What ones quit high or low beams/ all four? Does the car have automatic headlights? Any recent work on the front end or swapped in LED bulbs? I've got 3 DJ's and only had a singular low beam bulb quit and it was the bulb.

The original poster of this 7 year old thread shows pic of his Journey being a flex fuel vehicle. That means YES he can run the higher ETHANOL BLEND E85 or regular gas. It is however stated in the owners book to run primarily one or the other and not mix fuel fill ups with more than 1/4 tank of either remaining "in the tank" fuel. YES it's been well documented that the 89 octane does seem to work better in the 3.5 motors when using regular gas and not E85. AND WELCOME to the forum!

I have a 2011 that the drivers door passive{touch the handle} did not work and had an EVIC message to service keyless entry system. It was broken wires in the door handle. A common problem as the wires were too short for constant flexing for this year. I took the handle off and apart and repaired/lengthened the wires and all has been fine for more than 4 years. You state a fender bender, was that door damaged by the accident? lots of wires run thru the door and jamb in the rubber boot between door and body, quite possible a wire for passive entry was damaged/cut. NO WAY to tell you exactly what is your fault sight unseen. Keep on the folks that did the repair and your Ins. Co. to get to the bottom of the problem and get it fixed, GOOD LUCK and PLEASE report back what transpires.

Yes @John/Horace, but as the OP said STARTING to leak. And as I posted, it would be nice if we knew just where. Mine was leaking TRANS. oil, not the PTO gear lube. Such are the joys of responding to vague postings.

My son in law had a Fusion and wanted no part in changing the battery on it. I went up in the early Spring and changed it for him. That one was not bad at all to do in my experiences of countless battery changes during my "career" as an auto tech.2 months later, his parents gifted him a newer Focus sedan and used his Fusion as trade in for their new vehicle purchase. My daughter laughs as her "in laws" are FORD people, and knows I prefer my MOPARS. AND also that I NEVER buy "brand new" cars while in-laws buy new and sometimes as often as yearly!

Nice job! Other than removing running boards {mine don't have them}, I did the same work late last summer in my DRIVEWAY on low jack stands on 2 of our 3 Journeys! One of them also got Valve cover gaskets and seals replaced too, and the other also got rear struts changed! Everything would have been much easier if I had a HOIST to make things easier!......LOL

Would be nice to know just where on the PTU it's starting to leak. My '14 developed a leak where it mounts to the transmission. BUT this was due to the O ring seal being damaged when the trans was removed for torque converter replacement. IF your car's leak is from the seal for the passenger side axle shaft, that is much more easily replaced to fix the leak, and much less costly. ALSO this sounds like a time to seek a second opinion from a trusted shop.

OK, so now I'm ENVIOUS! No wonder WHY you preferred to bring it to your home to do the work Indoors AND a hoist!!!!!! Makes life {work} SO MUCH EASIER!

OK, so you did do as member Rean H posted by removing the FOB battery from the main use key fob and the car still has the problem? Well, now it gets a bit complicated to track down the cause. Yes there could be a problem stemming from the TIPM/fuse panel, but ground wire connections {not just the car battery negative cables} may also be involved. MY suggestion is to have a complete system scan done that checks EVERYTHING of the can bus electronic systems and find out if the computers in the car have recorded any system faults. These codes are very specific to pinpointing source of trouble and will save a lot of frustration and money of not shooting the parts cannon at the car.Also note the can bus electronics will NOT turn on the check engine light if they have recorded trouble codes. The CEL only comes on for engine/trans. faults. These cars are NOT built and "wired" like cars of the 60-70's era!

Have YOU actually had YOUR vehicle scanned? YES OR NO I have an automotive background and assist my Independent repair shop owner on tough diagnostics {I'm not always right, but we manage to find the problem somehow together}. Also knowing how the systems work, I've only experienced this particular lights happening as they are designed to do when the car senses lost traction or stability in nasty snowy weather. YES there COULD be a problem stemming from a bad TIPM/FUSE PANEL....but there are many possible causes to this situation, there is NO SINGULAR "here's your fix answer unless you want to start shooting the parts cannon. PROPER vehicle diagnostics go a long way and a full scan will shorten the "journey" to a fix. Unfortunately on any owner based forum, many problems are posted, but a lot do not come back and say definitely what the fix was or involved.

YES, the TIPM/FUSE PANEL unit MAY be the problem, but I'm still trying to figure out if it is just the main key fob he uses or both. IF just the one, it would be a bad fob circuit board.

