Journeyman425 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) http://5EFC7023-9D4D-4645-BFAD-F1C849B3035E_1_201_a.heicHello everyone! Still alive and kicking! Here's my 2013 Journey, now 10 years old with 166.000 miles. Had our first round of trouble where a valve cover gasket leaked, oil ran into the starter motor and shorted it out. Replaced the gasket, starter, battery, replaced the plugs with the intake out and changed the oil and filter. Three days later something sliced the passenger side rear tire on the Cross Bronx Expressway (shocker) but I was able to get the temporary spare on to get us home. New tire this weekend, and she runs and rides perfectly once again. This car has held up exceptionally well and still looks really good doing it. (I thought the photo would be attached but it's just a link to it, sorry) 5EFC7023-9D4D-4645-BFAD-F1C849B3035E_1_201_a.heic Edited January 9, 2023 by Journeyman425 Armando G, jkeaton and 2late4u 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina G Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 I know this is probably not the right place to ask, but I bought a 2018 Journey. The dealer had it listed online as including tow pkg, which it did not according to the original window sticker. It had an after-market hitch. I ordered the OEM trailer wiring harness and installed it today. And from what I've read in some of your older posts/replies, it may need a code entered by you and a restoration done by the dealer. Is that still true for 2018 models and can you do it for me. I'm supposed to be leaving on a trip in 3 days with a trailer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 HI Tina - yes, a Sales Code has to be added to the vehicle's configuration, and then the vehicle reconfigured so that the new code is recognized. This enables the trailer wiring and allows it to work. I can add the sales code for you; however your Journey will still have to go to a dealer in order to be reconfigured. So with that being said, you may as well just have them add the sales code and then reconfigure it all at once. If you prefer that I add it for you and then you take it in for the reconfig, then please provide me with the last eight characters of your VIN and the approximate mileage, and I can add the code for you.

If you would that would be great (in case I get any flack at the dealership) JT389971 and approx 64k miles. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Am I too late? I only saw your message today, logged in to DealerConnect and checked your options and the codes are already there. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina G Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Yeah, but no worries. I took it to the dealer to reconfigure. I think they weren't going to charge me at first, but they ran it the first time & it didn't take, then a 2nd time it says it was all updated. So then they ran it a 3rd time. I don't know if they entered the code themselves the 1st time or not since I told them I had someone enter it. You'd think they would have. But once they spent that much time messing with it, it ended up costing me $100. So that plus the OEM harness it cost me $240 to get my trailer wiring!

I got quoted $270 when I was adding my hitch, so went with an aftermarket. At least it's done. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
