First Glitch...

My preferred location of blog writing seems to be the end chair of the waiting room of Manitoulin Chrysler. That probably explains my lack of entries over the last few months since I traded in the Liberty, I just don't get over here much anymore. Not that the Jeep gave me any serious problems but it was always an oil change or tires or tie rod end or some other sundry thing.

I'm here today because I've just had my first problem with the Journey. When I got home from the market last night it refused to stay locked. No matter what I did after three or four seconds up the locks would pop again on all doors and of course the flashers would flash and the headlights would come on.

Pulling the door lock fuse didn't make any difference so I ended up disconnecting the battery for the night and now I'm at the shop while they try to figure out what the problem is.


My theory is that the key fob is putting out a constant "unlock door" signal but we'll wait on the official word and I'll keep you posted.

Did you try taking the battery out of the key fob?

Actually I didn't even think of taking the battery out of the fob. If I'd done that I wouldn't have had to rack my brains trying to remember how to set the time on the clock that re-set itself when I disconnected the car battery. The problem was indeed the fob and the garage has a new one on order for me. What do you bet it won't be covered by warranty!
