The issue was a blow radiator fuse that cost $4. My fan was not kicking on due to that. I Spent $23 total.

This helped a lot thanks! Exactly the type of SUV the ex has and yeah I’m not impressed with this vehicle-she bought it new with like 8k miles and the thermostat broke down at around the same mileage 89 thousand miles! I also hate that they put the battery in the wheel well, not the small trunk space that doesn’t even hold sh*t anyways or at least under the seat?!!

[@mightyprophet4581]

Am not even shocked lol And true you can actually relocate the battery if you wanted to not a hard job at all. Just not worth the time 😅

I hate this car so much

[@mightyprophet4581]

Is it okay to buy a used thermostat for 2016 Journey

[@mightyprophet4581]

@@Larry-ix9rx I don’t recommend a new one is not expensive at all

[@akirabenitez2078]

I was told these vehicles have two thermostats is that true? I have a 2016 dodge Journey 2.4

[@mightyprophet4581]

Technically yes the main/common 1 is what I replaced

[@akirabenitez2078]

Okay thank you! I’m having the same issue you described in your video. Last year I had to get the water pump and the thermostat housing replaced but the mechanic didn’t replace the second thermostat.. So I’m thinking it needs to get replaced, would I have to remove the whole housing to replace it?

[@mightyprophet4581]

@@akirabenitez2078 what I replaced I didn’t remove anything but the air intake box and upper hose. The whole housing would be same way other than a couple more screw and 2 small hoses

My girl had the plastic connection break that feeds the heat core. And blew fluid all over. I had to bypass the heater core due to no one having parts. Since then it will run warm when parked, then driving it goes back down to around 216-218, sometimes around 220. But today it wanted to run around 226-231 while driving . When stopped it went up to like 245. I’m thinking it’s my thermostat also but how do I know for sure.

[@mightyprophet4581]

Yea the thermostat should read no more than 220

[@USMCKoontz]

@@mightyprophet4581 someone at my work told me since I live in SC I can take the thermostat out and replace it later? You think I should change it out?

[@mightyprophet4581]

@@USMCKoontz that’s what I would do if u haven’t yet

[@USMCKoontz]

@@mightyprophet4581 I’m at work, thinking about removing it before I leave in the morning, then replacing it later tomorrow when I get home and can get to autozone or wherever

[@USMCKoontz]

@@mightyprophet4581 I replaced the thermostat and topped off my coolant. Has been perfectly fine since then
