Thank you! I'm having the same problem with my 2013 Dodge Journey and it's frustrating as hell, I've only had it 4 months and it's been nothing but problems.
Gm...hope all is well. Yesssssdd it helped my pockets BIG TIME.....Having this issue right now and watched two different videos on two different years. I have the 2015 push start...BOY O BOY
Thank you for this video an thank y’all for the comments I’m having the same issue Today well it been a few days I’ve been having to jump start my 2016 journey I’m gonna try this method thx again 😀
Mate you saved me hundreds you were right thank you for your you tube video I did what you did and because they painted the ground bolt and also the corrosion the earth was not working properly. Tell me about that f....... battery what a joke. Anyway took the ground off and the positive terminal and brushed them back wd40 and first try it started. Thank you very much
Dude I hear your pain. I have a 2010 Journey as well however I'm in Canada but same issue. I'm going to try the ground issue tonight but same as you I will never buy another dodge as long as I live. I buy a bike before I buy another dodge. Thanks for the tip man I hope this is the issue.
A few light taps on the solenoid with a long 1x1 stick got mine started several times then it cleared up and then over a few weeks it refused to start again so i had reached in and around the cold starter and tried and it started, so yes i believe it could be a ground wire issue, so check everything but it will take some patience ,
So I have the same problem. So I was wondering did this work long term. I’m so pissed at this car. I’m spending massive amount of time trying to fix this. So I appreciate your video! ✌🏻
Yes, it did. And then right after that. I had a freeze out plug went then the other one. The third one finally went In order to fix that freezer plug I have to do a head gasket. Change too which is going to cost me around $2,500. So I am going to junk the car.
I would consider changing the "crankshaft position sensor". Has the check engine light been coming on? ours was stalling when warmed up and then wouldn't start until cold again.
Change the " range sensor " . I have a 2010 dodge journey , ran fine for a long time an never had problems until recently then boom wouldn't start at all then I could start it in neutral , well that got to where it didn't wanna work either an you'd have to shake the shifter well I guess from all the damn reading I've done this is a bigggg problem with the journeys an people think it's the starter or battery an ground issue , it's a sensor issue !! It's on the side of the transmission !!! I have a 2010 dodge journey 2.4 4 cylinder so I hope this helps who ever reads it an saves you from looking dumb like I did putting my car in neutral or thinking my starter went out!!
Thanks so much man. You know you were about to say it, but I'll say it. Who was the bumb dss Bitsh that designed putting the battery down under the motor behind the front tire. I will never buy the same pile of cow dung myself as well. Good video.
Simple diagnostics my friends. Any mechanic or skilled wrencher as myself would find that problem...bad ground. No need to remove the battery for testing. The jump start lug and grounds are immediately evident for diagnostic or charging. Chrysler products are world class in performance and longevity. Get yourselves a good battery tester, resistive load preferably and an inexpensive code reader.
I have a 2010 Journey and same problem. I will never buy another dodge in my life. I buy a skateboard before I buy another dodge. The best cars the honda. Thanks for the tip
It's been a year. Just wondering if the ground wire is working still. Heard a dodge mechanic saying the original ground wire is shit. Whoever came up with the design of this engine should be fired!!!!!
Me either, same freaking problem. Sick of it. They won't fix it either. Ty ima try it. Mine locks you out n unlocks without touching anything n the windows come down I thought the stinking dodge was haunted. First Dodge ever owned n last.
LOL!!! That was funny as hell! I'm feeling your pain. This b will not start! Because of you I'm going to work on those 2 posts and see what happens. New battery, new starter, clicks...and nothing! What a pos! Mine's a 2008 Avenger.
Had problems with mine same year as yours I thought it was the battery took it out got it checked and it was good so then took the alternator out to get checked and that also tested good while I had the car taken apart I changed cam and crank shaft sensors and figured upgrading my battery even though the old one was good put every back together runs fine but noticed while I was putting parts back on clicking off and on under the hood inside the fuse box that was causing battery to die! screw dodge and I agree after this loan never gonna look at Chrysler or dodge again!
