Byron Devine Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I went to local dealer to get what ever sales code added and they said that if it didn't come from factory that they couldn't add it. The next closest dealer is 30 miles away. Is there some one that I can call ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davea180 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 OK, doing some quick math here and I see it would be cheaper to do the wiring yourself. Unknown amount of $$ to the dealer to activate the four wire harness. $65-75 for the add-on four wire factory harness. $$ for your time and inconvienece. I see too much $$ and some PITA. Go to eTrailer.com and get the 2014 Journey T-One harness (#118536) for $55.95, and spend about 2 hours installing it on some sunny Saturday afternoon.

MJ FROM MB Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The trailer prep group also has the engine oil cooler that is not standard on a Journey. That is very important because the Journey will run in fourth or fifth gear when towing a load on the highway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very important because the Journey will run in fourth or fifth gear when towing a load on the highway The OP cannot have a trailer prep group added at this point. I read from his post that he is interested now in trailer wiring. BTW, and I have no explanation for this, my SXT DOES NOT have the trailer prep and it does have an engine oil cooler as is listed on the window sticker. I don't recall seeing it as a part of any "group." I do believe that if you are speaking of a TRANSMISSION oil cooler, the 6 speed trans may come with that standard and its easy to check and see it behind the grill.

Byron Devine Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sxt blacktop edition v6 with oil cooler and tranny cooler factory installed have the plug up behind bumper. Now needing to get the sales code right so lights work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 So you are just looking to have the lights be programmed as "on" at the dealer? Sounds like your dealer is incompetent if they can't complete that simple task. I'm not sure what to tell you other than contact another dealer...

Byron Devine Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I will just find another dealer to do that. I just ordered my new trailer today. 6x12 single axel all black like my journey. Time to get moving on getting things done so I can pull it. Chris1276 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Devine Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 The hitch is on wiring harness is attached and working. Will be ready to hit the road with my box trailer. I hope I have good luck as every one else has with towing. First pull is going to be from Douglas Georgia to indiana from diamond cargo trailer factory.
