I’m 😊 l
It a piece a shit vehicle that what it is.
we journey owners should unite and sue dodge for this dumbness
Your not lying there
seriously, who designed this???
Its not like you change a battery every month,
Relax
@@wst8340 I'm not sure I'm on my 2nd one in a year
Dollar for dollar many times the resale of a BMW lol 😅
The fact this channel has made 200
Videos on how to fix this vehicle speaks volumes.
Comment section is great on here. I just changed battery and every single comment ran through my mind. It was funny to come here and read them. Lol
WHY would you place a battery in that location
Because they are dumb suckers.
Becuase then you'll pay the dealership to do a battery install rather then do it yourself. Battery replacement is by far the most commonly done piece of maintence owners choose to do themselves.
Little late to the party. But contrary to the belief of the two people who responded to you, The battery is in this location to help with weight distribution. The lower to the earth you have heavier masses the more stable the vehicle is. Sure it sucks but it's actually for a reason. Many other manufacturers also do this.
@@TheWarjunkie666 lies!
@@TheWarjunkie666 Which ones? So we can avoid them too.
dodge designers meeting: " ok guys, whoever can come up with the absolute worse place to put the battery will win a week off with pay."
That’s how I’m feeling right now smfh
Great video...thank you for posting. Dodge did do a crappy job putting the battery there.
Dodge does a crappy job on anything 🤷♂️
I'm so annoyed having to go out into the cold and replace my battery because dodge decided to put it underneath 🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@Triplemyworth709Fortunately for me I am in a warm climate. Still not looking forward to this later today.
Agreed
Yes i agree🥵😡😡😡
if you live in a high car theft area, get this car. they know stealing anything on this car ain't worth the hassle

You guys have been a life saver with the Dodge Journey line of videos. You've allowed me to maintain and repair my wife's journey meticulously! I know with any issue the dodge has ever had you've got great repair videos I can trust. Thank you, a million times thank you.
Great video. I liked the fact there was no editing really showed that this would be a pain to get in and out. Good job guys.
Stupid dodge engineering
What a dumb shit. They make everything so complicated
Every person who design cars should spend 2 years as a mechanic.
im doing this tomorrow. im mechanically inclined, an this video is really helpful. thank you !
godamn dodge !!!!
This video saved me hours. Really appreciate the details such as the size of the bolts and where to get replacement trim clips. Thank you.
You guys are so amazing at explaining complex tasks in easy to understand ways. I'm not even into car repairs or mechanical things but it's compelling content which is why you have so many views around a Dodge Journey. You also sound like you love what you do. Well done.
Thankyou for your channel. My wife owns a 2015 dodge journey, owning an American car while living in Australia, makes standard repairs difficult. Dodge must have rocks in their heads when they designed this car. Thankyou for your channel, and for explaining the lunacy which is a Dodge Journey.
Kind regards
Colin Grundy
Thanks for that! My wife and I just changed the battery in her 2014 Journey. We hoisted the cables and the hold down bracket up out of the way with wires. Folding back the rest of the inner fender and wiring it in place out of the way also makes the job easier. We installed a Walmart battery which was a 1/2" higher, so the hold down did not fit. We took the battery box out (4 bolts) to modify it. We spent the better part of two days doing it, with all the rest and thinking periods, but it is done. I just turned eighty and it was not an easy job. Stupid, stupid place for a battery!!
I am 69 years old my battery is dead on my yard do you think I can replace mine by my self
When I had a journey I was in a position I had to replace the battery in my garage. OMG, what a process it was. Never again will I get a vehicle like that. The WORST design ever.
good thing every American manufacturer does this now, unless you wanna buy a chinease piece of garbage
@@alexfitzpatrick2509 every American manufacturer does NOT place their battery in this location.
@@RJB Even dodge don't do this to all their cars
The Shooter's Bay-Guns&talk nope they don’t. Never said they did. Just saying I won’t get one like this again.
I had the same setup in my Chrysler Sebring convertible. Changed the battery myself, no big deal.
