Journey battery problem


Recommended Posts

This is something new:  what could cause all the electronics to quit?   There have been times where the vehicle has been running fine and when parked turn it off.  Try to restart and only sometimes there are various problems; won't start when the brake pushed and button pressed, inside lights don't turn on and won't start after fob unlocks doors and some times the electric doors won't unlock the doors.  Jump start doesn't work.  After removing the battery and the auto parts store checked, the battery is good.  Reinstalled battery and every thing works fine.  The only thing that makes it so it will start is to disconnect and reconnect battery.   Why?

First and only thought... corrosion somewhere in the cables or fuse box. If the battery is fine and the connectors are clean and fit nice and tight, check the other end. If the negative ground looks good, remove it and clean it anyway. Check the main power cable to the fuse box for corrosion. Start there and then move on to search for a faulty connection.

I must admit, I am stumped. 

 

I would have the battery checked, then the cables. My first thought was a loose connection.

check under the under hood power distribution box. They have been reported to corroded....

 

How would you do so?
