richdon Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hi guys. New to this forum. I purchases a 2011 Journey that has been hit on the driver side door. The previous owner replaced the door but I don't know what year Journey the door came from. The driver door handle does not have the button to lock and unlock the car like the passenger door has. Would it be a simple matter of buying a door handle that has the button from eBay and swapping it out or is this more involved than that?

John/Horace Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the forum. Wiring harness would need to be in substitute door for the power lock handle. I would remove inner door panel and try to see if lock plug is there from inner door wire harness, before buying a new handle.

richdon Posted August 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Will do. From what I read on the Ram forum, if the harness is not in the door, would it not be as simple as 2 wires and a connector going to the BCM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 The drivers door has a control module mounted behind inside cover, with a large ten-ish pin jack, IIRCC. Its tied into mirrors, BCM etc. . Module that not pricy, but wiring is likely more complex than 2 wires. Check a upull yard for a damaged door harness/module and compare it to your existing door.
