Dodge Journey: How To Reset UConnect

If your Dodge’s infotainment screen or system is glitching or freezing out, don’t fret. Bad updates, overloaded memory, or temporary electrical issues can all cause the system to temporarily bug out.

Luckily, you can reset the UConnect system or the car’s electronics to remove the most common issues.

How to Reset UConnect in Dodge Journey

Ever since the second major release of UConnect, the system can be soft reset solely through the infotainment buttons on the console. You’ll need to turn on the vehicle, but it’s recommended to keep the engine off. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Press and hold the “Volume” and “Tune” buttons on the infotainment system.
  • Wait until the screen goes blank or displays the Dodge logo.
  • Release the buttons and wait for a bit.
  • The system should automatically restart, displaying the Dodge logo and other startup information.
  • You can now use the infotainment system normally.

For the oldest version of UConnect, it’s best to turn off the car, wait a few minutes, then turn it on again.

In newer vehicles, you can also find a second option for soft-resetting the system:

  • Press and hold the “Up” and “Down” arrows on the console (for climate controls). In some cars, you may need to press the “Phone” and “Mute” buttons at the bottom of the console.
  • Wait until the “Engineering Menu” shows on the screen.
  • Use the scroller on the screen to go to “Reset to factory settings.” You can also choose to reset the radio (“Reset radio”) only if that’s your primary concern.
  • Select the option on the touchscreen, then hit “Yes” to confirm.

This option won’t work if the screen itself is unresponsive, but it completely removes previous settings and updates that may be messing with the system.

How to Reset a Dead Infotainment System

If the entire infotainment system is unresponsive and the screen is completely black, then it may have blown a fuse or another electrical component.

The fuse box for Dodge Journeys is typically located under the glovebox. It has a lid that opens by hooking one finger into the gap and pulling. The lid should also have a printed or etched fuse box plan inside.

You need to replace the 10A fuse in the second row of fuses (second on the right). Turn off the car before pulling the fuse and check it with a multimeter to ensure it’s actually blown. Consult the fuse plan on the lid or the owner’s manual to ensure you’re replacing the correct fuse.

If the fuse is not blown, put it back into the box and try to start the radio system. If that still doesn’t work, you may have a deeper electrical issue that warrants a professional inspection.

Reset the System by Draining the Car

As a last resort, you can remove the battery for the car and drain its electricity to hard reset the UConnect system:

  • Open the hood.
  • Remove the cables from the battery (starting with the negative).
  • Honk the horn or turn on the headlights to drain the battery completely.
  • Wait for a few minutes.
  • Reconnect the battery cables (positive first this time).
  • Start the car and check the infotainment system.

What If the Screen Is Different?

In some cases, resetting the system will change how your infotainment screen and options look. That’s because factory settings will likely revert UConnect to an older version with a different UI. Typically, leaving the car alone for a few minutes with an active internet or cellular connection will prompt it to download the latest UConnect version and fix the issue.

If this doesn’t happen, navigate to “Settings” on the screen and select “Software Update.” This option has been relocated on the display a few times on different UConnect versions and may also be named differently depending on the version. You can typically find the current version number at the bottom of the screen while the system boots. Check the UConnect website for the operating manual for that specific release.

This absolutely did not work

Doesn’t work

Same, did not work on my radio

My Dodge Journey Uconnect still down or no operationnal

It should be in your manual.

I have my manual and it says nothing

Did not work and this is very frustrating

did not work for my 2013 dodge journey sxt still can’t connect to bluetooth very sad

How do I preset radio station in 2015 dodge journey

Tried to reset my uconnect but the procedure I found did not work. Still uconnect is unusable. Haven’t been able to use my unconnected for over 2 years and yet Dodge wants to charge me over $200 to fix it because it’s supposedly the module. Dodge should add this problem as a defect. Angry, frustrated 🤬😡

I agree, we pay a lot of money for these options and I am tired of the vehicle industry just washing their hands of their responsibilities to their clientele.

I sold my 2019 dodge charger after 6 months because of this issue, I drive to much for something so trivial to irritate me every single day. Took it in multiple times to get it fixed and the dealer couldn’t/wouldn’t fix it.

That’s hilarious. Up here in Canada it cost me over $1000 to replace. Then it went out a couple of months later.

My 2015 Journey crossroad’s uconnect will not come on after I start the vehicle until a few miles down the road. this happens mostly during cold weather; vehicle is garage kept.

