Where is the fuse box located in an imported Jeep Compass?
2 Answers
Under the hood, on the right front side (in front of the steering gear). Below are specific details about the Compass: 1. Color options: The Compass offers 8 color choices - Bright White, Bright Red, Bright Black, Light Boulder Gray, Titanium Silver, Blaze Orange, Glacier Silver, and Slate Gray. 2. Powertrain: The Compass is equipped with a 1.4T FIRE Multi-Air2 engine that redefines power standards. With its innovative Multi-Air2 electronic hydraulic valve timing and lift full-time variable technology, it combines three major advantages: enhanced power, fuel economy, and energy efficiency. Despite its small 1.4L displacement, it delivers approximately 121 kW maximum power and peaks at 250 N·m torque at just 2500 rpm.
When it comes to the location of the fuse box in an imported Jeep Compass, I've been driving this model for over a decade. There's a main fuse box in the engine compartment, usually located near the lower left side close to the firewall. After lifting the hood, look carefully and you'll spot a plastic cover marked with symbols. There's another fuse box inside the vehicle, in the area beneath the driver's seat, near the knee position in a small storage compartment. You might need to bend down to feel around or use a screwdriver to open it. I recommend keeping the vehicle manual handy for quick reference, as the location might vary slightly depending on the year and configuration—for example, there could be a spare one hidden in the glove compartment on the passenger side. During routine maintenance, regularly checking these fuses can prevent short-circuit issues, especially since imported vehicles have more complex wiring. Dust buildup might cause poor contact, so simply clean it out but never operate with live wires to avoid electric shock. Safety first—knowing the exact location of this box can be lifesaving in emergencies, like when lights won't turn on or the car won't start. In such cases, cut the power immediately before checking.
