Journeyman425 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 so journeyman425 - does this apply to my Vin# 3C4PDD8G2DT631670 ? sure hope so - thanx Lloyd - Lloyd - the correct sales code is already attached to your options. If your DRL are not working, your dealer should perform a vehicle restoration and then try them. I assume they have been enabled on the radio screen.

dhh3 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I, dhh3, a humble member, am proud to announce that I now have Factory DRLs on my 2014 Dodge Journey. Now, for the weird part. Ever since last June, I wanted DRLs but was told by both The Forum and my Dealer that Chrysler removed the LMK code on the Options side of the build code in 2014. Therefore, I could not have them. Then, mysteriously, the LMK code was added back in, according to the Forum; so anyone with a 2014 can now have them added. I called my Dealer and they agreed. Fine. Now for the really weird stuff! On my W/O, it states: The SLS code is present and DRLs are turned on in the radio, but Customer states they do not work. Vehicle did not come from Factory with DRLs. Checked and found Chrysler added Sales Code SLS. Vehicle needs to be reconfigured. Reconfigured vehicle and DRLs working at this time. So, is it LMK or SLS? In either case, it doesn't bother me because mine finally work. But, it may affect someone else. rolly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman425 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Now, for the weird part. Ever since last June, I wanted DRLs but was told by both The Forum and my Dealer that Chrysler removed the LMK code on the Options side of the build code in 2014. Then, mysteriously, the LMK code was added back in On my W/O, it states: The SLS code is present and DRLs are turned on in the radio, but Customer states they do not work. Vehicle did not come from Factory with DRLs. Checked and found Chrysler added Sales Code SLS. Vehicle needs to be reconfigured. Reconfigured vehicle and DRLs working at this time. So, is it LMK or SLS? It is true that for model year 2014, Sales Code LMK which enables DRL was removed from our database of codes that we can add at the dealer level. No one at Chrysler offered any explanation and it *appeared* that they were making DRL available as a factory only extra-cost option. Then last week, a member asked me if they could be enabled on his 2015 Journey so I tried it. Sure enough, the code was there for me to add. I tried a friend's 2014 VIN and it was there too, where it hadn't been months prior. I tried a couple more VINs, including yours, and they all allowed the code. Chrysler has put it back just as quietly as they removed it. Very strange. I have no explanation. On your repair order, "SLS" is an abbreviation for "Sales" as in "Sales Code". SLS itself is not a code. Your Service Advisor mildly misinterpreted the tech's notes when he/she invoiced your Repair Order, that's all. LMK is the Sales Code which enables DRL. I'm glad they work! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Mystery solved. Thank you. Another question. The DRLs stay on when I turn on the parking lights, but will go off when I turn on the headlights. Is the way they are designed to work? Not a problem; just curious.

dhh3 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 And when you turn on the signal light, it goes off on the side that is blinking - like the TOO bright LEDs on some of the newer cars do! I was behind a White Ram Pickup and could see my reflection in the tailgate. The guy behind me probably thought I was an idiot who couldn't make up my mind: left turn or right. I was practicing with my reflection and was in a left turn only lane. Lobitz68 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red G8R Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Luckily I returned my aftermarket Phillips LED DRL. I've been monitoring this thread/forum for some time and I can't wait to contact my dealer to have them activate my DRL. My alternate plan was to cover the auto headlights sensor on the dash which then keeps the full lighting system on all the time. onecrazyfoo4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potlicquor Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone have an estimate and/or cost for the dealer to activate (however it's done: flash the computer or do a vehicle restoration, etc.) for the DRL code to work, please let me know thanks!

2late4u Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 i had the dealer that i purchased the journey from do the flash there was no charge and it was about 9 months after i bought it... Potlicquor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 The price is set by the individual dealer. Some will charge a half-hour labor minimum, others an hour, the selling dealer may do it at no charge as 2late4u has stated. A Vehicle Restoration takes all of 10-15 minutes to perform when the internet connection and the peripheral equipment is all working properly.

pjmac Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I have a 2013 Journey. My dealer wanted $120 to activate the running lights. When I told him I would not pay that much, he came back and said they would do it for $55. Go figure. Anyway, I now have running lights.

dhh3 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 No charge for me as it comes under Warranty. Potlicquor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmac Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah! I argued that too but I'm still out $55. Potlicquor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah! I argued that too but I'm still out $55. well i would have gone to the head guy and told him nicely that if they wanted my repeat sales and recommendations to my friends that they should do it for free and or refund the money to me or maybe he might offer you a free 2 yr oil change service on top of your first 4 free oil services that you will get instead of a refund. good luck and remember their are lots of dodge dealers that you can use...

Potlicquor Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks for the responses, will try and negotiate price with dealer, if need be... I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for services rendered. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red G8R Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I had mine activated for free because I told them I've been trying since delivery. I also went through the dealer's GM.

another_DJ Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm new to this forum. I just bought a Dodge Journey Crossroad 2015 then I realized that the switch light doesn't have the AUTO option. On the Uconnect screen I have selected the DRL option but they didn't work. Then I started searching ... I seeing that this is a common problem and it's a shame to have this crossover SUV in 2015 without auto lights. I read that Journeyman425 have been helping a lot of people with the same problem. If you can check mine, here is my VIN # FT659283 and 500 miles. Thanks in advance ... dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piflyby Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Can anyone please help me. I bought a new 2015 Dodge Journey SXT and had it shipped here in England from the US (so it has US Specs) although I have the option to turn on the DRL in the uconnect screen it still doesn't do anything. I was told they added the option in my VIN but when they tried reflashing it still didn't work (their reason is maybe because I don't have the actual hardware/wire for it). Can anyone please assist me in finding out whether they did add the option in the first place, and if they didn't how can they add it, and if they ask what do they need to add what do I tell them? My VIN is 3C4PDCBG2FT733810, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyh Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 No one is fully informed with the Mopar vehicles. Not the repair people or the sales people. There was an access built in the trunk for the fuel tank in the Sebring. If the fuel pump went bad it could be replaced without dropping the tank. How did I find out? Dropped the tank and there it was. The dealer service department I have to deal with is sad. priell3 and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
