If your Compass starts fine one day then cranks but does not fire the next, it may be a corroded contact on the relay board below the drivers side headlight. Remove the second relay from the back. Jumper the two large contacts. If the car starts, then you need remove the drivers front tire and the inner fender liner. remove the relay board and cobble a wiring repair. This video will show what I did to get it going.

Wife's rig started doing this last week on her 2015 compass , I ended up repairing and then after a 6 pack of beer had an epiphany and decided to extend the harness and moved the relays up to behind the battery to be sheltered from road salt and hopefully moisture lol

I like your jumper wire idea. I have new female pins coming in to replace the corroded one but your idea will get me going till the pins come in.

That White cover on that relay box comes off and you can clean that corrosion out really simple

Doing this same surgery. OEM part # from Jeep is: 68053218AA for $62. Any part store can cross reference the part number. Got the same relay from O’Reilys for $38 as of May ‘24.

Question for you about this amazing video. My 2011 Jeep Compass shuts down when driving. WHY? Crankshaft senor replaced battery replaced. Throttle fine alternator fine. Would it still be the Relay? Mechanic cant find the issue and its been a while now that he has had the Jeep I need it fixed like 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping its not the PCM. Also is this an easy fix? Thanks again for the fantastic video..

Work through the wiring in front of the drivers side front tire to see if there are any wires corroded off of the relay sockets. It can be replaced, I think but I was able to solder in some alternate wiring and it has lasted a couple of years now.

Worse place to put a relay block. Wife’s 2016 had the same issue. I put new relays in and soldered new jumper wires in and ran them back to the good wire. Ended up doing all the relays and wires because the whole block was shot. Notorious issue with the compass model

Any idea if the Compass with the 2.2 turbodiesel engine has the same placement of the ASD? It just dies on me on junctions and it struggles to start after the engine is warm. When cold, it starts right up ...

I think the relay box is in the same location, under the drivers side headlight. Have you changed the fuel filter?

Just wondering if those relays are interchangeable? Meaning can you use the fan relay for the auto shutdown relay and vice versa.

@4sl648 5 ай бұрын

Yes they seem pretty generic. I think i moved a couple around to verify it was not the relay at first.

@tonycastro6154 Жыл бұрын

WOW, THAT RELAY HAS A PURPOSE,,AND THAT IS TO KEEP YOU VEHICLE FROM CATASTROPHIC FAILURE,,,,WHAT YOU CAN DO IS ADD AN EXTERNAL RELAY TO TAKE OVER FOR THE DEFECTIVE ONE,,BUT BYPASSING LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A DEFINITELY NONO,,FIND A VIDEO FROM SOUTH MAIN AUTO REPAIR ,,HE SHOWS HOW TO GO ABOUT DOING IT,,,,

Hello! Just wondering how did you extract those pins out of the female slot? Mines had the same issue and i cant figure out how to get the pins out of the slot cause it snap pretty deep inside! Thanks.

@4sl648 Жыл бұрын

Mostly the pins and s9ckets were pk. One was corroded off. Thats the one i bent over the pin from the new relay where it wss corroded, and soldered the jumper tp that and wired around. I didnt have any of the sockets to replace.

@mykomodoc227 Жыл бұрын

So basically bent the pin on a new relay the other way? Sorry if i dont understand it right

@4sl648 Жыл бұрын

@@mykomodoc227 i bent the tab flat to 90 degrees so it didnt need to go into the corroded socket. Not a good plan but it was cold and rainy an i waa time pressured

In that case is it ok that the relay is sitting little bit high and not flush on the relay box?

How did you get the relay box to detach? I’m not seeing any bolts?

@4sl648 Жыл бұрын

It slides off of some plastic clips that go over metal tabs on the sheetmetal. I think there may be some plastic lock tabs that you have to depress to clear the metal. Youll have to feel around and see how it appears to attack to the metal. No screws
