards with it. My kids all love the rear climate control. For what you get, seems very worth it. (I’ve had mine since new in 2012 though)
  8. Intermittent in the way that it just drops. last year I replaced the thermostat for cabin heating issues, I bled then, and re bled it last night. 89k miles UPDATE - monitored the coolant temp while driving it. Most of the time, if I restarted the engine, coolant temp would read “accurately “ until it starting reading 110-115, then eventually the gauge drops, this was after about 2 hours Highway driving. i ran the heat all the way up, seemed very hot. For a second I starting thinking stuck open thermostat. Going to look at the plug next.
  9. 2012 DJ 3.6 AWD my DJ has codes P2181, and the lighting bolt light on, while temp readout drops intermittently to 0. no overheating, no rough drive. has new thermostat, new coolant temp sensor, New throttle control car runs with fan on and drops 1 gear lower while lighting bolt is on,
  10. From what I've read in it, the stow n go isn't affected by the AWD, it's the plug in hybrid model, thst eliminates 2nd row sto n go.
  11. This does look great. But I'd like to see more of the mid grade model. I don't think I'd be shopping for a platinum limited model. Maybe ill go as high as a touring plus. Going for the luxury treatment can get super expensive. I know the odyssey elite goes for 45k. No way I'd pay that much for a minivan. The old Pacifica is exactly what this new T&C trying to be. A cross over the minivan/ SUV, with more minivan emphasis. I liked it. It had several issues. The 3.5, the 4 speed, the price, and crazy devaluation. When they introduced the LX model, it took all pretension of being luxurious, away. And the fact that it was 2 years late.
  12. Thanks a lot for high jacking MY thread. 🤔 .. 😒.. Jk of course. Don't wanna start WWDJ
  13. Maybe it's not the camera, maybe your lift gate is off to one side. Idk, I do think this is minor.
