JourneyTime

Good afternoon! So, i recently had this same problem. Not sure if any other posts have been created for this wonderful Dodgey life, but here is the end result. I own/drive a 2018 Dodge Journey v6. I bought a replacement battery in December 2021. Car went dark February 2022, no electrical at all. I hooked up my jump box and jumper cables (not at the same time) and was able to get electrical components to turn on, but the car would not star. Once the jump box timer ran out, back to no electrical at all. Just got it back from the dealership today and was told a few things. First the battery I bought from autozone, although the correct CCA and voltage, was the wrong battery group. The 26-DL group is too small for the Journey. Due to using a battery with a group size that is too small, it caused a short in the Power Intelligent Module and Body Controller Module. Costly mistake and hopefully Autozone or O'Reilly's or whoever else updates their system, but it being all these years later, doesn't seem likely. Okay, that is all. I probably won't post again...we shall see. Just wanted to bring closure to the long forgotten post.
