Went back to the dealer to get the 3rd key programmed, and apprently in addition to consumers not being able to program their own keys, the dealer could not program the key. Looks like the module either chnaged RFID specifications, or they found a way to not allow it to use non-OEM keys.

Just another update on this never ending topic. After I had my R03 recall performed, I tried to program and new spare key and to my amazement you are no longer able to perform this procedure yourself. I assume this has something to do with the new Win Module. I'm searching for the reason, but have not received any answers yet....I'll keep you posted.

Just had mine done, and gave them all three keys, but they failed to program our spare/emergency key, and I tried to do it per the manual, and it looks like they took that capability away from the vehicle owner, so I'm haveing to go back and get them to do it.

On the previous Ferd Vehicles and on my Dodge Megacab and our Jeep Patriot they work just as one would expect, but for some reason the Journey, they just don't match up.

Gee Sorry, this was seemed to me the most appropriate topic area: TECHNICAL FORUM > TSB's, Recalls & Maintenance. Didn't know this was now only a TSB area. Move it to the right area then.

Well, the past two nights have been the first real Fog driving in the Journey. The stock/factory Fog Lights are almost useless. They only add a little extra visibility, but also add more fog glare. In non-Fog situations, they help a lot.

28,000 miles on mine.

Non-Towing is averaging 22 MPG Hand Calculated for (City and Highway).

JT-One Connector w/Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite - Dodge Journey

PTO? Say what, I know a PTO to be a Power Take Off.

The one I am looking at has the Dodge Ram symbol and lights up red. It works through your trailer hitch electrical receptacle.

Careful, you drive a Dodge not a Ram.

RIP Dodge Truck Brand, to hell with the Ram Brand

Putting the Journey mats inside though defeats the purpose.

And is the cause of most of the stuck accelerator crashes, like the most recent Toyota recall. So don't do it.

The factory harness that came with my Journey does not use a t-connector or pull power from the fuew/battery. It connects between the wiring harness and lamps, and has the noise relayes. I wish I had bought he solid state version, as it would be quieter when I lock/un-lock the vehicle.

Yep, they even show the results of selling off the "RAM" Dodge Trucks. what a joke the company has become.

$80! Stop, the install is very very easy.

Go to e-Trailer and the harness is $$49.95

Even Journey's equipped with the towing package, the wiring harness is in a bag in the back for the end user to install, and no it doesn't connect to a 8 wire plug, it's a relay version of the solid state aftermarket units that connect to the tail lights!

The vehicles that will be refreshed by the end of next year are the Avenger sedan, the Journey sports utility vehicle, the Caravan minivan and the Charger sedan.

Product News Story

Just completed 500+ miles of towing the RZR with the Journey again, and I averaged 15.2 MPG in heavy winds, and 16.8 MPG in normal wind.

I did have to drive almost exclusively in 5th gear, as in "D" it would not keep the torque converter locked up in 6th, and I did not want to burn up the tranny.

Sounds like another one of those laws enacted by someone who doesn't properly use their lights. You are supoised to NOT be running High Beams when there is on coming traffic, or vehicles in front of you. So the Fog Lights on at the same time would not be a hazard.

My 3500 Pickup I bought used has been I believe re-programmed (per reading other forums) by a dealer to let them remain on when the High Beam is on.

In reality, with the amount of traffic these days, I hardly ever get to even run any of my vehicles with the High Beams.

Just completed 1,342 mile round trip (65-75 MPH), and averaged 23.4 (hand calculated). Now have 22,500 miles on the RT

Leave the fog lights on, and when the lights come on the fog light indicatpor will light up, or the high beam indicator.

Here is my Journey's MPG. The29 MPG was just a few local miles, and the 10 MPG was a few miles in heavy town traffic. My 19K mile average is 21.44.

Prior to the 8,000 mile mark I was using 89 and 90 octane, since then 97 octane. Most of the 89 mand higher octane here is 87 with a higher blend of ethanol, which is not as fuel efficient as gas.

I have the Curt Class IV hitch, but am sorry i used the Dodge wiring harness. It uses relays and is noisy, I used an aftermarket wiring harness on the Patriot and it's solid state and quite.

Looking at the pic installation viteo, I'd say no easy swap.

I don't have Navigation, so why would the maps be on my drive?

On my Trip to and From FL I got 23.6 MPG (>1,700 miles). Not what I'd hoped. I can normally always beat the EPA ratings, but not in this vehicle. The Wife's Patriot with th3 4cyl gets 27+ on a similar trip.
