I have a 2014 and I have changed out the battery 3 times and I never had to clear any codes,maybe I am just lucky
Yes this is my second battery change. This time the battery was around 8V or so. Tried to jump it but no go and then the climate fan wouldn't shut off either. Had to pull the power to stop it so I think things just got a little scrambled from the low voltage.Anyway all good since.

I also have a 2013 that I just replaced the battery about 2 weeks ago. After the battery was changed it started fine but I had codes coming up regarding the accelerator pedal position and 1 other .Car ran but absolutely not much power, running a little rough and couldn't get up a big hill.Took it home put the scanner on and cleared the codes.Problem solved.I think that even just changing the battery put some glitches into the computer and it needed to reset them to run properly again.
Do you have any warnings on the dash?

I have a 2014 dodge journey and it started with the 1 click no start and after I replaced the battery and starter and starter relay it still had the same issue 1 click no start . What I found out is there are 3 post that has ground wires on them behind the fuse box under the hood each one has to be well grounded in order to start and I added a ground wire tieing them all together and then added a ground wire to the engine block . Then I replaced both battery terminals with brass terminals and it worked . The journey starts every time and has not let me down again . So if you have the same issue try tieing all the grounds together and adding a ground to the block it should start and work . Also make to coat all the grounds with a anti Corrosion
That's been mentioned before.There is definitely corrosion that gets on those grounds, a removal and cleanup does wonders.

The one on the right side of the cabin filter is the recirculate actautor.That's the one that causes fogging when it gets stuck in recirculate mode.

my neighbor mentioned as I drove past him that my journey seemed to have a whine that he was hearing, it was real cold that morning and I had just started it and took off as well I had noticed it before but it goes away after a few minutes f warming up,,3.6 eng here with 152 k on the clock
Did you ever get this done?

You mean this ? It's beside the headlight switch,

Yep ground connections under the hood a great place to start.

Try cleaning up the big grounds on the driver side strut tower. They get crappy looking in rust belt areas. Make shiny and then very thin film of dielectric grease. Even the remote battery terminals get corroded a bit and can use cleaning up. I’m thinking ground related issue.
Couple of weeks ago we had that, dash lights flicker Journey wouldn't start.Charged the battery fixed it and I tookk all the grounds off the strut tower and cleaned them up.No problems since so yes this is a great suggestion to try.

Again, behind the glovebox remove the cabin filter.That actuator is the one that does the fresh air or recirculate function.The fact that cracking the windows open helps means that it is stuck in recirculate mode.You can remove the power from that actuator and with your hand flip the vent to the fresh air position.That will solve that problem.Reinstall the cabin filter .I never use recirculate anyway but I did replace the actuator.Sometimes that is not even necessary as the old actuators will start to work again.

@Brig how much did it end up costing you if you don't mind me asking? Same thing happened with my daughter's Journey last night. I just got quoted $160 just to look at it. He said it sounds expensive....
That post was from 2015 don't expect a reply from them.

I have a 2019 journey and for the past few months when I go into reverse my backup camera will either be upside down, black or work as it should. I took it to the dealer and they said they needed to replace the radio, which they did but I am still having the issue. Anyone have this issue and figure it out?
So what did the dealer say when they did what they said was needed to fix the problem and it didn't?
-
The once and only time my 2013 did this it was a bad alternator.

Pretty sure all 3 actuators are the same.

If you read 14.7 v at the battery when the vehicle is at idle , that is charging the battery.Normal.
Define what drains battery when not in use.Days? Overnight?

Pain to take a pic close enough to get the whole thing in but if anyone needs a scan let me know

That sounds like quite a story the csr person is telling you.I'm sure the same bt modules are used by multiple vehicles.I was amazed when my wife changed from an iphone (not sure which model) to a Samsung budget galaxy phone. The Samsung can actually read text messages through uconnect while the iphone never could.I was very surprised by the less functional iphone integration

You lost me when you said these battery chargers/ boosters were putting out ac voltage. How is that possible? There must be some rectifiers in them to output dc voltage. And they should be bridge rectifiers. So how are they outputting ac voltage?
-
Awesome hope that solves your problems and maybe somebody else!

Doesn't the recirculate only work in certain modes? I think I have seen that behaviour before with the button flashing.
-
You can easily disconnect the connector from the recirculate actuator and manually put it in the fresh in position. The fact you crack the windows and let fresh air in is telling you it's the recirculate actuator. You can watch it work if you have the car running and remove the cabin filter and watch to see if the door moves. My guess is it's not.
Anyone interested in a class action lawsuit against Dodge?
