bc1987 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've been having issues starting my 2010 Journey (2WD 6 cyl, 3.5 L, Automatic 6-spd) and I'm convinced it may be a bad starter. I replaced the battery in January and just replaced the alternator a few days ago after my car would not start and a horrible smell permeated through the vents when attempting to start multiple times. New alternator is in and now when I turn the key to attempt to start the engine, I get nothing, no sounds whatsoever. Lights are on and do not dim when attempting to start. Can anyone advise where exactly the starter is located? I have not been able to find the location of the starter and have not found any indication of where it may be online. Any help would be much appreciated. Pictures of starter location would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srk23 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Try putting the vehicle in neutral and then start it. If it starts it may be the neutral safety switch which is inside the transmission causing the problem. jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
