Thanks for the welcome rolly...today i am having another learning experience because we left the SXT in the dealer to proceed the recalls and try to solve the electrical problems. I ask to stay with the technicians to watch and learn how to access the main wiring and connections. I know it sounds silly but i have absolutely no idea about such things...it was funny at least...

Hi everyone! First i want to beg your pardon for my english. I am a brazilian citizen and me and my Wife are a proud owners of a 2009 SXT journey and a PT cruiser. We are very happy to have found this forum when people shares lots of useful information that saves a huge time when maintainance is required and add knowledge about our dear cars. I am a police officer with 20 years on force and she is a doctor and we have four kids between 1,5 months ( a couple of twins) and a 6 years old girl and a 8 years old boy. As you çan imagine, here in Brazil everything related to dodge, jeep and chrysler are very expensive if you use dealers services and parts. I use to buy some components on summit racing site and e-bay because is infinitely cheap comparing to the prices in the stores here. My next step is increase my studies in dodge mechanics and eletronics to keep the maintainance costs under control, so i can make the simple steps by myself. Thank you guys for the oportunity given to me to join your fórum and i hope i can contribute as well i have been helped with the information and good will from you.

Hi guys, that's my first post here. I live in Brazil and own a 2009 SXT journey that o love, but recently the car is showing the same problems related in this topic. I tried to clean the electrical connections and now the car's behavior gets a little better, and the problems just occur when i insert the key and the panel makes the initial crosscheck. The major problem is because here in Brazil parts and serviços are ridiculously expensive and the car is now no dealer to make the door wiring and brakes recall. I saw in other forums some guys trying the cleaning connections solutions or even disassembling some aftermarket components to solve the problems. I have a rear parking sensor installed and ask for the dealer to remove just to see what happens. Any ideas about how to proceed? Sorry about the english, i'll do better next time!!!
