Tried loading pictures from USB drive to hard drive in car....could see thumbnails on USB drive, but once loaded to car hard drive, it becomes a black pic...how do I fix this?

Could be the size of your jpg file in pixels. I have a 2010 RT and found that any pic over 625 pixels wide would cause the image to be black. It took me a few tries to get it right. Pics less than 600 pixels wide will cause you to have black borders on the sides of the pic, but that's just my experience not sure if it's true for other years and models. Good luck!

My electric guy brought in a 3rd party programmer, so I don't know the details, but it works and that's all I care. He charged $200 to program.

Fixed now with additional programming! 

One year warranty!

Drivers side door did not activate dome lights, door locks, back up cam was acting up with sometimes worked, sometimes scrambled image. 

The rebuilt TIPM works great, just required a little programming!

Are you talking about center caps? Or something else? Do you have a picture? Center caps are sold separately...

I think they call them wheel skins? The rims underneath are fine, but the chrome skins have the road rash. Seems it's all one piece.

  by go away, do you mean it starts working or go black????

starts working normal again.

starts working normal

Don't mean to high jack this thread, but I get this intermittently then it goes away. 2010 Journey R/T. 

Thank you everyone. I replaced the tipm with remanufactured one. Solved all my issues, just now have all error lghts on dash. Any ideas? All car functions work now except door lock buttons, but keyfob works on all locks.

Does anyone have any experience with rebuilt Dodge TIPM's? Are they reliable? I'm not trying to promote any of these companies, just curious of any experience. Thank you!

Our wheels are chrome, but seem to have plastic covers with road rash. Are they replaceable or do we need to replace the rims and all?

There is a switch that turns the lights on and off when you open the door. If you took the car to an electrical expert they should have checked that.  The wire loom goes from the door to the body of the car. It’s inside the rubber grommet between the door and body.  Open the door, look for the black rubber thing by the hinge.

 

Open an account with Mopar.com.  It’s free. You put your vin number in and it will tell you if there are any outstanding recalls needed for your car.  Good info from them.....

I signed up with Mopar.com. Very useful site. There were 3 recalls that were already completed. I did remove the rubber conduit on the door and there was the wiring and the loom. All looked good and solid! I'm sure the auto electric checked the switch, that's why he was baffled. Thanks for the info!

Not the door switch?  Wire loom recall done? 

Do you have any info on the wire loom recall. Is the wire loom in the door itself?

What door switch are you referring to?? I am not too educated on these things. 

Do you mean your TIPM? If so, try these guys: https://tipmrebuilders.com/

After buying our 2010 Journey R/T about 3 months ago, we've had our share of electrical issues all seem to be solved except one. When opening and closing drivers side door, dome lights do not turn on or off. All door button functions work fine. Had auto electric guy look at it and he's stumped. Any ideas out there?

I find it strange that its a Canadian car when there are so many winter free and salt free states to get a vehicle from.....

Portland Oregon is pretty close to Canada I guess...

third party warranties usually are not the best, kind of like HMO always trying to deny your coverage

We're finding that out!

I’d dump it now while everything’s working.  Get something else with a factory extended warranty.  Once you have electrical issues, you’ll always have electrical issues..., but that’s just my opinion.

You're probably right, but we really like the car! 

Warranty company declined to pay for the TiPM again. Good thing I spent $3k on the warranty! Ya right! They are blaming the dealer for these "new" problems. Dealer said no more from them. They said they already put over a grand in time and trying different parts. At least this electric guy fixed everything except the drivers side door doesn't turn the dome lights on or off. I guess we can live with that. If we click the unlock button all the dome lights go on anyway. All other doors work correctly and the instrument panel lights work properly now. He re-programmed the body module.

After a lot of diagnostics, looks like we're back to the TiPM! $1000 plus labor! We did purchase an expensive warranty. Insurance adjuster along with dealer seeing where we go next!

The starting thing happened to me once too. I tried with both key fobs, no go. Came back a couple hours later and double clicked the unlock button and it started right up! I don't get it! The electric guy got the instrument panel lights solved, but still working on the door issues.

Only 83,000 miles...

P.S. We did get the Carfax. No accidents were showed there.