I found a loose connection in the back of my 8.4 uconnect screen that was loose which caused it not to come on or sometimes go out and back on. I pulled all connections apart sprayed some electrical cleaner on them and replaced the connection, haven’t had any more problems sense. Search on You-Tube for instruction on how to remove the device.

I NEED A “HARD” RESET!!! NOBODY GETS THIS??? WILL NOT WORK AFTER FIRESTONE REPLACED BATTERY!!!

Uconnect is GARBAGE. It got corrupted during the update process! NAV never worked since.

Same for me. Don’t know what I can do now, feel certain it’s software not hardware!

I have follow the steps but my dodge journey sxt 2016 uconnect is not connecting

2016 Dodge Journey USB works with IPOD, but not bluetooth. Smartphone connects to Uconnect via bluetooth with no problem, weird thing is, my 2013 Dodge Avenger has no problem via blue tooth with smartphone or Ipod.

I got my self a aux/bt wireless connector / adapter that I plug on the aux input under the armrest with USB power connect my phone and there we go.. Bye bye frustration go away.. Costs me 8 bucks…

I bought a rt model in germany not long ago, the same, total crap, I read everything possible, even about fuse 131,128, total shit, as written above, software sucks from 2012 to 2016 unconnect crap,

Well I have no hope now, having g same problem, I’m not paying for the to fix this bs, guess I just use my bt speaker in car smh

Dodge Journey Radio Stopped Working: Causes + How to Fix

Dodge Journey Stereo Not Working

Has the radio in your Dodge Journey stopped working?  If so, there are three common causes for this issue .  They are a blown fuse, loose or corroded wiring, and a problem with the radio itself.

If your radio comes on but isn’t working, this article will cover that too: Please jump to the section that’s applicable to your vehicle.

Dodge Journey Radio Not Working

Table of Contents:

Radio Won’t Work At All Causes

The radio is on but no sound, common questions.

The most common reason for a radio to stop working in a car is a blown fuse.

This section covers a Dodge Journey’s radio would show no signs of life. If your radio is lighting up, but no sound is coming from the speakers, head down to the next section.

Cause 1: Blown Fuse

Dodge Journey Radio Won't Work at All

Always start with the simplest and easiest potential cause first, which is the radio fuse. You’ll need to check the fuse box to see if the radio fuse is blown.

How to Test a Fuse

Step 1 : You’ll need to your Dodge Journey’s fuse box location .  On most makes and models, it’s to the left of the driver’s seat (when you are behind the steering wheel).

Step 2 : Once you access your vehicle’s fuse box, you’ll need to locate the radio fuse . You should see a schematic printed on the door.

Step 3 : Test the fuse .  There are two ways to do this. First, you can visually inspect your Journey’s radio fuse.  There’s a wire between the two prongs.  If the connecting filament is damaged, power can’t reach the head unit, and the fuse needs to be replaced. 

A better way to verify a fuse is functioning is to use a test light . This can be accomplished without even pulling a fuse.  Here’s how:

2017 dodge journey radio reset

Start by finding a good ground source on your Journey to ground the test light to. You can usually find one inside the door jam that will reach the fuse box.

Next, turn the key to the accessory position, and touch the test light tip to both prongs. 

If it only lights up for one prong, the fuse has failed, and you’ll need to replace it. If both sides light up, the fuse is fine.

Cause 2: Wiring Issue

2017 dodge journey radio reset

If your Journey’s radio fuse checks out, it’s time to determine if there’s a problem with the wiring harness going to the radio system.

Verify that your vehicle’s radio has a solid ground connection.  Use a multimeter to verify the voltage level is accurate.  Any issue with the wiring harness will prevent power from getting to the radio system and cause the fuse to blow again.

Cause 3: The Radio Itself

If there’s power going to your Journey’s radio, and you’ve verified that the ground connection is good and it has power, the only way to get your car working is to repair or replace it.

Cause 1: Broken Antenna

When the tuner is on, there will be static. The CD player or Aux input should still work fine .

A broken antenna is one of the most common issues that cause your Journey’s radio to stop working.  Antennas are reliable,  but they can weaken and eventually break entirely over time, mainly if you frequently utilize drive-through car washes.

If you suspect this might be the problem, check to see if your vehicle’s antenna is in good working condition (is it bolted on?). If it isn’t, then you should replace it.

