Dodge Charger Bluetooth Issue Fix!!!

[@customurlforjason]

Thanks for making this, it was really helpful. I've been just dealing with the broken Bluetooth on my 2013 SXT until now! I pulled the Bluetooth module according to your instructions, which were great, and just cleaned the contacts with some WD-40 electrical contact cleaner, dried it all out with my air compressor then plugged it all back in. I turned the car on and let it run for about 10 minutes before I plugged the module back in. I did this while I was remounting the module. Once everything was plugged back in, it all worked perfectly. If it fails again, I'll plan on replacing the module. Thanks again for helping with this nagging issue!

Update??

[@DmonDude]

I tried taking mine off and cleaning but still didnt work. I searched online but couldn't find one and I think a new one cost $500+. So a light bulb went off and I went to a local junk yard and found one on a 2012 Dodge Charger they had in their yard. It worked instantly. Thanks for the video!

Where did you find your replacement bluetooth module? I'm having the same issues!

[@ooger130013]

Thank you for this video. I had luck by disconnecting the unit, taking it apart and cleaning the circuit board, and putting it back together. Now it works! Although, the pairing did seem a bit stubborn and laggy, so I think the unit is going out. Just wanted to share in case anyone needs a temporary fix if they don’t have the money to buy a new unit.

Thank you so much. This is a great guide to get to the bluetooth module. Before I took it out I tried what another commenter suggested and pulled the #37 fuse in the trunk(there’s a handy plastic fuse pliers under the cover). That didn’t work for me. I lost Bluetooth as an option. Another commenter suggested cleaning the contacts on the module. I used an alcohol wipe and that worked. Now BT is working!

still work? after that cleaning

[@TheseoThinker]

@@inene8079 The ECU breaks down due to voltage surges when the battery is almost discharged. When it is about to break, sometimes by disconnecting the fuse it reprograms itself and works for a short time. I solved it by having it opened inside and repair two capacitors. Then I had it reprogrammed with the update provided by Mopar ( service buletin 08-055-17 REV. A GROUP: 08- Electrical DATE: September 15, 2017). In Italy with 80 euros. Bye.

[@michaelclarke647]

Before you buy a new module. Unplug module start car. Turn car off and wait 5 minutes with doors closed (sleep mode). Plug module back in start car and test. If module fails numbers do not need to be exact but close. 2011 - 2013 modules are interchangable. Edit: Most 2011 modules won't have text messaging

[@abrahampadilla7191]

What numbers have to be similar?

Hey what’s up I had the same problem my Bluetooth would not work i could not connect and could not adjust the Bluetooth settings I changed my battery and it fixed the problems with my bluetooth check your battery out make sure it’s good and the right size

[@dalewilliford3834]

I have a 2013 Dodge Charger RT and the Bluetooth module is built into the headset of the radio

[@sr8shoota]

before replacing try reflashing the module. I had this error and what fixed it for me was I found a German site for Journeys that had the same problem, basicly what you are doing is flashing the module like the dealer would. You do have to have some electronic, computer skills because you have to either get the connector or make one to connect the module to your computer. If your interested let me know, I am not the original person who camew up with this fix,hes the guy on the GErman forum. I do see people on youtube using his method and not giving credit. I am making this because I am trying to get let people know they can do this them selves and not pay some guy that stole the software.

I recommend wearing gloves when pulling the kick panel y'all. I managed to shave my finger like a potato. 😞

[@je845]

I had the same problem 2018 SXT Dodge charger just says Bluetooth initializing. With no end. The car has two fuse boxes one in the rear trunk with the battery and one in the front engine the fuse for the radio is number 37 cavity pull the fuse for 5 seconds plug it back in voila Bluetooth is working without any part replacement without any taking apart your dashboard. In fact it's working better than it ever worked. There was a delay in connecting the Bluetooth which is no longer there.I advise anyone against replacing the Bluetooth module before checking number 37 fuse in the rear trunk cavity, for the radio.

[@richiebricks4320]

Great video, I have a question. Is the module a sealed unit or is there screws to take it apart? The reason I'm asking is I work with and repair electrical boards all day and I'm hoping my module could be an internal simple fix. Thanks

it does have screws to take it apart man, i was thinking the same thing but i wouldn't know where to start

Yes you can take it apart. I would like to fix it as well if possible. Have you tried to fix it yet? Thanks.

I brought my Charger in for some repairs/maintenance and had this problem after picking it up from the dealership. It worked fine before. Could they have dislocated the connection to the Bluetooth module by accident?
