well if it works okay with the hood up BUT doesn't when the hood is closed then you have a restriction somewhere,, the journeys use the plastic little lines, mine was cracked on the drivers side at the rear of the hood by the hinge, I replaced most of my squirter lines with new rubber lines and the good thing is the rubber lines fit tight and just slide over the plastic lines so you don't need any clamps when splicing the rubber lines onto the plastic lines

from reading your post, it sounds like your at the end of the road with your current mechanics. you probably don't want to hear this BUT sounds like its time to take it your local dodge dealership and show and tell them everything you have done and let them check it out, YES there will be a diagnostic fee but that does go toward the repair, and the repair WILL be higher than a local mechanic but they have more experience with your engine and vehicle...good luck and take care

he never posted back,so we assume that replacing the harness fixed his problem,it would have been nice of people to report back on the their fixes to their problems on here

Just wondering how has your seats held up? I have the leather /fabric inserts in my 2014 crossroad and my 2011 had the all fabric seat material which still looked great when I traded it in on my 2014 and I remember a lot of post worried about the creases and wrinkles in some of the seats, actually I like the look of the ones in my journey and had noticed real leather looked like that as well.mine has held up real good no rips or real foam breaking down in the seats and since I am close to 250-300 over the years I think has done ,of course I have taken good care with leather/protectant on them over the yrs, In my opium dodge used a good quality seat material in our seats,,,,my grandson has a 2018 altima and his has the beige vinyl / leather seats and they look terrible and the fabric has broken and ripped on the edges, I was looking for replacements seats at the local scrap/ junkyards and all the beige ones were the same just junk now the same year altima with black seats were in a lot better shape not sure if it was a different material or if it was real leather.......

welcome to the group, take time to cruise thur the different sections on the forum and you tube will be a HUGE help on doing the things you want to do that you mentioned, especially the struts the rear can be a huge repair or take the short cut way....LOL what ever you decide, for brakes go on amazon and buy akebono pads .......https://akebonobrakes.mypartfinder.com/

i use discount tire for yrs ,i just seen where they bought out tire rack or at least that is what they are saying, i use to order on line when they didnt have a store in our state and that way i didnt have to pay sales tax and also you need to wait for a holiday as they always run great sales during the holidays and then id take them to our local Walmart to have them mounted and if you buy their tire warranties they are great to work with and they replace them with no argument, my grandsons is really rough on his tires with chuck holes and they have replaced 3 different tires ( MICHELIN )for free and all you do is pay for the new tires warranty which is around 20-30 depending on how expensive the tire is

dont go to a dealership for this as it will be EXPENSIVE a small shop or a good friend should be able to do this easy peasy

if its the turn signal or backup bulb ...it is real easy to replace it yourself with just a couple of flat screw driver, also some auto part stores might change it out for you when you buy the bulbs from them about a 10-20 minute job..here is a site that shows on how to to do it,,,or check out you tube as well.........https://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Dodge-Journey-Tail-Light-Bulbs-Replacement-Guide/index.html

correct if they have led, which I have for the brake bulbs ,,the turn and back up bulbs can be replaced with regular bulbs or replace with led bulbs as I did,,.but mine has a sticker on the unit saying it has to be serviced by a dealership.... that said just remove your unit and see if it has that sticker if so you might want to see how much Thur the parts department it would be or call your local junk yard for a used replacement or check on amazon/rock auto parts

that was my best Forrest Gump,imitation LOL

sounds like you could make some $$ from the manufacturer to use your video and help with their sales...........congrats

and yet it still isn't fixed another lost day of work and throwing more parts at it, just saying sometimes the ceap ends up costing more in the long run . not trying to argue hope everything turns out great for you,take care

Sure it would be more expensive but in the long run I believe I would take it to a dodge dealership as they have more knowledge on these vehicles small shops are just guessing most of the time.good luck

I don't even use my radio and also the Bluetooth as well...just old school I guess

78 here today in alabamaaaaaaaa

evidently not good as he never responded back, looked like a spammer

act 1589 front amazon price $72.89...............act 5916 rear $61.49

https://akebonobrakes.mypartfinder.com/............is the OEM supplier for dodge and the only pads I will use I order them off amazon for the best price....also replace your rotors as well

It's great you have a friend that helps you out on the labor cost....

lkq is a big used part /engine supplier

what eng do you have 2,4 or 3.6?

3.6 eng and 156 k on my 2014 as of now I had the plugs changed at the dealership at 100k and I had the service guy show me the old plugs and they still looked great condition

well you didn't use oem and there are a lot of junk aftermarket parts being sold these days, but they shouldn't be your problem , from what you have wrote it would be something you did during the reassembly since you didn't infer a problem before doing this work
