    Bro you are life saver! You right 40 flipping videos on UA-cam and you the only one to get down to source bro! Did your battery have a charge before and after you swapped sensor? Thank you for your diligence my man, you saved my me a unworldly headache

      It was fully charged and started up 2 other cars with no issue. That why I knew the battery was fine

      @RexDaSpeedDemon but 8 got mine to work. The only difference is that my key for has to be in the cup holder for the car to start. Which is not a issue but just lil something different. But thanks again bro

      Anytime brother 😎 Took me months and months of having the issue and seeing a bunch of others have the same issue. No mechanic could figure it out and there were no videos so I decided to take a few days tearing the damn thing apart and after a few F-bombs and some vodka I found the issue 😂 Glad it worked out for ya!

    This is so helpful. I am currently going through this with my 2014 Dodge journey and the dealership is saying it's the PCM and that's why it won't start or do anything.

      Yea this is a known issue that nobody really had a solution for so I tore the entire front end apart looking for the source and was lucky enough to find it. Watched hours of videos on UA-cam and checked a ton of forums and dodge journey pages and absolutely nothing was working until I figured this out. So I decided to post this hoping those having the same issue would see it and finally have a fix. I hope it helps

Luckily second time this happened i did get the 5 press ignition thing to override and start so i wasn't stranded but that's no solution just a bandaid... I need a fix.

    Hey great video thank you. I have a 2014 journey that won't start. I have a quick question for you if you can reply id appreciate it. When I get into my journey everything lights up as normal. When I push the start button the light on the ignition goes to acc but then nothing, no start. Did you have that issue? Did your acc light up at all? Very fucking frustrating. Thank you

    • @RexDaSpeedDemon
      @RexDaSpeedDemon  5 місяців тому +1

      Yes same exact symptoms. Lights on dashboard were fine until I tried starting it. The brake pedal was extremely stiff and wouldn’t depress. But the car did absolutely nothing. I would start by making sure the battery and normal things are working fine. Like fuel pump, serpentine belt, check motor oil levels, starter and alternator (if you can) but if the battery is charged, it usually means the alternator is fun and most likely the battery is fine if it’s holding that charge. So it leaves you with the starter and this sensor that I replaced and I think it’ll most likely be the sensor if you’re getting clicking when trying to start it