Cause 2: Anti-Theft Mode

If your vehicle’s stereo is coming on and says to “input radio code, ” you’ll need to find.  Most vehicles come with a card where the number is recorded or written inside the glove box on a sticker. Sometimes it’s printed on the back of the owner’s manual.

Some manufacturers will let you look it up online if you need the code.  If that doesn’t work, you can take it to the dealer and have them pull it. Here are all the ways you can look up your Journey’s radio code.

Cause 3: CD Player or Aux Button Has Been Touched

If your Journey has a CD player or aux button and it was recently touched, then your radio may be stuck in that mode. 

You can test this by attempting to connect another device, such as an iPod, to the car’s audio system. If it works, then there is likely an issue with the radio itself.

In this case, you should take your Journey to a professional for repair or replacement.

Does the radio stop working when you crash?

No, your Dodge Journey’s radio should not stop working when you are in a car accident. If it does, then there may be an issue with the wiring or the radio itself (wiring short, blown fuse, no power, and ground connection).

You can check to see if any of the fuses in your vehicle have blown, and if they haven’t, then you should look for loose or corroded wiring in your electrical system.

One of my Dodge Journey’s speakers isn’t working.

The speaker could be blown.  But, you’d likely hear a static sound from the speaker.  It’s more likely to be caused by a damaged speaker wire.

If one of your Journey’s door speakers isn’t working, the most common location of the short will be where the harness enters the door (since it moves).

How to Reset Uconnect 4.3 Dodge Journey: Master the Art of Refreshing

If you own a Dodge Journey equipped with the Uconnect 4.3 infotainment system, you may occasionally encounter issues that require a reset. Resetting your Uconnect system can help resolve various problems such as frozen screens, unresponsive controls, or connectivity issues. In this article, we will guide you through the process of resetting the Uconnect 4.3 in your Dodge Journey.

Steps to Reset Uconnect 4.3

Before you begin the reset process, ensure that your vehicle is parked and turned off to prevent any accidental actions and to ensure your safety.

Step 1: Press And Hold The Mute And Phone Buttons

Start by locating the Mute and Phone buttons on your Uconnect 4.3 system. These buttons are typically located on the bottom row of the unit’s interface. Press and hold both buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds.

A black screen with white text will appear, indicating that the system is entering the Engineering Menu. Keep holding the buttons until the Engineering Menu is fully loaded.

Step 2: Navigate To The Master Reset Option

Once the Engineering Menu is loaded, use the touch screen or physical controls to navigate through the menu options. Look for the “Master Reset” option and select it. This option may vary slightly depending on the software version of your Uconnect system.

Step 3: Confirm The Reset Process

After selecting “Master Reset,” a confirmation message will appear on the screen. Read the message carefully, as the reset process will erase all stored data and restore the system to its factory settings. If you are certain that you want to proceed, confirm the reset by selecting “Yes.”

Keep in mind that the reset process may take a few minutes to complete. Avoid turning off the ignition or disconnecting the power during this time.

Step 4: Wait For The Reset To Complete

Once you confirm the reset, the Uconnect system will begin the process. You will see a progress bar displayed on the screen, indicating that the reset is in progress. Wait patiently for the reset to finish.

It’s worth noting that during the reset process, your Uconnect system may reboot multiple times. This is normal and part of the reset procedure. Avoid pressing any buttons or interrupting the process.

Step 5: Reset Successfully Completed

Once the reset process is complete, your Uconnect 4.3 system will automatically restart. You will now have a freshly reset Uconnect system, which should help resolve any issues you were experiencing.

Remember to set up your preferences and connectivity options according to your needs after the reset. This includes pairing your smartphone, configuring audio settings, and any other personal preferences.

If you’re encountering problems with your Uconnect 4.3 system in your Dodge Journey, performing a reset can often help resolve these issues. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily reset your Uconnect system and get it back to its optimal functioning state.

Remember to exercise caution while performing the reset and avoid interrupting the process to ensure a successful reset. If you continue to experience issues with your Uconnect system even after the reset, it’s advisable to contact your authorized Dodge dealership or consult the Uconnect support for further assistance.

Uconnect Hard Reset Procedure | How to Reset Your Uconnect

While infotainment systems can be a massive benefit to today’s drivers, running into problems with this technology is all too common. Thankfully, there are a few easy things you can try at home to get your Uconnect system working again. Uconnect infotainment systems are found in all vehicles manufactured by Chrysler. That includes Dodge models as well as vehicles from Jeep and Ram. Take a look at the steps below to learn more about figuring out which version of the system you have, and finding the right directions to reset your version of Uconnect. If you’re unable to go through with the reboot, we encourage you to get in touch with some vehicle electronics experts to figure out the next steps to get your system back up and running as intended.

