Thanks very much for the info

I did manage to remove the valve body and replaced the solenoid pack with one from ebay but now the service awd is on and I can't get the transmission to shift in sport or manual mode Not sure if it will shift on a road test as my power steering pump pulley has a bend in it so I'm now trying to figure out how to get that out. Any info on that would also be great

When the engines running at idle in park I can hear a clicking noise every 30 seconds or so in the solenoid body

I suspect a broken wire but still looking

We had to replace the solenoid pack on my Journey last month as it was damaged in an accident. Once it was replaced, there was a fluid fill and quick learn procedure that had to be done in the shop. You'll have to take it to a dealer or a shop with the correct scan tool to have that done. Not sure if the clicking sound is related to that or not. Autostick may be disabled due to the fault code that has set the Service AWD message. Certain transmission codes will disable that feature.
