Brilliant post to a 10 year old thread, thanks Helen!

Sorry for the late reply, i cleared the codes with my obd scan tool. Been fine since.

Yes this is my second battery change. This time the battery was around 8V or so. Tried to jump it but no go and then the climate fan wouldn't shut off either. Had to pull the power to stop it so I think things just got a little scrambled from the low voltage.Anyway all good since.

I also have a 2013 that I just replaced the battery about 2 weeks ago. After the battery was changed it started fine but I had codes coming up regarding the accelerator pedal position and 1 other .Car ran but absolutely not much power, running a little rough and couldn't get up a big hill.Took it home put the scanner on and cleared the codes.Problem solved.I think that even just changing the battery put some glitches into the computer and it needed to reset them to run properly again. Do you have any warnings on the dash?

That's been mentioned before.There is definitely corrosion that gets on those grounds, a removal and cleanup does wonders.

The one on the right side of the cabin filter is the recirculate actautor.That's the one that causes fogging when it gets stuck in recirculate mode.

Did you ever get this done?

You mean this ? It's beside the headlight switch,

Yep ground connections under the hood a great place to start.

Couple of weeks ago we had that, dash lights flicker Journey wouldn't start.Charged the battery fixed it and I tookk all the grounds off the strut tower and cleaned them up.No problems since so yes this is a great suggestion to try.

Again, behind the glovebox remove the cabin filter.That actuator is the one that does the fresh air or recirculate function.The fact that cracking the windows open helps means that it is stuck in recirculate mode.You can remove the power from that actuator and with your hand flip the vent to the fresh air position.That will solve that problem.Reinstall the cabin filter .I never use recirculate anyway but I did replace the actuator.Sometimes that is not even necessary as the old actuators will start to work again.

That post was from 2015 don't expect a reply from them.

Agree, many thanks for the uploads!

So what did the dealer say when they did what they said was needed to fix the problem and it didn't?

The once and only time my 2013 did this it was a bad alternator.
