how do you know the battery is good??, journeys like a full charge to start, have a load check done on the battery to assure you have a good battery as just checking with a meter is not enough and yes you can have enough power for lights and radios and such and your journey wont start .....as it just happened to me a few months ago and my neighbor had a jump box for jump starting and even it wouldn't crank mine,called a tow truck and he did a battery load check and yes it was bad ,new battery and NO more problems...good luck and i hope it is just the battery that is bad for you....

If the battery is good, the engine should at least try to start - if the voltage is over 12, it will usually turnover.   If the starter is stuck you could try tapping the solenoid with a hammer - might be enough to free it (worked for me recently).

 

IIRC, there is also a switch on the transmission that tells the ecu that its in Park and ok to start.  

 

Suggestions only I'm afraid as I do not have an auto.

 

Good luck with it.

I took the starter off and checked, it is working.  I reinstalled it back. the engine turn over but no starting. do not smell gasoline at all.  what should I check first? no engine code.

 

How to check spark plug and coil?

It's been a month since this thread was started with NO response back from the OP. Stated NO code,NO turnover, NO sound. From his picture of the gear position, would lead me to think bad battery or cable connections(ground or positive). I've seen this a few times with Dodge family minivans.