LOL My daughter has one of those AND it needed a battery last fall. My son in law watched similar videos and "tackled" the job himself, He did a good job of it with only the "fail" of not properly aligning the wiper arms when finishing up. The wife and I visited the next day and I took care of that little glitch for them! HE said he would PAY PEP BOYS {franchise auto center} to change it next time, should they still have the car!

EARLY morning typing miscues'''' Should have been typed to read try using your spare key fob and see if all works correctly or not. IF it works correctly, then the circuit board in your primary use key fob is bad and that key fob will need to be replaced.

Doing it again with WHICH key fob? The main or the spare? Your main key fob may have a bad circuit board and that key fob MAY need to be replaced. Try keeping it away from the car and see if the same happens with the same or not. After all the fob portions are 15 years old now. You have a first gen Journey, there MAY be a fuse for door locks, but with the wiring layout of computerized cars the alarm and such can not be disabled, so your wish to eliminate that is just that A WISH.

I've stated twice what needs to be done about scanning for codes. You do NOT need to go to a dealer for this as the cost is prohibitive. I have a scanner that will do such and have available to ME even higher level scan tools thru a friend who runs an Independent repair shop. I normally do not recommend using DEALERS or FRANCHISE repair centers as they charge way too much.Find yourself a GOOD Independent shop from family, friends or coworkers. to have them scan for codes to determine what is going on. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.

YES, TC will cut throttle response and why TB light FLASHES and is not steady. As I posted a higher level scanner is needed to see codes resulting from TC coming on. BASIC scanners only do OBDII engine/ trans codes not supplemental system codes {ABS/traction/Stability/SRS}.

4 cylinder motor???? what level scanner do you use? You may need to go above basic OBDII reader and use one that can read CAN/BUS for body control/abs/srs codes. You may have something going on with wheel speed sensors or such that is triggering trac. control first, that will put engine into limp mode and turn on the throttle body warning light.

You have been posting to an existing topic that is already in the "proper" forum section. Go back to the main section that this topic thread is on and read the ones that relate to your concern. You do NOT need to be 2015 year specific for this concern, the system is pretty much the same from 2016 and BACK.

That CEL being on while running in your video MEANS SOMETHING, get the car scanned for trouble codes and post them for some meaningful help from members here. Also post engine size {2.4 or 3.6} and any maint. work recently done.

So this Journey has over 100k miles on it already? Must drive it quite a bit, yes recheck/replace the plugs, but I still have a HUNCH that the crankshaft position sensor may be going out. As I stated before quite common to your symptoms. Has the CEL come on when driving it? Probably would not be a bad idea to have the computer scanned for trouble codes.

I have 3 OLDER Journey's, all with the 3.6 so not sure just what "version" of the 2.4 is in such a newer 2019 you have. BUT the crankshaft position sensor has been a known weak link in starting/stalling problems with the older 2.4 motors. It will not always throw a code for this problem, many report this part failing and never throwing a code for it. More background info such as miles and normal maint. that has been done {sparkplugs / type of driving patterns} would be helpful for more suggestions. Good luck and let us know how things go that you do to take care of this problem.

OK, I understand better what you're speaking of. Unfortunately none of the 3 Journey's I have came with NAV., I have wanted to upgrade our '13 rt to that with the proper radio module but cost of even a used unit is out of range for our budget. There are a number of postings all the same about NAV. map problems AND fixes to be found on the proper forum section, try looking for them. Since I don't have that option of NAV., I have no knowledge of getting/keeping that feature working to pass along to you. Also like stated before about the child booster seat, try google and youtube on the subject.

"If equipped" ofen means it was special ordered install on build. I don't think any trim level of the Journey had them as a standard feature. But yes, what member 2late4you suggested the best route to go with your desire for one.

Welcome to the forum and your purchase of a Journey. Sadly, I don't think the Journey was offered with such an option as the integrated child booster seat. I had an '04 Grand Caravan that had the feature....was wonderful with my young at the time daughter.

Not sure of what you are saying IS in your Journey. I surmise you have the 8.4" screen "infotainment" display. IF when powered on and there is NO NAV. ICON PRESENT. then you do NOT have the radio module that has the Nav. capability. It is NOT a function of the screen and likewise for the audio. there is a radio module buried in the center of the dash. So in "layman's" terms, if you want nav., you need a different radio module. And YES this subject has been discussed many times on the forum.
