Expert Answers about Dodge Journey


  • Will Weather Tech Easy-On Stone and Bug Shield Deflector # WT50189 Work on a 2010 Dodge Journey
  • The Weather Tech Easy-On Stone and Bug Shield Deflector, part # WT50189, is a bug shield and a stone deflector. It is aerodynamically designed to not alter the airflow of the vehicle, but still offer protection from rock chips during a road trip. It installs with either 3M automotive tape or fasteners that will use existing holes in your vehicles hood. No drilling is needed. I think it would help tremendously on your road trip to Alaska in your 2010 Dodge Journey. Have a good trip and...

  • Connection 12 Volt Power Wire for 7-Way on a 2009 Dodge Journey
  • Whether you are talking about the 12 volt power wire from a 4-Way powered converter or the 12 volt circuit from a 4- to 7-Way adapter, such as # 37185, they both connect to the vehicle positive battery terminal. It sounds like you are talking about the 7-Way so for it you will need a 40 amp circuit breaker, # PK54540, and enough wire, # 12-1-1, to reach from the front of the vehicle to the rear. You would change the number in the quantity box on the wire page to the amount of feet needed....

  • Does the Computer of a 2013 Dodge Journey Need to Be Reset to Install Trailer Wiring
  • I spoke with my contact at Tow Ready and verified that your 2013 Dodge Journey will not have to be reprogrammed if you install the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118536. This wiring harness will use the factory connectors at the back of each tail light assembly to provide signals to the 4-way connector. I know some Dodge vehicles will come with a factory trailer connector tucked away under the rear of the vehicle and in order to use the factory installed connector the body control...

  • Will Lippert Manual Pull-Out Step LC432690 Fit StarCraft 14RT Pop Up
  • If the mounting bracket width you have is 25.5 inches like you mentioned the # LC432690 that you referenced would be what you'd need. This would match up to that perfectly and would put the lowest step 25 inches from the RV frame.

  • Installation of Brake Controller and 12 Volt Power Wires on a 2010 Dodge Journey
  • We recommend attaching the power wires to the battery terminals directly, through a correctly sized circuit breaker, to protect the vehicle wiring. When installing the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, item # ETBC7, connecting in this manner keeps any short circuit situation from causing problems with the vehicles sensitive wiring and computers. If the battery is in the rear of the vehicle you will need to run the power wire from the brake controller back to the battery, but...

  • Brake Controller Installation in 2012 Dodge Journey V6
  • The etrailer # ETBC7 electric brake controller installation kit is a hard-wired item that will install in essentially the same way in any vehicle. We do not have an install video for a 2012 Dodge Journey but we do have one for a 2014 Grand Caravan and I linked this for you. The installation process will be very similar overall. Certain specific details about the vehicles may differ but the essential steps will be the same. An installation article is also linked for you.

  • Solution for Using Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier at Rear Of RV with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • Since hitch adapters like what you have generally aren't rated for RV use and best case scenario cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent I would not recommend the use of a Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Carrier part # RM-195225 with on. Better solution would be to install a 2 inch hitch on the RV (if it has a 4 inch square bumper), with a hitch like the part # E-100.

  • Recommendation for Trailer Wiring Harness on 2011 Dodge Journey
  • On a 2011 Dodge Journey the hitch wiring does not run to the rear of the vehicle, and the vehicles wiring is not designed to handle the draw of the trailer lights when using a T-One wiring harness that will just plug into the vehicles taillights. You will need a wiring harness that will use a powered converter and have a separate power wire that runs directly to the vehicles battery. The correct wiring harness for the 2011 Dodge Journey with LED lights is the Tow Ready Wiring Harness,...

  • Correct Wiring Harness for a 2012 Dodge Journey SXT
  • I spoke with my contact at Tow Ready and verified that your 2012 Dodge Journey SXT will not have to be reprogrammed if you install the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118536. This wiring harness will use the factory connectors at the back of each tail light assembly to provide signals to the 4-way connector. This wiring harness will only fit the 2012 Dodge Journey and it will not fit the 2009 to 2011 Journeys. I know some Dodge vehicles will come with a factory trailer connector tucked...

  • We have not had a vehicle here to allow us to produce an installation video for this particular wiring harness, Curt # C56330, in the 2013 Dodge Journey. However, since this is a plug-in harness its installation will be quite similar to that of many other comparable products from Curt and other brands.

  • Finding the Reverse Light Wires at the Back of a 2014 Dodge Journey
  • If you are installing a 5-, 6-, or 7-Way trailer connector (or a back up camera) on your 2014 Dodge Journey and the trailer either has an electric reverse lock out or reverse lights then the connection to the reverse light circuit on the vehicle will be necessary. But if you are installing a 4-Way or the trailer does not have an electric reverse lockout or backup lights (or you are not installing a camera) then the connection to the reverse light circuit on the vehicle is not required. In...

  • Finding the Brake Light Switch on a 2010 Dodge Journey to Wire a Brake Controller
  • Finding the stop light wire to connect to a brake controller can be tricky depending on the vehicle. Especially if there is very little space in which to work. You will start by locating the brake light switch under the dash and above the brake pedal. There should be several wires running to it. I have included a picture that shows what it might look like. Using a circuit tester, like # PTW2993, test each wire until you find the one that has a signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed....

  • Finding Location To Attach Ground Wire For Hopkins Backup Sensor System On 2015 Dodge Journey
  • If there is no metal close to the license plate holder on your Journey, you may need to remove the rear panel on your hatch and find a metal point inside the hatch to attach the ground to. You may be able to find the license plate light location inside the rear hatch and use the ground for that light as well. If you need to run extended wire from the ground on the backup sensor, part # HM60100VA you can use part # DW02359-1 that can be purchased by the foot. If butt connectors are needed...

  • How to Install a Prodigy RF Brake Controller in a Vehicle with a 4-Way
  • To install the Prodigy RF in a vehicle and use the part # ETBC7 is pretty easy as you only have to run the black wire from the 7-way to the positive terminal of the battery. Since you don't necessarily need everything that comes with the # ETBC7 you may be better off just getting the # 37185, some 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), and a circuit breaker # 9510 since that is all you would need.

  • Trailer Hitch With Best Clearance That is Most Hidden for 2014 Dodge Journey
  • The trailer hitch that is both the most hidden and has the best ground clearance for your 2014 Dodge Journey is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76225. The reason for this is because it has a fully concealed crosstube and installing it requires cutting the fascia, as you can see by the accompanying photo. The way this installs makes the receiver sit up higher compared to other hitches, including the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12134 you referenced. I definitely recommend the Draw-Tite...
