Fixed ! My problem was 2 wires short between ABS module and fuse box ( Top 2 wires on abs module connector, patriot 2011). Low voltage ( 11 and 2 v ). By pass both. Good 12 v reading now. All lights came off. Speedo and 4x4 control came back.
Thank you! Last year I changed a couple bad relays. And knew the box needed to be replaced but didn't. Kept giving me issues and some new ones. You reassured me about my thoughts for the problems.
I know this video is 4 years old, but I have a 14 compass, no warning lights, 4x4 light comes on when switched, but it’s not engaging, only front wheels are spinning. I know they usually run in awd and the switch locks it into a 50/50 split, but now it’s only driving the front wheels. I need some direction, what should I be checking for next?
I took your advice and got in that panel I find no corrosion in there but I've trouble shot to the plug underneath the wheel well skirt on the driver side
I got a jeep compass got abs fwd and traction control light on ran fine now all the lights are on and it will lose power and the 4wheel drive light flashes thanks subscribed
Awesome video brother 👍 So I have n 08 compass n the 4WD! is on. Earlier today I went 2 get some food n I heard a loud noise from underneath n it kicked, kinda came from the rear. Could this be bcz the 4wd! light is on? VSP also on. This is been nothing but trouble car... thanks for your time 🙏
I have a 2016 jeep compass. After getting stuck in snow, abs, traction control and 4wh lights came on. Now it acts as if tires are spinning when they're not. Ramps drop, almost to a stop and grinding from front. Any suggestion would be appreciated .
@@tawnymccullough7919 ended up being a speed control sensor located on the wheel. And had to replace barring. Go to an auto store that will put it on computer to check which wheel is the problem. Happened to another, only 2 more to go for me
sorry I have no clue. I would love to help do you know how many code definitions there are? I would have to guess over 10,000. I would be great to memorize them all. And even with the code it doesn’t necessarily tell me exactly what it is you have to go through a flow of diagnostic for that particular code to pinpoint the problem.. unless it just says a particular component then you can check for power blah blah blah
My mom just purchased a used 2012 Jeep compass and after having it for less than a month she had to replace the starter. That was close to $600. Now her ABS/ 4 wheel drive light is on and I can't get it to turn off. Is this an easy cheap fix bringing back to the mechanic who sold her the car? I know buying used cars is a gamble but she paid $8800 for it and less a month put an additional $600. Shes 69 yrs old and is a widow and I'm her daughter who doesn't know that much about cars so I thought I'd ask someone who would be straight forward and please try to give me an estimate on how much this repair would cost? I feel she gets taken advantage of and she by no means has extra $$ lying around. Thank u in advance if you reply. I appreciate it. Happy New Year!
What about 2015 Compass is it fairly uncommon for the relay/4x4/issues that would prevent engine cranking. Thanks in advance! I called a few shops and they all say it's not that common i live in NH so plenty of nasty weather.
Oh that will cause it to not run because I believe the relay is still in the same sockets I might be mistaken about that though you’re welcome Robert I’m not sure if that helps or not it’s been a couple of years since I worked on one but we greatly appreciate the kind words welcome to the channel
could these issues lead to the same with my 2008 jeep liberty sport...It had several lites on but speed sensor wheel bearing n ball joints took care of them...now it's jus my 4wd lite n it won't shift
I’m not sure if you’re having this problem that I described in this video. I would guess from what you’re telling me more than Likely your transfer case is stuck between neutral and drive. Maybe this video will help ruclips.net/video/rg9fKjq8OTE/видео.html
@The Clay Way. Clay, I did work on my 2010 Patriot a couple days ago. I did re-fix (lol) the relay corrosion issue and took apart 3 grounding pigtails. After all that, I thought that it would be a great idea to scan the jeep I erased all the fault codes after writing them down for reference. I'm not sure which repair did this but at any rate the check engine light (that was showing a fault code with a P0420) isn't on anymore. I was going to contact you on facebook but didn't see anyplace to post it....
Great video Clay, someone gave me a Jeep Patriot because they said the brakes mysteriously fail? It happens to me once under extreme braking but didn't completely fail? The thing did leak from the roof during rain storms through the rear view mirror? So maybe water got into that harness.
Absolutely water is getting in I do have a video on how to clean the drains out of your moonroof but if you open your moonroof just look at the four corners and you will see a little holes make sure that they are not plugged up
I took the kick panel of and found the pink wires. when you did the repair was the wiring all connected to each other? cause mine were twisted together and jumped with another wire to 1 pink wire.
Hey bud I got a 2007 jeep compass and my 4x4 light is on but if I shut the truck off then pull the 4x4 button up it works but if I dont use the 4x4 at all after driving for a few miles the ! 4x4 light comes on and it want engage until I shut off the jeep d turn it back on then it works would you think it's a bad 4x4 switch and would that keep my ! 4x4 light on
Hey i have a 2014 jeep patriot wont go into four wheel drive light comes on and says its in four wheel but it isnt any ideas of where i should start on this problem
Thanks. Havent got to open up the wires though. I currently have an issue where the 4WD drive indicator pops up with an exclamation randomly. Will taking out the AWD/4WD fuse temporarily fix the issue?
hey I just fix this problem on my jeep 11 compass. the horn is under the left head light. which is unprotected, my horn was full of water and wiring got corroded. to get there you have to take the wheel and panel off and you should see it
Thank you very much for sharing yeah I made video on that exact problem about two years ago so I’ve seen it and I know exactly what you’re talking about but that’s awesome for sharing God bless have a great day
Hi friend.I 'm from Russia , I have a Jeep Patriot 2016 from Canada .There is a problem 4WD does not work diagnostics showed error C145F A what to do???
@The Clay Way. Clay, my 2010 Patriot 4WD! light used to be on all the time but after I replaced a ground strap that was rotten, not it comes on at 1 mile. Every once and a while the 4WD!-ABS & ESP lights will all come on but that's one of those screwy problems caused by Jeep Engineers. I wondered if the 4WD! problem is under the hood. I did remove the panel inside the door and those pink wires had like 1/4'' thick poly around them like they were dipped into it and then dried, so I guess that area is okay...
Check underneath the fender of the driver side up towards the front down by the The bottom you will find a relay box with a cover on it and I guarantee you there is corrosion inside it.... and I do have video on that It’s also listed underneath my Jeep playlist
@@sharpcarco Thanks Clay, I just happened to look down inside the fender. What in the hell was Jeep Engineering even thinking when they decided to route the wires through the fender instead of through the inside of the cabin. Thank you Clay, I'll check it out. Great video btw...
Hello I have a light that's 4WD! and my 4wd dont work. I recent had someone steal my car and the whole front left tire was bent. Got it all fixed but after she had it the 4wd wont work. Do you know what's wrong with it?
Any ideas what would cause a patriot to get locked in 4x4? No lights on the dash and the 4 wheel lock button works (lights up and on the dash) but stays locked in 4x4
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem. I don'k think its the wheel speed sensors because the ABS and traction control lights are not on
2011 AWD Jeep Patriot acts like its. binding up in 2 gears, I can pull it forward slowly then it acts like it's trying to lock up, same in reverse, would it be transmission or transfer case
More than likely the transmission since you have a different problem in different gears. Sorry wish I could be More positive but that’s what it sounds like to me
channel locks etc to take off the nuts under the foot rest. trim panel can be carefully pried off with your hands or you can get a cheap trim panel prybar remover set
Jesus.. if any of you are having the abs traction control, etc lights coming on at random, do not waste time looking for old wires. Chances are, most of them are old and have some corrosion. Most of you need to replace your wheel bearings in the rear. The longer you wait, the worse it's gonna be. Stop looking for your saving grace on RUclips and just do it already.

