Abs Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Dodge Journey se 2014 starting problem. Scanned with only ABS no communications code. No any other code. Engine can start with direct cable feed sometimes. But it will not start from when the push button is pressed. Fuse box replaced all wires checked and still the engine won’t start. New battery installed now bur it will not only cranking. Please I need help to get the start. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Start with trying to start car in neutral, park/neutral safety switch could prevent starting. You said it sometimes starts with direct cable feed. Is that jump starting car with cables? The push button needs a good strong 12 volt signal. If jumping with extra battery is working, your car battery is probably bad. Try charging with charger, test your alternator is working properly.

Abs Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Thanks John/Horace, The direct feed is not jump start but to bypass the key and start it direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John/Horace Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Jumping 85/87;starter relay terminals bypasses all safety security stuff. Starter should always turn over, if ignition is turned on, then will usually start. If jumper bypass sometimes doesn’t engage starter; then it could be internal starter issue like worn starter solenoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