Finding Out Which Version of Uconnect You Have

There are many different versions of Uconnect out there, and it’s important to find out which version you’re working with before you attempt to do anything. Once you figure out which version you have, you’ll be able to look up specific instructions on how to restart the system. If you try resetting the system without knowing which version you’re working with, things can get confusing very quickly. With just this small amount of research, you will have a much easier time getting your infotainment system to work once again.

Search for Your Version – Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler Models

The easiest way to figure out which version of the system is in your vehicle is by looking up your model, model year, and trim level. For example, you might be driving a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie. If that’s your vehicle, you can quickly find out that you have the fourth generation of Uconnect. Simply go to your preferred search engine, enter in your vehicle details followed by “Uconnect version,” and you should find the right information. Once you know which generation of the system you’re working with, you can look up the exact steps on how to reset it. In the following two sections, we’ll provide details on the latest Uconnect system – the fifth generation. If you need help with an older version, feel free to get in touch with us for assistance, or keep an eye out for additional guides on older models.

Uconnect Hard Reset Procedure

Soft Reset Steps

Before attempting a Uconnect hard reset, we recommend trying a soft reset. This will allow you to keep all of your saved data in the infotainment system, and can still take care of many problems that the technology encounters. In order to do a soft reset , first head to “Apps” and click on “Vehicle.” From there, go to “Settings,” and then down to “Reset.” There should be an option there that says something along the lines of “Soft Reset.” Click that, and voila – your system will restart itself. Give it some time, and hopefully, everything will start working as normal once again. If this doesn’t work for you, a hard reset will be the next thing you’ll want to try.

Hard Reset Steps

When you’re ready to attempt a hard reset, you’ll follow the same steps as above. Get to the Vehicle app, make your way into the Settings menu, and once again click on Reset. This time, you’re going to want to click on the “Factory Reset” option. The system will likely ask if you’re sure you wish to do this, so go ahead and confirm. Just be aware that you will lose all of your saved settings, and will likely have to re-pair your phone to the vehicle. Once you confirm, you’ll again need to give the vehicle some time. It may take a little longer than a soft restart, as the entire system is wiping itself clean to return to its factory settings.

When it is through, go ahead and attempt to do the things you would normally do with the system – play some music, set your phone up, and if there is a navigation system, give it a try. Hopefully, everything works correctly. If not, it is time to think about taking your vehicle to some experts, or possibly even think about replacing your system with an aftermarket upgrade. Whatever you decide, make sure to try both of these restart procedures first, and we’ve found that they can fix the vast majority of problems people run into with their infotainment systems.

Uconnect Hard Reset Procedure

Search for a Replacement System

If all else fails, it may be time to start shopping around to find a replacement for your Uconnect system. There are countless options out there, many of which are very easy to install and could even offer more features for your vehicle. Shop around at your favorite electronics store, online or in person. If you’re not sure exactly what to look for, consult with a professional, such as your regular mechanic or a salesperson at one of these outlets. They’ll be able to point out the infotainment system that best meets your needs, and fits within your budget. If you need any recommendations or are looking for a team that can install your next system, Ultimate Rides is here to help. We’re located an hour south of Chicago, and we specialize in customizing and upgrading vehicles for clients all across the globe. Give us a call soon and we’ll be happy to help.

Picked mine up yesterday and it’s super buggy. Freezes, doesn’t allow changing of the screens sometimes, changes pages on its own during phone calls, and flashes to a blank screen out of nowhere. Heard great things about it being fast too…. My system in my 2017 was smoother.. maybe it needs an update but 1st impression is not good. My 21 I could split the screen as well and have apple car play up top for nav and Sirius on the bottom half. Can’t find a way to do that yet.. hope my experience gets better

Waiting for my 2022 to arrive and thought I would ask about the SIRI function. Basically can it be disabled completely?

Need to check my software version now. Found UC5 to be very buggy. Nav through CarPlay stops, screen flickers between different displays and when on a call it will change the audio between car speakers and phone audio as it chooses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ram needs to make the APP more AFFORDABLE. This is the worst part of the truck. I can go to pretty much any other auto manufacture and get there app for free, if its not free, i get all the functions of the APP for cheaper then Rams Cheapest plan. It is very frustrating and ruins a lot of the tech that is on these trucks because we cant use it past the trial! I am not going to pay $30 a month for this crap, because that is how much they want for it in Canada for a fully loaded plan. Like what are they thinking? This needs to CHANGE!