Took mine in 3 times!!!! They had no problems with it. I think it's also in the key connection because mine is loose, if I take everything off my key ring except just the key it works fine
Mine has done this every six months for the past year and a half , clean and retighten the battery clamps as well , we replaced one because thats all the local had in stock and it just happened again last monday and I have ordered the other clamp . After trying the extra ground to the block and the start in neutral my emchanic friend and I are convinced the crappy stamped metal battery clamps don't have enough direct contact area so they corrode quickly and lose partial contact preventing the car from charging the battery completely . Every time it's happened my battery has needed 12-16 hours on the trickle charger to recharge completely but the alternator puts out just fine . This guy said he removed the battery so he then had to re-install it which probably fixed the problem until the terminals get corroded again , terrible place for a battery .
I think there are multiple issues with the starter system. Oddly enough, mine was doing it regularly and at first wiggling the shifter stick side to side would work, then only putting it in neutral would do it. Then I had to wiggle it in neutral to get it to turn. Eventually it actually got better and only rarely gives me trouble and the neutral wiggle always works. There's also a problem with the main circuit board under the fuse block that disabled my remote start and keyless entry features. Curse the engineer who put the battery in the wheel well where the dirt and salt corrode the battery bracket nut that only a contortionist can reach. And now my power window switches are snapping off when we put the windows up. Another bogus design that to put the windows up you have to pry the switch upwards stressing the plastic tabs that hold it on to failure over time.
I had the same problem on and off, go to start and nothing as if the battery was gone. After several hours at the dealer. they finally took the battery cable off the starter and applied dielectric grease on the starter post and wire. Never had that issue again.
Have to push the breakdown turn the key over move the steering wheel around and it will pay can sometimes I have to do that or it won't start last week I had to put a new battery in it
Well, I have a similar problem with my 2010. I found that I wiggle the solenoid control wire and it starts right up. It is in such a hard place to reach (between the manifold and block), I can't easily get at the connection. I suspect it is a clip on and I was told to get some dielectric grease on it. So I put some on my finger and rubbed it as best as I could feel, wiggled the connection. It was fine for a couple years and it's doing it again. I reach in, wiggle it, and it fired right up. I suspect I need to pull off the manifold and fix it properly.
Its the neutral safety switch in the transmission. Try starting it in neutral. If it starts then thats your problem. My 2010 Journey did the same thing.
I got the same car and the same thing happen mine has been sitting for two months and today I deciding not to junk it but fix it. Got an appointment to have the starter replaced next week, I am going try cleaning ground and hot cables, maybe it is the answer wont hurt to try, Thanks.
Did the car continue to turn on after that minor fix? I currently have 2010 Dodge Journey SE edition & am having same problem as it has power but not turning over to start .. I'm hoping not starter or alternator issue cuz I'm homeless in my vehicle.
@@radhew516 Thanks.. I believe my issue was from short in my driverside door wire harness and control panel which is keeping my dome lights on even tho switch on the blinker arm is off. Or I may have accidentally left one of dome lights on after car turned off. My nephew came to jump start battery n VOILAH !!!!
Doesn't anyone check their batteries, damn everyone thinks it's the starter. I just changed the battery on the wife's Dodge Journey and no problems yeah it's a pain on the ass to get to the battery but damn it's something anyone can do. Should clean all the connections while your there that is the most important part of battery life.
Big Bill at Iron Garage I replaced the battery and got a new one after 1-2 weeks I had to boost the car (no nothing was left on over night) radio,lights, and a/c working fine but the engine wouldn’t start
@@keena5972 I would check the actual switch my wife's car burnt to the ground last year because of a short in the switch. It was a recall but not on the 2010 models. Because I had the dealer checked all the recalls. But the investigation found the short in the switch. Big mess has been a year of insurance and lawyers. But we are through it now.
Going thru it now. I have kept my car maintenance up and everything and now it’s to the point where if I cut it off I know it isn’t going to start back for about 30 minutes. I don’t know if it’s my battery or what. But I am really stressed out with this car. No Check engine lights no vehicle alarms nothing. It just won’t crank if I cut it off.
I just bought mines a week ago and had the same problem the battery died and it took me forever trying to find it until I came to you tube what a crazy spot to put the battery in I would never buy another Dodge again no way
Added the ground to where the negative ground is coming from an ran it to the black metal bracket that's connected to the black hose of the air box filter an now the battery light is on did it's come on
My journey has been sitting there sounds just like this I just bought it 10 gs I been getting burned by mechanics new battery new starter new relays 😣😵
Just went through that for a few months I would pull ground for like a min put back and it started. Wound up being the PCM in my case. Adding extra ground didn't work for me.
