journeyfamily Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 im hoping someone could help me out, im have problems with my radio shutting off, screen going blank and then the heat blows at full heat at full speed, has anyone else has this problem, if so what was it, my warranty has expired for some time now, and i would like to try and understand what is going on so i can try and fix it, rather than paying the dealer a big figure. i have a 2011 journey with the small screen any help would be great thanks paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 It could be as simple as disconnecting the battery at the Negative jumper point for 10 - 20 minutes to reboot the CanBus. Another point to check and clean the terminals at the TIPM (fuse box under the hood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtsr Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 No radio retains presets and nothing else but fault seems to disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramfrank Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 With the information at hand if I had to guess I'd suspect a bad/corroded ground connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyfamily Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 where behind the radio somewhere? i did get a bit pissed with it today and hit the dash by the radio and it came back on so im thinking a loose connection somewhere now.