Found a way to reset 2017 Uconnect 8.4 without disconnecting the battery

2017 dodge journey radio reset

  • Add to quote

Found this info on Charger forums - to restart Uconnect 8.4 on 2017+ cars press and hold in the top right corner of the screen for 10 seconds, then let go - the system will restart in about 5 seconds after that. Can be used as a workaround for those annoying Bluetooth/USB glitches present in our cars. New 2017 Uconnect issues - Page 6 - Dodge Charger Forums The factory mode available on Uconnect up to 2016 is no longer working on 2017+ models. Resetting/restarting Uconnect on these cars is far from intuitive and dealership reps are clueless.

Dodge Journey Climate Control Reset: Step-by-Step Guide

Dodge Journey Climate Control Reset

The Dodge is one of the technically built cars with a wide range of advanced connectivity and infotainment features. The Journey climate control helps put a ride under check when you’re driving at a high freezing temp. Not only that, the climate control system also protects you and your vehicle from being exposed to extreme climate conditions. 

What Causes Dodge Journey climate control to malfunction

There are a couple of reasons your Dodge Journey climate control system may go bad. When the climate control malfunctions, one vent will release warm air while cold air comes out from another. There are other signs to look out for. 

When this notification comes on, the first thing that comes to mind is your car’s inability to balance its temp. This is dangerous because when its HVAC system fails, you may suffocate by heat or suffer from excessive cold. 

But what causes the Dodge Journey climate control to malfunction? Here are a few things to know.

A faulty AC Compressor 

Your car’s AC compressor is built to chill the cabin-bound air. However, when there’s a fault with the compressor, the HVAC system won’t function as it should.  

Debris-filed cabin filter

There’s a chance the cabin air filter is dirty and needs some cleaning. The filter usually takes debris and dirt away from your cabin may have been clogged. Normally, you should change the cabin air filter after 16,000-32,000 kilometers. If this doesn’t happen, the filter will become dirty, causing the climate control system to malfunction.

Clogged Condenser

Another reason the climate control system will fail is if the AC condenser is clogged. With time, the condenser will get dirty and will need replacement. As a result, the climate control won’t be able to regulate the in-cabin interior temp. What you should do is clean the condenser; you’ll need a certified mechanic to do a good job. 

Failed orifice cylinder

The orifice tube is another component of the HVAC system that can cause the Dodge Journey climate control reset message to pop up on your car’s instrument cluster. A replacement tube is the best fix, but make sure you allow a professional technician to handle it.  

You may also need to check if there’s a refrigerant leak. This occurs due to an air conditioner malfunction. All you need to do may be to recharge your AC, especially if you notice that the HVAC system releases warmer air over and over again.   

How to Do Dodge Journey Climate Control Reset

When you experience a malfunction in your Dodge’s climate control system, it’s not time to panic or get nervous. Instead, you need to follow this simple but detailed step-by-step guide to fix the issue. 

Troubleshooting a malfunctioning climate control can be tricky, especially if the reason for the issue is beyond the reasons above. 

For instance, a jumbled wiring harness or faulty blower motor can also cause the climate control reset message to pop up.

The first thing to do is to drive to a professional HVAC mechanic’s shop for a proper diagnosis. This should happen before a fix is applied. With an OBD scanner, you may detect an OBD trouble code. This might give you an idea of what exactly is wrong.   

Step 1: Pull over and allow the engine to cool

The first thing to do if you’re driving on a safe highway is to pull over by the shoulder of the road and wait for your car engine to cool off for about 15-30 minutes. 

Step 2: Turn the engine on again

Switch the car ignition on and allow the instrument cluster to display the reset message. This step may not be necessary if you’ve parked your car inside the garage for over 24 hours or more.  

Step 3: Change the cluster setting

Once the climate control reset message pops up, head to the setting of the instrument cluster to change it. Once you change the AC setting to ‘panel, the AC will force air with greater force to the upper blowers. 

Step 4: Press and hold control buttons

While staying with the central control panel, press and hold down the top and bottom buttons. The top button regulates the rear wiper while the bottom button controls the washer fluid in the rear wiper. 