Erick Vonbraunsberg I’m having the same problem with a 2009 haven’t tried the extra ground but I’m going to go clean it up right now what is the pack??
Oh dang I almost had dodge change mine today so glad I didn’t I just tried the extra ground worked amazing!! I was panicking cause we don’t have much $ and the 1400$ they quoted me to change it would of been something I couldn’t have done And my wife was all excited about me buying the car for her... but fortunately this was the fix I needed
@@The1994Daniel good luck I'm still paying that bill (put it on credit card) but yeah in the end after they changed the win mod and flash updates , and I tried extra ground and cleaning all contacts. They changed pcm like 2 months ago and it hasn't done it since.
Man, our Dodge Journey 2013 keeps running out of battery juice. Checked for parasitic discharge, 28mA, recharged the battery, still the issues continue. Went for a 250km drive on Friday, parked the car in the interior parkade and on Monday morning the bitch would not start again. So had to jump it again with my Explorer! Should have got another FORD! 🤦♂️
Yea mines been doing it and nobody fuckin knows anything. Of course the dealer said it was the starter and wiring harness for about 600 to fix. Not doing that because that’s not it from what I’ve researched
Yeah, the newer the car, the worse they get. too much crap in the engine compartment that can fail these days. Just saying, get a Honda. Easy fixes, extremely reliable. I drove my 96 Accord through the Mojave without a working radiator three times in the summer. Opened all the windows, rolled down the windows, that managed the heat.
3rd engine, oil pump cyinoid ruined last motor, same problem. Just Dremeled negative, first click start. Went back into the house to get the receipt to take back the new starter and it won't start. Other issue they know and don't tell you, 3 ignition keyfob and electronic replaced under warranty.
It sounds like dodge corp put the battery in the fender well So if your batty goes dead you would have. Way to the battery by pulling the wheel. You can jump it or to charge it to unlock the car Sounds like the engineers found a way to. Have it toed to a dealership To. Check fir a weak battery or a weak ground you have to have the car unlucked to shit it in neutral. For it to be toed just anouther got you from the. Auto maker I have fixed some of Thea’s. Dodge. Cars with a bad neutral switch. Yes they are hell to change. Lots of time consumeing
If this or yours is a push start... Try the pushing the Start button 5 times method. My sisters was doing this also, told her about that method. An it's been starting just fine, even after it won't start the first time...
I have a 2014 that gets REGULAR MAINTENANCE! with 238000 km on it?? I also have a Chevy cruz that's gets the same treatment with less km and less dependable?? Chevy always starts but nothing else works. Replaced window motor, tide rod end, and washer fluid pump in the last yr. Cost alot more on repairs than journey. Zero dollars on repairs in LAST 2 YEARS.
I have this truck and a Chevy. This truck is a piece of S%#!. I was stuck at the store last week for an hour and this truck still wouldn't start. Its been in the shop about 3x since I got it in February. I just drive my Chevy everyday and leave this truck parked.
Thank you! I'm having the same problem with my 2013 Dodge Journey and it's frustrating as hell, I've only had it 4 months and it's been nothing but problems.

Same here will never buy dodge again. Too many problems with it.
that first i know it,where located it that battery!! im done!! no dodge at all!!!
You know what, just shift your car to "N" gear, and then try the igniting again.
Chivy hunh
I agree I drive a dodge journey, and will never ever,ever buy a dodge again.
Feel your pain x2.
Dodge engineers must of been on drugs designing this car.
Yeah good cars comfortable nice but I would never buy another one
Battery placement is decided by the engineer who cheated to get a degree
I too Will NEVER PURCHASE A CHRYSLER DODGE VEHICLE.
I'm done with Mopar
I have the same problem there a shit box !!
Will never buy another one either
I have this truck and a Chevy. This truck is a piece of S%#!. I was stuck at the store last week for an hour and this truck still wouldn't start. Its been in the shop about 3x since I got it in February. I just drive my Chevy everyday and leave this truck parked.
