They can be programmed manually by the dealer. Sounds like you've done most everything correctly. I double-checked the part number for you and it is correct. Below is from the shop manual - did you let the car sit the required minimum of 20 minutes to initiate the learn sequence? Each sensor’s (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the module can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The module can automatically learn and store the sensor’s ID while driving (within 10 minutes continuously above 15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)) after a new sensor has been installed. The vehicle must be stationary for more then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Yes, please clarify.

I wouldn't say real time data, but when they update the status it posts the city and time of update. Ray's Journey became a US Citizen today, as shown by this update: Current .. Interchange Received 11/01/2014 02:57 PM EDT On Railcar - Laredo, TX

I checked on my end for any STAR cases or service bulletins - none at this time. There should be some stored diagnostic information in the door module or body control module if there was a malfunction. All the dealer would have to do would be to plug into the car and scan it to see if anything was there, and then diagnose the issue according to the fault code(s), if any. If no codes were present then the issue may have to become more frequent before it can be accurately diagnosed. I had a similar problem, but opposite - my car kept trying to lock itself repeatedly after we got out of it. I found the driver's side power door lock button physically stuck down and repeatedly cycling the door locks every 10 seconds or so. I freed up the switch and cleaned it in case something like a grain of sand or something sticky were holding it down. No problem since. If the problem occurs again for you, check both driver and passenger side door switches for the same condition. If they are free, then try to see a dealer so the car can be scanned.

Not trying to rob your thread, dhh - but rather to inspire...pics please! I am definitely interested in seeing what it looks like, especially in your color.

I tend to agree!

It's true; many people don't know the car at all. I promote it constantly at my dealership and have helped sell a few as a result, but you are correct in that it is hardly promoted. I see Jeep commercials all the time but rarely a DJ spot. No one in my town has another one in Copper Pearl either (I like that, though!) And yet our friends in Canada have made them hugely popular (thank you!). I read the U.S. sales reports from Chrysler and each year they have increased, but where I do not know.

I've seen a couple of cracked housings before. We did two just last week. One was a 3.6 Avenger which had not yet had an oil change. The other was a 3.6 Grand Cherokee that had been serviced the week prior. The cap may have been overtightened on that one, causing it to crack. Can't tell for sure, though. This is something I'm keeping an eye on in my shop. I've also seen one where an independent shop serviced the car and omitted the seal on the cap when they put it back together. That one had to be towed.

Au contraire - the expected rail shipments are available to dealers. They are not always updated in a timely fashion but give an idea of a vehicle's progress. Ray's Journey departed Villa de Reyes today and is due into Laredo on 11/2. Here's the expected movement: Future .. Railcar - Interchanged 11/02/2014 09:03 AM EST Laredo, TX ..

There is a difference between Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIM) and Security Alarm. All Journeys have SKIM but the Security Alarm is optional. It is standard on Limited and R/T only.

See my PM reply to you.

Make sure that it is armed before opening the door. I always test from the driver's side so you can watch the LED in the tach to see when it is armed. When the LED stops flashing rapidly and blinks once every few seconds, then it is ready. Perhaps your Journey is not equipped? I could check for you - all I need is the last eight digits of your VIN.

Sorry I misunderstood. The way to test the alarm would be to lower the window on the driver door. Then, close the door and lock it with the fob. Wait 30 seconds for the alarm to arm, then reach in through the open window and open the driver door using the inside handle. The car will see that as an intrusion and sound the horn and flash the lights. Disarm by unlocking the door with the fob.

The oil sending unit is a known problem which has recently been granted a warranty extension beyond 3/36 here in the US. Like you, my only complaint is the tranny and I've only had one problem - had to replace the radio due to a corrupt navigation map.

Locking the door with the key fob, or by pressing the power lock button and then closing the door(s) will arm the alarm system. There is an option in Settings on the radio to enable/disable the horn chirp when the doors are locked.

Welcome!

If the car wash has one of those high-pressure fans to blow the water off of the car at the end of the wash, it is not unusual for it to spit a couple of drops into the interior. My 300M has done that during the fan cycle but has never leaked water otherwise in all of its 14 years. If you have compressed air and a blow gun, you can run compressed air down the sunroof tub drains to make sure they are clear. If the car does not leak any water thru the roof in any other circumstance, then there is nothing to worry about. Leave the shade open during the next rain storm and see if any water comes in. If so, then it is time for a dealer visit. This would be a warranty matter.

That is a badass setup for sure. I love it on the Durango, Charger and Dart. Best of luck with your Durango. I love it also, but my wife felt it was too big. I have to say that the Journey really is the perfect size for us.

Guess what, Ray? At 2:47 PM Central time today, your Journey became reality! Still showing shipment of 10/28 and *tentative* delivery to your dealer by 11/18. I'll watch that date for changes. Mine varied a few days back and forth before actual delivery. You'll probably be driving it in about a month. It'll be the longest month of your life! Start pacing...

Deep Sapphire Blue is probably my favorite color for the 300M Special. If you're a member of the 300M Enthusiasts Club, or have visited that forum you've no doubt seen many PBW Specials over there wearing the requisite Zaino as you describe! I've suggested a Blue Streak Pearl (new color this year) Crossroad to our sales manager for stock at my store. I think it looks cool in the pictures and would likely sell in a heartbeat.

Does your Durango have the Racetrack taillamps?

Copperhead Pearl was the name used for this color on the Ram 1500 truck, yet on the Journey it was simply called Copper Pearl until recently. The colors, and the color code were identical, just the name anomaly was the only difference. As for the "on fire" pic - just shoot it in direct sunlight after just waxing and you'll get it!

It's all good, Ray. I checked my status every single day from order to the day it rolled past my office on the truck. I just checked again...status unchanged. Watch for updates this weekend from me. The dealership name that is listed is Lander-Mclarty Chrysler Dodge in Huntsville, which matches your post. As of now, it goes from Toluca to Laredo, Texas, then Memphis to Nashville. Tentatively scheduled to be unloaded from the railcar in Nashville on 11/08. It will presumably be trucked from there to Huntsville, but none of that has been posted yet. And remember, these are tentative dates which usually swing a day or two here and there along the way. Mine was built on 4/25 but did not make it to my store in NY until 5/15. Sat in a yard in NJ for a week which killed me. Yours *should* get to you quicker since you are a lot closer to the plant than I. I'll be watching!
