  1. Blend doors may not be operating properly. A coolant flush won’t change the amount of air coming out of the vents. It will help with the temperature though.
  2. Very complicated a lot of write ups on the forum on this subject. Try under upgrading radio... just saw the topic under your posted one installing 8.4 actually doing it...
  3. If you don’t have the buttons on the front of your wheel you don’t have the enhanced dash display on your car. It’s optional The manual has every option described. You need to apply it to what your vehicle is equipped with.
  4. Could be one of the following : water pump (internal), fan not turning on, head gasket, bad radiator ..... how hot does it get? My 09 runs right in the middle of the gauge....
  5. The buttons on the back of the wheel are radio controls Are you sure the cd and manual are for a Dodge Journey?
  6. I have to say you’ve done a great job on troubleshooting! I would think if you have voltage the relay is operational. My 09 is at the body shop so I can’t say what the resistance is, but should have it back by Saturday. Try checking the ground for good contact and the connectors at the window . I know you are getting voltage but maybe something is dirty? All things being equal if you have voltage it should be heating up. Did you check each line or just the sides? Try each line a foot apart at the middle of the window. Maybe there is a scratch that you can’t see in the grid. Thats all I can think of, I’m stumped!
  7. A pioneer radio will not allow you to control anything but the radio. You lose your climate control abilities. You need to replace the factory radio with another (same type) factory radio
  8. That would dry out, wouldn’t it? What about a small hit of expanding foam? Maybe the stuff used around windows and doors. Would encase the wires and could be trimmed if necessary. Might be more trouble then it’s worth.....
  9. I think if you repair what's there correctly (solder, shrink tubing, no quick connects) you’ll end up with something better then the factory. Protect the wires inside the rubber boot and your all set. Replacing with the exact same wire loom (hasn’t been updated as far as I know) will result in the same thing occurring. I’d fix what’s there, just use the same size wiring.
  10. Hopefully you shower daily. Sorry, couldn’t resist! I’ve been washing my black 09 about every 10 days or so, maybe weekly in the winter. I also get the spray wax with the wash and an annual hand wax.
  11. The headliner has to come done in order to access the bolts. How loose is loose? Taking the headliner down is a big pia. Mine is rock sold so yours may be loose and you could get water inside so you might have to....
  12. What kind of dealers do you have up there?!!??!! Why would you pay for a repair under warranty? Do they hold the car hostage?
  13. On my 09 you need a 10mm (pretty sure it was) socket to remove the nut. The plastic/rubber barrier is part of the cable and does not come off.
  14. If it were me and the radio is shot, I would go aftermarket. Try Crutchfield. You put your car info in, what you are looking for and results come up. Just did this for my sons Chrysler. I wanted him to have hands free phone,etc. looked there and did a live chat with a representative. She found a radio that I missed, showed me a install kit, and never pushed. Got everything I needed to install for $180! And that was an Alpine unit! You might be able to get Bluetooth and Nav (if that’s something you’d want) for way less then factory... Good luck! Let us know what you do....
  15. Well, get the code read and let us know what it is..can’t fix something over the Internet and can’t guide you if we have no clue what’s going on. Help us help u....
  16. I think the TV option is a pay service, like satellite radio. As far as the dvd, it’s not something that is “set up” by the dealer. If your dvd keeps being ejected there is something wrong with the DVD player.
  17. What good is it for us to give ideas when you can’t fix it? Most likely is the starter or battery but you need to get it tested. If they tell you it’s bad, then what? cars are an expense. You have to repair them. Coming here and asking for help when you have no intention of fixing it is a waste of everyone’s time.
