I would check battery connections and test battery. a battery can have a bad cell and run lights but not have enough amps to spin a stater. if everything on battery is good i would suspect a bad starter

If the lights dont dim when you try to start it and you do hear a distinct click try tapping the starter with a hammer while some one is trying the key, also locate the stsrt solinoid thats the thing that should click when turning the key, check to see if when it clicks that 12 volts from ground to the bolt that holds the wire going to the starter is present

SOURCE: my 2009 dodge journey won't

This is a notorious problem with '08/'09 Journeys. Unfortunately Dodge, nor the dealers have identified the root cause. Dealers will start by replacing the WIN (wireless ignition) module, then the starter, followed by relays, the ELV module, and finally send you on your way. Soon you will stranded with a NO START / CRANK INOP problem again. There is no real solution identified... ...and that's a travesty. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I'm told Chilton does not make a repair manual for 2009 Dodge Journey.

You're probably right. It may be too new.

2009 dodge journey

Dodge Journey owners please go to http://www.change.org/petitions/dodge-journey-s-defects sign and pass along please. Dodge had built and sold this car with defects that they refuse to fix, this is not the kind of quality we should expect.

Dodge journey no bus

Vehicles with more then one module , PCM - engine control module , BCM - body control module , EBCM -anti lock brakes , SRS - air bag module etc... all communicate on a serial data communication network .
"NO BUS" means that the communication system between the computers has stopped. How to Diagnose Controller Area Network CAN If the shop can't find a problem your not going to , very complex . There have scan tools and lab scopes to test .

Dodge journey intake manifold

My engine light is on. The code is P2004. The warranty does not cover this part, go figure! The mechanic said it is the intake manifold that needs to be changed out. A friend is going to do it for me. Where is this part located on a 2009 Dodge Journey? Do you know if the part is expensive? The mechanic wants to charge me $650 in which I don't have! I am a single mom!
