William Burke Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 After buying our 2010 Journey R/T about 3 months ago, we've had our share of electrical issues all seem to be solved except one. When opening and closing drivers side door, dome lights do not turn on or off. All door button functions work fine. Had auto electric guy look at it and he's stumped. Any ideas out there?

Do you have any info on the wire loom recall. Is the wire loom in the door itself? What door switch are you referring to?? I am not too educated on these things.

OhareFred Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) There is a switch that turns the lights on and off when you open the door. If you took the car to an electrical expert they should have checked that. The wire loom goes from the door to the body of the car. It’s inside the rubber grommet between the door and body. Open the door, look for the black rubber thing by the hinge. Open an account with Mopar.com. It’s free. You put your vin number in and it will tell you if there are any outstanding recalls needed for your car. Good info from them.....

There were 3 recalls that were already completed. I did remove the rubber conduit on the door and there was the wiring and the loom. All looked good and solid! I'm sure the auto electric checked the switch, that's why he was baffled. Thanks for the info! OhareFred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well, I would say if it isn’t the door switch, it’s in the wiring, which can be very time consuming to track down....best of luck! William Burke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Burke Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Thank you everyone. I replaced the tipm with remanufactured one. Solved all my issues, just now have all error lghts on dash. Any ideas? All car functions work now except door lock buttons, but keyfob works on all locks. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Burke Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) My electric guy brought in a 3rd party programmer, so I don't know the details, but it works and that's all I care. He charged $200 to program. Edited November 4, 2019 by William Burke correction 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
