Problem overview

Some Dodge Journey owners report experiencing issues with their windows not lowering and tailgate doors not opening after a main door control change. These problems may be linked to the power door modular, which has resolved similar issues for some owners when replaced. Additionally, some owners have identified wiring issues or faulty window motors as potential causes of these malfunctions. Concerns regarding the electrical system, such as blown fuses or relay problems, could also contribute to the dysfunction. Furthermore, there have been reports of inoperative door locks and windows in Dodge Journeys manufactured between 2009 and 2020, raising safety concerns in emergencies. To effectively address these issues, it is recommended to inspect and potentially replace the power door modular, check for wiring problems, assess the window motor, and ensure the electrical system is operational. If issues persist, consulting a certified mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair is advisable.
