The front fog light fuse in the Jeep Compass is located in the fuse box under the lower left side of the driver's position. Automotive front fog lights: Installed at the front of the vehicle slightly lower than the headlights, they are used for road illumination during rainy or foggy weather conditions. Since visibility is low in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight becomes limited. The yellow anti-fog lights have strong light penetration capability, which can improve visibility for both the driver and surrounding traffic participants, allowing approaching vehicles and pedestrians to detect each other from a greater distance. Most vehicle fog lights use halogen light sources, while some higher-end models may employ LED fog lights. Fuses: There are numerous electrical devices in automotive circuits connected by wires of different colors, among which fuses are the most critical component. Although commonly called fuses, they are officially referred to as circuit breakers in national standards. The function of fuses is to protect circuits and electrical equipment.
As someone who has been repairing cars for many years, regarding the location of the front fog light fuse for the Jeep Compass, it can generally be found in the fuse box in the engine compartment. That black box is usually located at the front left side of the engine bay. Unscrew the cover and check the internal diagram to accurately locate it, possibly labeled as 'FOG LAMP' or a similar name. The design varies slightly for different model years—for example, pre-2010 versions are mostly in the engine bay, while newer models may have it moved to the fuse panel under the driver's seat. Always turn off the engine and remove the key before replacing a fuse. Use specialized pliers to gently remove and inspect if the fuse is blown. If it's burned out, replace it with a new one of the same amperage. The operation is simple, but safety comes first—don’t forget to wear gloves. If the fog lights don’t work, besides fuse issues, it could also be due to aging wiring or switch failure. Regularly check the manual diagrams for prevention. I recommend beginners start with simple steps first and avoid reckless tinkering that could damage the car.