Step 5: Allow the AC light to flash

While pressing and holding these two buttons, wait a few minutes to allow calibration to finish. During calibration, the AC light will begin to beep. Once the light starts to flash, take your fingers off the two buttons. 

Step 6: Wait until the AC light goes off and on

As soon as you release your hand off the buttons, the AC light will flash off and on before it starts to blink. As the blinking continues, press your finger on the AC button. 

There you have it! With these simple steps, you have successfully reset your Dodge climate control system. Once this is done, the AC system will start to work effectively. I won’t recommend a DIY procedure to fix this issue. 

Final Thoughts

The Dodge Journey has a competitive edge over many of its rival pickup trucks out there. Apart from its exciting on-road and off-road perks, this car offers a smooth ride and a comfortable cabin. You’ll experience a smooth ride as the climate control neutralizes the hotness or warmth of the   

A failed climate control system can cause the Journey’s temp to rise, leading to loss of connection and clear climate notification and control. 

If you arrest the issue in good time, you can reduce the insurance cost on your Dodge Journey’s insurance. I hope you’ll find this article a lot helpful.

Disconnect the negative terminal for at least /2 hour for radio issues. This should reset the radio. There is a small battery, so you shouldn't lose any of your presets.

I'm new here, searched and searched and searched for a topic likes this. And since I know nothing about forums I ended up on one for 'navigation' systems and it was kindly suggested I get off there and find the proper topic . So I'm very glad to have come across this one. I have a 2012 Journey and my touch screen also went blank. Exact same as jeffinva from the above posting. I see dhh3 has posted a suggestion in regards to t disconnecting the negative terminal for a 1/2 hour or so. Do you mean the negative post on the battery? Sorry if that seems like a stupid question but I'm kind of flying solo on this (and female) so want to make sure I have that straight. Jeffinva did you try that suggestion and did you have any results? Or what did you end up doing with your issue? Thanks!

Jeffinva posted once 6 months ago, doubt he is actively on the boards to answer your question. You can try disconnecting the negative terminal and see what happens. Use the jump terminal located on the strut tower in the engine bay. The actual battery is in the wheel well and tough to get at.

As a side note, do you have any warranty left? If so, my next step would be taking it to the dealer.

  • dhh3 and NavalLacrosse
You may speak for me, O Great One! Ha

HAha. Thanks for the levity you two. Jeffinva did you ever get your radio screen issue resolved? I'll get some help with trying the negative terminal and if that doesn't work will call the dealer.

Forget those telling you to disconnect the negative terminal- it’s a pain... remove the fuse for the radio  for half an hour... does the same thing and works like a charm...

Much easier for me to open the hood and turn a wrench than it is to try and contortion myself in order to see which fuse needs to come out from under the glove box. But, to each his own.

My screen is fully black after giving jump starts. I could not adjust fan speed, temp., A/C, etc. and the full screen is black. I tried pressing the CD eject button (even I dont have CD inside and I barely use CD) it turns the screen back and all other climate control functions back instantly. Worth a try

OhareFred

Did you check the fuse?  Maybe blew when you jumped it.  I blow a fuse for my drivers lighted mirror and Homelink installing a new Bluetooth mic.  Wires look fine but it blew anyway.  Since changed it’s fine.  Who knows what electrical gremlins live in these cars......???

... After giving jump starts? sounds like the car wont crank under normal conditions too? I give this advice more often than I should, 

(This  is the band-aid of fixes)

1) 30 minute reset:

Disconnect the Neg terminal where it bolts to the body, there is a lovely plastic holder FCA designed for this exact purpose of holding the Neg line away from the body. 

Let sit 30+ minutes, then plug it back in. Issue temperately solved?

(This is the 'what worked for me' fix)

2) Consider changing the Battery, before going crazy with the What-ifs? of the internet.

When the battery is anything less than 90% (figurative) health, the Electrical Gremlins show up- I'm serious. Everything from frozen, to totally off, touchscreens. (or volume knob that says 'time for max volume') wireless key warnings, Bluetooth failing to connect, the gauges at 140mph and 9k revs while the TPMS light is on.... all while the engine struggles to maintain even a foot-on-gas idle...and the stutters to death.... 

Took mine on a "what do i have to lose" trip to goodyear, and for $165 or so out the door I had a new battery and a car that's gone 30k miles without a single electrical gremlin.--- 

Mine's a 2011 Crew, with the 4.8" mini touchscreen.

Best of luck
