I have a2009 dodge journey it is running hot I changed thermistat don't know what else to do thanks Larry

 

Can any one tell me where the blend doors are located on 2009 journey and what to do thaNks larry

 

Do not know the exact answer to your question, but you started another thread regarding overheating, so I am combining these threads into one. As fas as overheating after changing the thermostat, what else have you done? Does the water pump check out? Have you flushed, refilled the radiator?

 

There is no heat in rear heater I have heat in front I haven't done any thing else I read forum some one had same problem it was blend doors I don't know any thing about them. Thanks larry

 

So it is still overheating after the thermostat change? How old is the coolant, What is the coolant level? Ever had the system flushed?


Blend doors are normally located under the front dash. These doors direct air to the front fllor, vent or defrost vents and are normally controlled by vacuum (some are electric, though). If the blend door is not working to direct air to the floor, dash or defrost vents I would check for vacuum leaks for a vacuum operated system or a blown fuse if electrical.

This is a different problem from the two stated above (overheating and blend door operation). The front and rear systems are separate except for the fluid/refrigerant. You have no heat in the rear. OK, do you have any air at all in the rear? I would check the fuses again.

 

I found the problem thanks for everything larry

 

Well don't keep the solution to yourself - add
to the forum knowledge base and tell us what
it was and how you resolved it.

 

Hopefully he will.

 

How frustrating when someone tries doing a google search to solve a similar problem to find an incomplete thread like this.....
