I have purchased a Dodge Journey 2009 SXT in the uk, however it has only one key fob. I have tried to buy a spear, but the dealer said he couldn't code it because it is the wrong p/n number! (£41 wasted).

I am desperately trying to source a spear key without paying the £234 that the dealer is asking for. The p/n of the working key is p/n 05026422AC.

Any ideas where I can get one from?

My wife managed to smash up her key fob (2009 Dodge Journey 2.4SE) and now the remote locking/unlocking won't work. The key fob still starts the car OK though - the only problem is that she has to unlock the car by inserting the key into the passenger door lock, then open the passenger door which sets off the alarm, then she has to climb in, reach across and insert the key fob into the ignition to turn off the alarm. Not so good at 5:30am when she's heading to work. My own key fob works fine, so we've 2 "working" keys, albeit one of them won't remotely unlock/lock the car.

I've tried changing the battery but that didn't help. Also tried opening it up and cleaning all the contacts, but that didn't help either. Not sure if there's much else I can try. I put the meter on the contacts inside the key fob, for the lock button contact (and also unlock), and it measures around 2 volts, so there's power getting to the button circuitry OK. Any ideas ?

We're in the UK (Northern Ireland) and the local Dodge dealer has quoted me £174 (around $265) plus another £35 ($55) to program - though the manual says I can do it myself with 2 working fobs. I'm just wondering if "working" means just in the ignition (which would be OK), or working as in the remote locking also needs to work ? Guessing probably just the ignition.

The P/N is 05026422AC - like the poster from 18 months ago. Anybody know where I might be able to get a replacement key fob for a reasonable price (preferably in the UK), or even just the circuit board, as I can reuse the plastic parts ?

There's no way I'm paying £174 - the wife can just let the alarm ring for a few seconds !

I bought a replacement key gob for my old 08 caravan which had the same key as the 09 DJ.

The instructions that came with, were for 2 keys that could crank the engine.

Give it a shot, worse case, you sell the key back on eBay.
