So tomorrow I am taking it in to get it fixed, they sai they don't know what they are going to do, she said most likely going to replace the whole wiring harness. And everything she said will be covered under warranty I was making sure that it would I wasn't going to pay for any of it. And she also said that it is a common issue for some Chrysler products, so I guess it would be a good idea to make sure this isn't happening to you.

Troll, one post and this is what he does I think he's just a 15 year old kid who is trying to make it believeable that he has a car, and is bashing it because he can. Like previously stated give us some facts about what went wrong with your car? My guess is operator error, learn to take care of a car and it will take care of you.

Living in Michigan I placed the molded ones from Mopar on myself and so far with about a year on them they are working great. They had one problem tho They only had about 3 connection points with the bumper so one install you could move and shake them with your hands if you wanted to, so I drilled another hole away from the other connection points and put in an extra push connector thing that ou can buy from Autozone or Advanced auto parts so it would disperse the connection points to the bumper more evenly and stop all the free movement of the flaps. That was a easy and simple solution to stop the free movement but we also havn't experianced any of the shaking and shimmying. How can you tell if they are shaking in the back anyway at 60+? can you feel it in the steering wheel or how exactly?

Well I know that the 2010 Journey has at least one recall on it for the ignition problem causing it to turn off while driving? I called them up today to ask them about the recall and have them get the parts and told them about he socket and I have to bring it in tomorrow, this is what gets me, they said the Journey has no recalls.... if they ased for my VIN then said that I would be fine because they could check to see if mine was effected, but nope they didn't ask for my VIN. So tomorrow when I go in to get the melted socket looked at I'm gonna print out from this forum and from other sources about the recall and lay it on them.

I did the same thing to our SXT that had all incandecent on the inside, so I replaced the front two reading lamps the middle dome lamp and both liftgate bulbs as well. When going to see the angle as well for the license plate bulbs I realised my socket was melted. did this happen to any of you? Here is my post I started with my issue. My issue

Any pics of all the chrome parts?

Hi everybody, I'm not sure if there is a thread about this already or not but. I have recently upgraded my interior lights from the incandecent to the LEDs becasue our SXT did not have the optional LED interior lighting. So far everything is so good and its a hell of a lot brighter now and everyone thats seen it before and after is impressed. My friends where sceptical of the outcome and now they are all believers. Well anyway back to the point, I was so pleased with the outcome and brightness of the LEDs I bought that I wanted to place LEDs in the license plate bulbs. So I first looked to see if they came in straight down or at an angle. so from looking into them they looked as if they came in at a 40' angle so that was fine. I next wanted to make sure no warning lights came onto the dash to say if I had a bulb out so I took the housing out which was easy with a flat head. so now I have it hanging and I twisted to remove the socket and it was tough to do, so I was curious, so I had to al the way turned and it wouldn't come out so I pulled and I could feel resistance and I finally got it out and to my amazement the socket was melted to the bulb! Also the socket seamed to have swollen from the heat as when I removed it it acted like a gorger and the plastic the was swollen on the inside scrapped off into the housing and I had to shake it untill all of it fell out. It was all brown and orange from the melting and burns. (see picture). I also removed the other one to find the same thing happened to it. At this point I was sure that I would bring it in to get replaced at no cost under warranty or anything because this is not normal because I have a '97 Stratus that has had nothing like this. I then was feeling it and it felt wax like and I could dig into the plastic socket with my fingernails and peel it like wax also, it was soft not like hard plastic like it should be. So Friday I'm going to bring it into the dealership to get them to look into replacing it without any cost to me. I'm pretty upset that this has happened to a car thats only a 2010. Well I hope if you havn't checked yours I suggest you do so it doesnt get worse. After they get replaced I plan on puting the LED bulbs in right after, they will run cooler and not melt the socket I'm pretty positive. Well heres the picture...

Thats man thats what I was looking for, so I guess if you wanted to do LEDs all around you need resistors then? in that case I might not do that then. thanks again man, much needed help.

Hi all, I am new to this forum and thanks for having me, I am going to perform a led retrofit to my journey as well both inside and out, but I have ran into a problem. As you know for the turn signals and such you need a resistorbut I want to go the route that is less painfull, I want to install a electronic flasher instead. I have looking in the manual and on this forum but have not been able to find out if our car has a blinker relay or not. I know some cars do and others don't and I hope that ours do so it can be a simple swap. I hope someone can help me out with this. best reguards. -Ron P.S. I have checked out the led retrofit post but unless I missed something I didn't read anything about switching out the relay or not.
