2012 Dodge journey car wont start without jump box.

Asked by Brandon Sep 17, 2020 at 08:42 AM about the 2012 Dodge Journey SE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2012 Dodge journey 2.4L. Wife's car died in parking lot at work. She used
the emergency Jump starter from work and it would get it running. As soon
as the cables are disconnected the car dies. I removed the battery to have it
tested and the battery is good. I also removed the alternator and tested that
both are fine. I Don't know what else could be causing this issue. Any help
would be appreciated.

scan for codes even if the light ain't on , make sure batt terminals are tight , once it starts it should stay running if the batt has a charge so that's weird , with the tech. over kill on modern cars who knows .
