2016 DJ 3.6 engine 62te automatic transmission Starting with a\c freon. On the underside of the hood, find this label it has the freon type your system uses. I have a 2016. It uses the. R1234yf freon. If you didn't use this type of freon. I would start there. I don't know the differences. But there is some.

In the interior fuse panel is a 25 amp circuit breaker. It feeds all the power windows. There is another 25 amp circuit breaker near it. For power seats. You could switch them and see what happens. It's up underneath the glove box. Shot in the dark, are you aware of the window lockout switch on the drivers switch panel? Try engaging it both ways to see if it affects anything.

This is the working link. Go here read very carefully. Top to bottom. https://verticalvisions.com/en/mini-blade-fuse-slots/22-tipm-bypass-cable-simple.html

Great! I have been researching the 09-10 DJ tipm problems. One thing is a fuel pump relay that sticks on. Draining the battery. There is specific harness you can get. That by passes the relay. Eliminating the relay entirely. Go to this page, read it very carefully top to bottom. Everything is explained in depth. https://verticalvisions.com/en/mini-blade-fuse-slots/22-tipm-bypass-cable-simple.html Dean

The two things you can personally check that cause battery drain are: Bluetooth - Dodge calls it HFM hands free module. Pull the fuse. Eliminated. Glove box light staying on. I disconnected the harness to it. Taped off securely. Dean

I agree Larry. The Journey needs better ground cables from the chassis to engine block. First check and clean your stock battery ground system. Tighten all connections. These cable up grades will work. Battery, I went 2 gauge cable from battery chassis stud to engine block. Passenger chassis ground stud to engine block. 6 gauge cable. I would start here doing this.

Hi, Need to know Model year - Engine -

Very good point. Keep it simple. I would remove the battery from the other FOB. Take it away from the vehicle. Pull the negative battery terminal. Wait 10 minutes. To clear the PCM. Reconnect it. Then try the FOB. This should do the trick.

The 09-10 DJ have problems with the under hood power box (tipm). If your tipm is the original. I would look into this. Search YouTube on 2009-10 DJ tipm trouble. Email him good guy. https://verticalvisions.com/en/26-tipm-repairs Dean

I hereby nominate you for poster of the year! Thank you for the update and good information. D

If you have Bluetooth (Dodge term HFM-hands free module) pull the fuse.

2016 Journey. FOB 3 button. I bought this kit here. You need one working FOB. I read the directions several times. Carefully follow them and I was finished. https://tomskey.com/collections/dodge-journey-2011-2017/products/chrysler-dodge-jeep-and-ram-simple-key-programmer-for-smart-key-fob-cdsk-e3z0sk-kit?variant=35824484515996

The 09 and 10 Journey's have problems with electrical relays sticking on. Then draining the battery. Go here. https://verticalvisions.com/en/ He is very helpful. Has YouTube videos on it. You can email him too. D

First, Go to the correct forum section. Interior Read my post " Popped headrest fix". Easy fix. D

Your right, it is part of the airbag system. For me, I like having this type of headrest. The part of it deploying to me is just un-necessary. From what I've read, they seem to deploy. When they want to. Dean

2016 DJ Sitting in the back seat, behind the popped headrest. The trim piece pops loose off the headrest frame. Lower the front seat back towards you. Then see how the headrest fits into the frame. At the top specifically. Fit the hooks on the bottom of the headrest into the frame. Then you will see how the headrest sits. See my pictures, I marked where the headrest fits into the frame. I applied E6000 adhesive there. I held the headrest to the frame for 15 minutes. It has been a year and holding strong.

Water drainage fix With the hood up. Look along the top inside of the fender. There is a drain channel that runs down to the headlight. Picture #1. The drain channel isn't long enough. Water drains onto the headlight and flows to the back of the headlight assembly. Then down onto the battery located down below it. Picture #2. You can see for yourself, by pouring a little water on the channel. Watch where it goes. What is needed, is to extend the drain. So the rain water is channeled over the front of the headlight assembly. I used a cheap 2 piece curtain rod. https://www.walmart.com/ip/50015121 Pull it apart. The piece that slides inside the other one. It is the shallow depth one. This is important. Cut it 8 inches long. See picture. Basically, I used pliers and snips to trim and bend it. Picture #3. The flat end fits flush underneath the fender drain channel. I used plenty of E6000 adhesive on this flat piece. Pictures #4, 5 Get it flat enough stick to the fender. Wedge something under it overnight, to hold it in place. While the adhesive cures. You just have shape it to fit. It easily fits under the corner of the fender between the headlight. Safely under the hood line. You might want to bend up the metal around the rusty bolt. To direct the water to the new drain. Do the battery terminal cover fix and this drain modification. You should be good to go.

Looking at the battery from the engine bay. Where the air filter box would be. Unpainted on the negative terminal cover.

Negative terminal. IBS battery sensor.

Positive terminal.

Second owner, 2016 DJ 126k miles. 3.6 engine, 62te automatic transmission. 1)The battery is located down in front of the drivers side tire. 2) The biggest issue here, is that the battery cable terminal connections have no covers on them. 3) The next issue is, that rain water from the fender and hood drains on to the battery. I do have a fix for this problem. I will do a separate post on that. The fix is to grease the entire positive terminal connection with dielectric grease. To seal out moisture. Then cover it. Use plenty of grease, it's cheap protection for your battery. To prevent arcing and shorting out. From water dripping on it. Go to Amazon buy this cover. You will use the red one on the positive terminal. This one is a perfect fit for the positive cable. https://a.co/d/5EsIjBj The negative battery terminal. Has the IBS battery sensor on it. Clean and grease connections. I found this cover from Amazon. It works great. You have to trim it some to fit. Then use zip ties to secure it. Paint black for correct negative connection identification. https://a.co/d/hr9tqzU I do have pictures. But, I am unable to access them on my phone. DR