The next place the Doge engineer will hide the battery will probably be in the Gas tank " in the near future .🤬👨🔧
Y’all have been a life saver these past few years with your videos , thank you for being detailed and showing links to where to grab items . My wife says hello from Texas 🎉 👋
It's a good guide on how to replace the battery placed in the most ridiculous position.
Regular guy here, did it without removing the wheel. Just turn the wheel hard to port. It's a bit cramped, but it's definitely possible. Hardest part was keeping the clamp from falling into the way whilst lifting the new battery into place, just as seen in this video. Dropped a bungee tie-down from under the hood, hooked it to the clamp, and pulled it taut to keep the clamp lifted. Took less than an hour.
Less than an hour for a battery change is a low bar.
Thanks guys... Great instructions. Got it finished thanks to your careful details.
Lol when I need my battery replaced I’m going to autozone for a free battery replacement 😆
I tried, they literally said “not on that car” 🥴
@@kmerk6218 yep they will if it's easy to reach. I don't blame them.
You guys are life savers. Thank you very much.
It's not you guys, it's ma'am!!!!😂😂😂✌
I had little faith in doing this job. But after watching your video I got the courage to do it. And I was successful.
❤❤
Thanks guys. 👊🏾🤟🏾
Newer cars making it difficult so owner takes in shop instead of self work to save money🙄
Thank you for posting this video! It really helped me!
Hello! Great video. What are the measurements of the battery for the 2015 Dodge Journey crossroad?
thank you so much you have helped my learn how to fix my car now 2 times thank you 💯👍👍👍
Before installing the panel I would start the car to make sure everything ok. This is important if the post and terminal connections had corrosion. As you cannot access the battery under the hood.
Not to mention impractical...also a dangerous location in case of small impact. Bravo Dodge
Saved me $150!!! Thanks!!
Thank you for this valuable video! 👍🏽👍🏽
Earlier today, I confidently bought a battery for my Journey thinking it’s as easy as replacing my Altima’s and Corolla’s. Seriously, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot were they thinking at Dodge??? 👎🏽👎🏽
My girlfriend has one of these cars and knowing the battery location was all I needed to know. Thanks for the info it saved me a lot of stress
One of the reasons this car is so cheap! A beautiful 2017 with 80,000 miles, $12,000. It looks brand new: $12000! Thank God for this video! I'm almost stupid enough, now to do it! Flushing the transmission, looks just as complicated! If they agree with my terms, I will purchase this mess of a vehicle. I might get assaulted, from a battery thief, for this complicated place!
Brand new 2017 Dodge Journey base went for as low as $11,995 newspaper ad sale price.
My god !! I just got a 2017 ..i think i would've said no to this if i knew where the battery was. Not cool
Same here!! Just bought mine 4 months ago too and had I known this... Wouldn't have done it :( Sad. I like doing the work on my cars but this is such a pain
yes it IS a stupid place for the battery, but once past that, I had to have an AGM and the only one I could find in Canada in group sizes 26, 75/86 was an Odyssey for almost $500cdn plus $100 shipping. There were many other sizes at around the $200-50 range, but not the one I needed for OEM measurement's of 9 1/16" L x 6 13/16 W x 8" H.
So I found a group 35 that would fit perfect, BUT it's a right hand positive, and Journey's need a left hand positive. I thought of buying it and just turning it around, but this one had downward indented posts and I didn't think the add battery monitor on the ground would clear it enough. Then I found a group 34 at Canadian Tire with very close measurements of 10"L on the bottom, 6 3/4" W and 8" H. I had already measured the battery tray and figured it would work, so I bought one. In the end it took a "little" bit of adjusting, but I got it in nicely! I had to remove the battery handle and sheer off the holder for it on the ground side. Then I cut the rounded corners off the battery tray with a grinder in seconds, painted the bare metal and the battery fit in perfectly. The only other issue I had was getting the battery in WITH the top holder in place already (couldn't get it in after). So I tied a string to it from above and held it there in place while I put the battery in it's place. The battery terminals were never an issue as I found a nice place to push the positive one up in place out of the way and it held both of them up out of the way very nicely :)
Decent video... Dodge pooped the bed on this one!
