2009 Journey power door locks will not work using the key fob or buttons on the doors , making it impossible to open rear hatch and quite difficult to manually unlock the rear doors by jumping through the front seats. The key fob still arms and disarms the factory alarm system and remote starts the vehicle.
I have successfully tried resetting the computer by turning the key on and off 3 times which did nothing but give me an emissions error code. I tried removing the battery cables (no LUCK there) And I did find a blown fuse for the locks but when I tried to replace the fuse it just caused my front washer fluid to spray out until i removed the new fuse (weird huh). any help would be fantastic

You say your having problems with the FOB unlocking the doors in your first post, then you say your not having any issue with the FOB's. You replaced a blown fuse for the door locks but then removed it because it caused the windshield washer to spray. Sounds to me like there are malfunctions related to this recall.
I would suggest going ahead and having the recall work performed and go from there.
