Howitzer Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I bought a used telematics module off eBay (supposedly for my 2012 Dodge Journey), installed it but it didn't rectify my no connection issue. I didn't mount it in place, could this be the reason it still doesn't connect? There is an "integral locating pin" on the mounting case, should I have mounted the module before testing it? I just left it hanging by the connectors while I tested if it connected or not. See item #1 in attached photo. What does this "Intergral Locating Pin" do? Does this pin close a switch or something?

probak118 Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 You have nothing to loose by trying...that name sure makes it sound like it is a possibility ? They do the same thing for CO detectors that plug into a wall socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probak118 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 If your sure that is the part needed, perhaps it is not working ? Might need to buy new then, just curious what is new worth, from what I read not an expensive part ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been exposed to elements. That's the gamble buying used online Yeah I agree it was a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Is this the same part.

John/Horace Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) If dealer used vin they would be more accurate. Motor city is $724 for that part plus shipping, so cheaper. Did wrecker part show the correct part number on it.? https://parts.motorcitychrysler.ca/p/49391033/68222278AA.html Edited March 21, 2021 by John/Horace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is the 68222278AA number according to motorcity doesn't fit my 2012 Dodge Journey R/T. I wonder if the *******79AA would work just fine, it is a lot cheaper for some reason...

Howitzer Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I contacted Motorcity and they asked for my VIN. Wait and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was a different number that the seller said will work in my vehicle. It didn't work, I sent it back and they refunded the purchase. Still waiting to be paid for my return shipping (as promised). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
