So sorry, I meant to say the mechanic pulled the fuse, but what fixed the problem was disconnecting the module.

I also have a 2013 Dodge Journey RT. Everything you described was EXACTLY what mine was doing. I had a TERRIBLE parasitic draw and I had taken it to multiple mechanics and they couldn't find the source. All they would do was replace my battery, and it would be fine for a couple weeks, then die again. As my absolute last resort, I took it to a dealership and they found the source: the bluetooth module. It had been disconnected by another mechanic before, but it was still pulling power from the battery and other electronics in my car. They pulled out the entire bluetooth module (the mechanic before only disabled/disconnected it), and everything went back to normal. It was doing the same funky things you described, and it automatically went completely back to normal. Ironically enough, the bluetooth never worked at all for me since I first got the car, so it didn't really bother me taking it out anyway! To replace the bluetooth module, the dealership I went to priced it at about $1300 give or take, so I said just leave it out, since I never used it anyway. Hope this helps you with your troubles!

My 2013 Dodge Journey previously had some issues with the bluetooth that resulted in it getting removed (so now it has no bluetooth capabilities). I usually use my aux port to play music which is fine, I just like to be able to control my music with the screen and steering wheel buttons and also having the song displayed on the screen; I don't have that luxury with the aux. I tried using the usb port (I think it's labeled usb or iPod- when you have something plugged in- on the media selection menu), but when I went to play music from my phone (iPhone 13) it started freaking out and wouldn't stick with a song. It would select a random song in my library and play it for MAYBE 3 seconds before skipping to another song. This was my normal "music" app, so I tried Spotify, which is what I like to use anyway, and it wouldn't even try to play a song, it would just open up my music app and freak out again. Is there anyway I can get it to work on the USB with Spotify, or anyway I can have the aux cord option have the song displayed on the screen and controls too, or do I just have to suck it up and continue doing what I'm doing? HELP!!!