This video alone has convinced me that it's time to trade in my Journey 😕
That is NOT how you remove those clips. Thr are reusable. Use a flathead to pull out the inner piece then pull the inner piece out by hand. Then pull the outer piece out.
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful doing this today on my wife's 2018 Dodge Journey.
My wife’s Journey sitting next to my Grand Prix GTP is quite the contrast. Makes me love my old car that much more. The Journey gives me anxiety just looking at it because guess who has to fix that over-complicated headache?
In Canada I needed more cold cranking amps so I unbolted battery holder from frame and ground off the rounded sheet metal corners. This I was able to size up the battery size and stiill fit in battery tray
Thanks This video really inspired me to go ahead and complete the job at first it was quite intimidating but you help me get through this. Thanks a lot you even inspired me to post a little video of my own. Stay tuned. Thanks again bro.
I have a 2017 Journey and have a check engine light with error code for an exhaust leak. Do you happen to have a diagram of the hoses or a video on how to repair
Thanks so much for your videos! This is the 2nd one we’ve followed & they are always spot on & so helpful! It was a pain, but thanks to you, we got it done! Thanks again!! 😊
Thank you my slovac brothers.
thanks .good show guys
Thx for that Video. I did the change today on a Fiat Freemont (Diesel, 2013).
What a .......
Ok, i have to say: i'm not good in such things, but i saved about 250-350 Euro by DIY.
For all those want to use a Optima Battery -> take the Optima RT S, not the Optima RT U. Otherwise the "battery holder" will not fit that good.
I used to work for an airport FBO and frequently talked to GM and Chrysler head engineers flying on the company's jet. They were very close to sealing the hoods for dealership servicing ONLY and going to 24 volt systems.
Slowburn TM This sounds about right because all I can think of when I watch this video is cell phone batteries (some) not being replaceable because everything is sealed and consumers fighting for a “right to repair.” I have been convinced by this video that this something I don’t need to mess with.
Lol Fuck them I'll still service it because im cheaper.
Thanks u
thank you for the help video, i did break the negative terminal battery sensor but found one on amazon for 50$, thanks again, very helpful
Thank you so much! 👍🏽👍🏽 I followed your video. So valuable, very precise and detailed with extra tips like putting the tire under the car, etc. are highly appreciated. I’m not a pro so it took me two hours.
I cannot stop watching this great video Thank you again!
As a owner ....a Dodge ....the car designers had their heads up their butts ....my granddaughter thought it was wrong.....she is only TEN ..anyone with common sense work there yet.
Great instructions and camera angles. Thx
Thank you
Wd40 the plastic rivets helps alot.
Hello, super video. What type of battery is there?
My battery is dead and my key not working so I have to recharge battery now will be easy to open ones I recharge battery from there is good reason why they put the battery right there ! thanks guy love from mexico
Thanks guys, helped out a ton!
Saved me $160. Thanks guys
one of the worst positions for a battery I have ever seen great video thanks
Excellent video guys. Thank you
Great video 😊
According to the makers of this car ,it should only be done by professionals. Great job and video guysi appreciate this.
isnt this soppose to have some sort of memory saver hooked up for this process at least thats what i heard
Crystal Brown It’s recommenced you should always use a memory saver when taking out/replacing a battery, just to keep all the electric current flowing. Only mechanics really do it, no one wants to spend money on a memory saver just to use it every 4-5 years
@Eliza t did you lose memory
Of course! Can you imagine what that would cost???? The place where we bought our battery said, we don’t install those. My husband said, yeah, tell me about it!!! 🤦🏼♀️
This is a great video. Keep up the good work! Thanks
Wow screw!!!! Dodge for this one!
They have so much room to do this bs is a true sign that they hate there customer's
😂😂😂
I have got Dodge journey 2018. I suffered of electric drops in the car. When l leave star ingin for 2 days, battery loses charges. Please give advice.
complimenti ragazzi, sempre eseguendo un ottimo lavoro. grazie
I just got done doing this to my Dodge journey the other day😅
Good ole dodge engineers,they will run their own balls across broken glass just to make a job harder than it has to be.