Well, you just happen to watch one that didn’t have any bullshit in it… them are the best videos!!!

What was the issue
Thank you. I have an abs concern with my 08 patriot.
How do see the corrosion in the pink wires? At a connection point, or is the insulation bulged out?
Great , thanks for your help!
God bless you
Thank you!!
May he bless your day as well!

The scanner shows the code on the jeep patriot C146B and the 4wd lights up, what could it be

So we just clean the corroded wires or do we have to replace them?
No clean and repair them. Don’t have to replace the whole wire for a small portion that is bad just replace the corroded portions..
Thanks. Havent got to open up the wires though. I currently have an issue where the 4WD drive indicator pops up with an exclamation randomly. Will taking out the AWD/4WD fuse temporarily fix the issue?
Hi, i try to find your video when you fix the relay for abs but i couldn't find it, can you linked in a comment please, much appreciate 🙏
Is the horn relay down in the relay box in the front where the fan and A/C fan relay are located ? I have a horn not working problem
Hey Tex ( Love the name by the way) unfortunately I can’t say for certain but I do believe it is. Wish I could be of more help have a great day

Hey, Google says Clays ac and auto repIrs is permanently closed. Im looking for a honest shop in the grand rapid area.
That’s because Accurate Engines sponsors my channel and that is where my shop is at.

In the event that the wires are corroded, which wires would I need to buy?
You just buy a Roll of wire that is the same gauge and splice them in.
