LOL... getting to them is like being a acrobat ,,,, video would be fun to watch

well I started using a new spray wax and I really like it,,, bought off amazon... Griot’s Garage Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax, SiO2 Spray for Cars, Trucks, and RV’s, Provides Protection and Water Beading on Paint, Wheels, Plastic, Rubber Trim, Chrome, and More, then I used a microfiber rag and some car wash soap along with a Synthetic clay bar Sponge that I had bought a long time ago but really didn't use very often and gave the journey a good wash using both at the same time removing old crap or wax and then air dried the journey with my leaf blower ,and then then just used the spray wax like I normally do when I use regular detail spry and then reapplied another coat later on after a few hours,,MAN the journey feels like a baby's butt smooth and slick and has been staying clean as well,I really like the new wax so much I re-bought the same wax but in a gallon jug ,better price over the long haul,,I am NOT into doing wax jobs (since I am a 73 yr old man) that wears me out so this ended up being something I thought you all might want to try....... Synthetic Clay Bar Ball, SPTA Clay Bar Block, 1Pc Hand Clay Bar Pad for Car Detailing, Clay Bars Pad Auto Detailing, Clay Bar Sponge for Car Detailing

unless the journey was in neutral, that would be the only way it could roll ,,if in rev and the engine off I would assume it wouldn't roll as well never heard of any problems with the brakes and the electrical shutting off
-
well it was her fault or the journeys fault that she owns for rolling or backing into their new cars,of course they would want your ins info......

years ago my daughter had a caravan that had a steering gear that was acting up and she added a bit of fluid to it before telling me about the problem,it ended up being a seal in the steering unit letting the power steering fluid to drain into the drivers side boot by the time I seen it the boot was holding it all in but was ballooned out to the max till it finally blew, then she had a used one installed, she didn't say anything about strange noises and no loss of function till it finally went out

so did you return to have the lug nuts changed out ? and if so show these pictures to the service MANGER NOT the service writer,,,but as others have stated NO you need a large socket to loosen the filter cap same as when tighten it up you can tighten it enough by hand BUT then need to turn ity about 3-4 more turns till the o ring makes contact and then stop.....most dealerships use the newest techs or wash/detail folks for the oil changes

first I have heard anyone talk about this problem ,,,actually had to go look at mine..looks like removing your coolant tank would be the best way to get access to the prop rod plastic grommet don't see what clips you are talking about,,,oh well maybe someone will have some ideas on what you need

LOL,,,,In case you didn't read the above poster just Google on you tube for 2013 JOURNEY blend doors replacement, I would use an OEM blend door actuator yes more expensive than the cheap chinese junk but will last longer, some folks have reported problems that the new one isn't resetting correctly so watch all the you tube videos and also check in our forum for a lot of info on how to do it under the heading Climate Control

Battery Died, now it won't start?
2late4u replied to DodgeBruhBoy's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
don't you just hate that crap..... good luck -
Autel amazon has them I believe that is the brand my tire shop used, not sure if they are plug and play or if you need to program them Just replace all 4 TPMS as mine 2014 did the same thing with the batteries were going wrong,,,the other 3 lights I had as a c2200 code which is an internal failure of the ABS unit which was on backorder when mine went bad a couple of yrs ago,I waited since it was covered under my lifetime warranty I had, all you lose is the cruise control and the anti brake skid system on the brakes... if your shop isn't seeing any codes with those lights are on find a different shop

Battery Died, now it won't start?
2late4u replied to DodgeBruhBoy's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
make sure who ever replaced the battery didn't damaged the connecter with the battery temp sensor is connected and tight, cant remember if its the POS or negative cable if it goes bad or not connected your journey wont start,,,since it happened right after the battery was replaced,,then something happened during the install or right after.......I would recheck both counters on the battery and would even go as far to have the battery checked to MAKE sure it is good as well esp the ground or neg connection -

havent really seen much on here about the hatch lift struts, but a neighbor kia I was checking something out for them and the hood almost got me as it slammed shut, but got to wondering about mine on my 2014 and ya after pushing the electric open switch I have to lift it up quite a bit for it to open at least it stays open tho, got me to wondering and after checking we don't have to much in options, either OEM for about 80-100 plus tax for each one or some off amazon only about 2-3 brands to choose from but one manufacture stands out over the others with a 83% rating with a bunch of journey owners say they have held up for them price is about $25 for both of them so makes me wonder how good they actually are...didn't see none on rock auto Went ahead and ordered them so we will see i guess,I'll post the results as well got to checking I guess no journeys have the lifts for the hood,oh well the proper rod still works great for me

NC/NS to Full-Blown Electrical Mayhem
2late4u replied to AkihikoA60's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
going to all the trouble of pulling the battery, JUST replace it as 4 yrs on a journey is pretty good, they like a strong battery... that said make sure the connections are clean and tight when you finish and use some anti corrosion spray as well....make sure you replace with the correct size and group number as well,,,you can have the old one load CHECKED along with the ALT at your local part store using the remote connections under the hood where you jumped started it..welcome to the group as well -
Electronics gone heywire
2late4u replied to GriffinJourney's topic in Electrical, Battery & Charging
so how old is the battery???? if over 3 yrs old you probally need a new one,,you could have the battery load checked at your local part store. they can also check the alternator as well to make sure it is putting out the correct current to the battery..Most of the electronics wont work correctly with a low charged battery,,,also if you had read your manual it would have showed you where you can check your battery or jump it using the 2 locations on the drivers side firewall one is covered with a red cover to indicate the positive side of the battery current... also make sure when replacing the battery you use the correct size and group number and also make sure the clamps are clean and tight after the install,we get a lot of folks that come here for info and help and then later on find out they had a loose connection at the battery.....Welcome to the group as well -
Get your pads off amazon I only use akabano, they are the OEM maker of pads made in USA and they are great quality

Trunk can't be locked

you can also check out YouTube videos on this repairf as well very common on journeys along with the drivers side door locks and windows at the drivers rubber boot as well -
well a while ago one of my replacement led went out so I got to looking and found an extra one that I had from a different set and installed it on the drivers side.they both worked okay but since I seem to be flush with money,,,LOL,,I ordered a new set of eBay as Amazon doesn't carry the one I wanted...AUXITO 90006/hb4 it's the y13 style real compact and installs fairly easy...actually it is the same brand I first put in back many yrs ago then one burned out so I bought a different brand and then one of them finally burned out so onto the third set and hopefully the finally set cost around $44 off eBay and they don't flicker and they are nice and bright and they came positioned right after they are installed but they do give you instructions on how to rotate the position of the led lamps if necessary.................also when doing the drivers side which is real tight just remove the wire harness bracket that is attached with some Christmas tree plugs gives you a lot more more........

Highest Mileage Journey... Who's in it for the long haul?
2late4u replied to jeffhoward001's topic in Owner Impressions
I Just got Thur spending a bunch of $$ on my 2014, new windshield $100 thru Allstate ins., new tires went with some Pirelli scorpion 3 from discount tire,I have never had this brand before but they are riding quiet and rated real good,I got a great deal due to one of my old tires having to be replaced due to a nail and they adjusted the other 3 out so out the door for $700 with tire warranties as well,,,had a trans service done to a broken bolt on the pan cover that was done at the dealership but was covered up with enough permatex to keep the bolt head from falling off but it was done around 4 yrs and 60 k so I just had it fixed and fluid and filter at the local transmission shop didn't want to blame or argue with the dealership,cost was around $300...So all set for a long time now I hope....