This video saved me $200. Thank you for that. Eff Dodge and this bullshit design
Thank you for showing us how
What the size of the battery? In different sources it varies from 232 to 273 sm
thanks, from Colombia South America, wonderfull
Good job guys.From Calgary.
Great video helped me a lot thanks 👍🏾
Great video, but rather than twist the hold down out at the front of the car, use a coat hanger to hold it up after you remove the tie down bolt.i just snaked it through the top and tied it off on hood bumper. I struggled trying to twist tie down in for 30 minutes, gave up and removed battery again to put tie down in place with coat hanger.
Qué clase trabajo, a quien se le ocurrió poner ésa batería ahí
Un pendejo
Jaja amigo estoy pensando lo mismo !!
Anti seize compound on the battery clamp would do you a huge favor it stops oxidizing seizure always.
Thank you! I follow all your instructions, when i went in my car the lights were on, when i press start button all the power shut off.
We tried jumping the battery, the lights come on but can't start the engine. Either we bought wrong battery, or the clamps on + - were not fully clamp down. Will try again tomorrow
I just tried replacing my battery and the exact same thing happened. I thought it was a blown fuse at first and checked the fuses but they are good. Can you tell me what worked for you? I rather not go through the whole process again, to check the clamps, if I can help it. Thx.
@@maxmah2604 I'm sure you guys figured it out but the clamps have to be down good and tight. Happened to me. The positive it's easy to do this but not the negative. Gotta make sure it's down tight tight and then tighten the bolt tight and you should be good to go.
My dodge journey 2015 I replaced the alternator 1 month later sometimes battery saving mode comes on dash and steering wheel is little bit hard the battery saving mode comes on dash like 4 times a week when I turn of car and turn on again everything works battery saving mode disappeared....
Does this means my battery is bad. ? Please help thank you !
I love my journey but I wish my battery was in a better place still better than some gas guzzlers
What size battery do we need? I have to do this for my dodge journey.
Do you need a memory saver for replacing the battery on a 2015 dodge journey
I love my journey crossroad AWD, but, I I knew about battery place before but it, probably not buy the car, is the worst design error that I see
Can we just remove the battery like this? I thought we had to use the OBD II memory plug in before, we removed the battery?🤔 If so then my whole life was a lie.
Just had an emergency i go to open the hood and no battery!! I hook up the cables to a bolt and red terminal and no current running through the cables..i was going like crazy looking for the buttery and me with no tools... After seeing this i had to pull off a part of the panel where the battery was and jumped cables like that. 3hours in the rain.. Only me
Love these guys
like your vidios you explain well
Could you give the solution of why the dashboard does not turn off when the engine is turned off
next video , the Bluetooth module fix
It drains the battery the replacement seems to be a pain.
Some just take out the fuse????
What do you suggest, are you familiar with the problem??
Thanks
Replaced the batter just like you did with a new battery. Battery won't stay charged for more than 1 day. Do I need to reset anything.
I've seen this on Dodge Stratus/Chrysler Sebring, this type of battery placement isn't new.
Hey guys just wondering if you have a video on how to change out the coolant tank and draining out the coolant. Thanks.
You definitely want to make sure you have a spill free funnel, it will save you a ton of time
Love your videos
Thanks for the video. The worst part was reaching the battery post bolts to loosen them to get the old battery out. As I imagined, the threaded bar and straps holding the battery in were all rusted and a nightmare to remove as well (and being down in the freaking wheel well why wouldn't they be!)!. This *itch took us over an hour (on a 16 degree day).
Hi buddy. Please especifications of battery. I have a journey 2.4 2014.
What a pain in the behind, the designers should be taken out and flogged. What should have taken 30 minutes to took 2 1/2 hours and more tools than necessary. I would recommend any Journey to not wait for the battery to get weak or fail and just replace every 3 years when you can schedule the time. I sealed up the wheel wells with silicone chalking which helps keep out water
Thank you for this video, i can replace my battery.
But why the battery sign is still on?
OK，the alternator is getting bad now

Hello you don’t have a video to replace a power steering cool return small radiator fin & tube style.
The fluid is leaking from the U tube that returns the fluid back in the radiator.
