wrenchpro got a reaction from terrysymes@gmail.com in Coolant Leak from heater Hose behind the Engine?
Not a Journey in these pics but the process, other than the ease of access, is the same. ABS 'Y' fitting and regular heater hose vs the $216 part my (Canadian) dealer quoted me.

wrenchpro got a reaction from dhh3 in "gate" message on dash display
Pulled hatch inner trim panels off and located latch. Also discovered why courtesy light didn't work, it wasn't connected! When I disconnected the sensor wire the dash message went away so it is the sensor itself. Unfortunately the sensor is not replaceable by itself so I tried to find the latch assembly. Not available in local wreckers yards and dealer wants $283 + taxes! Guess it is going to stay disconnected until I find a used one!

I did finally locate the "latched" sensor on the AlldataDIY website. It is at the latch assembly in the lift gate, but is separate from the electronic release solenoid. The cable must also run through the wire bundle I recently repaired so if the connection at the sensor is OK I'll likely have to pull the accordion boot off and check the wires again...arrrrrrrgh!

Does anyone know where the sensor is for the rear hatch? I have a "gate" message on my dash display and can re-close hatch but message remains. Was wondering also if this was causing alarm to go off for no apparent reason?
I recently repaired the wire bundle from the body to the hatch but had no issues for several weeks until now. Did not have this issue before repairs and everything was working correctly after the repairs, except for the courtesy light in the hatch which has never worked. (bought used)
