Default 2010 journey won't start

Our journey won't start. Tried the neutral trick, checked the IOD fuse, replaced the starter, new battery, tried another PCM, tightened all the grounds....any ideas? It ran fine last time it ran...next day, nothing just clicks.

Do you have the keyless FOB? Who is doing the work and troubleshooting on the vehicle? The dealer?

Limp mode. Dealer or shop is your best bet.

Thanks....we were wondering if we should try disconnecting the battery in case the computer is scrambled with all the work that's been done recently?

That's not a bad idea. Will reset everything. Can't hurt to try.
