Dodgejourneyluvr Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I have a 2011 dodge journey. Recently hit a deer. I cannot operate my passenger headlight, radiator fan or horn. I have found the one end where the connector has become disconnected, however I cannot find where it connects to on the passenger side. I've attached an image of what it looks like. It originally has a black casing which connects into another part with a prong. I've already found a replacement connect. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgejourneyluvr Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 It's near the passenger side front wheel well. On the other side of the plastic guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanical-idiot Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) You have got to stop hunting with your Dodge Journey!!!!! http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106993 Check out this site for some photos. It is amazing the damage that can be done by hitting an animal. Scroll down to see where the guy hit a horse with his subcompact car. This accident did add some "horsepower" to that crappy little vehicle. mechanical-idiot Edited April 30, 2018 by mechanical-idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechanical-idiot Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Nice mess. I hope that the animal did not suffer, which it probably didn't. That looks like about 3 grand in damage. Time to start looking for some used parts. mechanical-idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLovenDodge Posted yesterday at 09:53 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:53 PM hey there, I am tripping on your post had to double take that it was not mines because i also have a 2011 dodge journey that also hit a deer and dang near the same damage on the same side. I was super lucky because hitting a deer most usually destroys your car. I also only had basic insurance and ended up doing the repairs myself which came out pretty dang good but I also have that same wire or connecter that is hanging out solo and i have no idea where it goes. I read that you found its home but could you please be a little more specific of where it belongs because Im still lost on trying to find where it goes.

Black OVAL shaped connector with different color top end {where 2 wire ends would go}? That's the connector for remote start hood safety switch. Most all DJ's have that in the main harness, but if not equipped with remote start on your FOB, then it just "hangs there. Good luck on the damage repairs!
