Now that we figured out in the first video https://youtu.be/vC-IpKkI4K4 why this Jeep Compass would not run it is time to come up with a solution to the problem. Let's see what we can do to fix it and get it back on the road. -Enjoy!

    Very helpful video. There is actually an empty socket in the relay box so I moved my mine into the empty socket. I depinned the the terminals that were still serviceable and inserted them into the empty socket and soldered a wire in to replace the bad wire. I was able to find an old relay box at a u-pull junkyard so I was able to even use the actual "daisy-chained" terminals from that. Entire repair was less than $10 including an old relay from the junkyard.

    Hello I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot it cranked but do not turn over I have changed that same box that have the corroded I saw you have jumped and it got it to start it can you let me know which two wire you jumped it I really appreciate it thanks

    Hats of to you, very nice video.

    This is therapy

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rochester Tommy says:

    I have a intermittent stall then crank no start but eventually starts. Throws a P0339 crank signal code. Wonderingโ€ฆ

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ray White says:

    The repair I just saw in this video what would something like that cost on this vehicle. Because I put a 2010 Compass and the shop Custom Car Care 15 Mile and Gratiot Clinton Township Michigan and they have a $500 wiring diagnostic.. they've already had my car almost 2 weeks which I've talked to a couple people there already and they put a new starter in starting out because they replaced a starter in it a few months ago for me they were checking it to see if any problems which it showed bad they replaced it. But still no crank no start. Then I went to the junction box according to the person I talk to oh, and he started to explain everything that I already told him about the corrosion at the junction box. So they ordered to release in the junction tight connection like this video shows I believe. But I still haven't heard back from him and spend a couple more days. But he told me I was still at the $500 mark whatever that means but I was curious with this kind of fix what would it total price I should suspect. If this is the way they did it. But I don't think they went through the wheel well I think they are doing it up top. I'll buy the headlight. Which I believe will take longer because you have to remove hoses to get to it I think. You don't know who to trust anymore. I would like to think I can trust them cuz I've been bringing my vehicles to them for some time now. But if anybody has any knowledge of this video what am I expecting Auto Repair like this one. On the no crank no start. Issue

    Great video

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Juan Casanova says:

    Great video thanks…it's awesome and clear…I just wished you mentioned the pin numbers transfer from factory to aftermarket relays and also color code wiring transfer. Other than this….great video. Thanks again ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Unadilla River Outdoors says:

    Just had this exact same issue with the wifeโ€™s 16 compass. Watched ur video and found the exact same relay had corroded prongs. Wired it up and we are back and running.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Archie Redman says:

    the Japanese would never build crap that way.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Archie Redman says:

    PS. Great,I mean great video.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MICHIGAN TOMMY says:

    My daughters 2014 Patriot is in a shop for this exact repair (as I write this). Any estimate on what I should expect to pay? Thanks and great video.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars motiv8PT says:

    Do you have a link where I could get the external relay and the materials you used? Also, is there a way to waterproof this as itโ€™s going back into that hole again

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Garrett mangrove says:

    I got the same problem moved the relay n still no gig n it aint the starter, so chasin wires tomorrow,, fml

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BreAnne Stretch says:

    Wish you were closer. My compass is acting up, blew a bearing in my alternator, got it fixed, then my catalytic converter replaced on a recall, then she started throwing battery light, got a new battery, worked for about a week, then battery light came back, daughter drove it to a soccer game, got stranded down the street, she will turn, but dies when you put her in gear, now trying to get her fixed, but haven't had the funds for 6 months. Everyone says just change the ECM, I can do some car repair, but not what you just did.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars juanpbs60 says:

    Man! Awesome i got the p0335 error code and remove and reinstall the starter relay and thats all! Haha it was loose

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bushcraft n Stuff says:

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pavel Rivera says:

    Can someone tell me the part number of the relay box?

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jordan Ripley says:

    Did this to a jeep like 3 years ago which was inspired by your first video where you diagnosed this and pulled a box from the junkyard to steel the pins

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stan Sheffler says:

    Great video. This is exactly what happened to my son's 2011 Compass. Don't think I would have ever figured it out on my own. Thanks so much for the video, so happy I ordered a shirt.

    Would you be able to tell me where the relay is for the starter on my 2019 Jeep Compass?? The dealership is saying if I pay $399 they can tell me๐Ÿ™„ needless to say Iโ€™ve had a TON of issues with my jeep within the last year. I decided to not let them fix it so now they wonโ€™t give me any info. Any info will help at this point. My car has been down since April 1st. ๐Ÿ˜”

    I have 2016 Jeep Patriot 2.0, I have the same issue (no spark), It has 116,000 miles, had a blown head gaskets, I changed the engine, I put 2007 Jeep Compass 2.0 engine in it has 91K different wiring so i replaced it with the carโ€™s original wiring the new engine has two temperature sensors and the original one has one temperature sensor; The engine cranking but wonโ€™t start?? I checked the relay box and itโ€™s good ??

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andre Barnett says:

    Wow that was beautiful

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Wood says:

    Does painless wiring offer any type of terminal connections for fuse / relay boxes??

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Reagan says:

    I think those wiring harnesses were built by Hyundai, that's where you might locate replacement pins for future reference.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 77chevy4x4 says:

    Was able to fix the terminal. Have power . Aftermarket rely . Hoping itโ€™s not a different type ..
