Where is the fuse located in the Jeep Compass?
2 Answers
The fuse in the Jeep Compass is located in the fuse box under the left side of the driver's seat. The function of the fuse: When the circuit current exceeds twice the rated current of the fuse, it will blow within seconds to protect the circuit. Taking the 2021 commemorative edition Jeep as an example, its body dimensions are: 4669mm in length, 1865mm in width, and 1691mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2707mm. The 2021 commemorative edition Jeep features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 265 PS, a maximum power of 195 kW, and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Jeep Compass for several years. One night, the headlights suddenly went out, and I was in a frantic rush to find the fuse. Later, I figured out that the Compass has fuses in two locations. The main fuse box in the engine bay is on the left near the battery, and you can see a black cover marked with labels when you pop the hood. The auxiliary fuse inside the car is behind the glove compartment on the passenger side—you’ll need to open or remove the compartment to access it. The exact location may vary slightly depending on the model year; for example, newer models might have it tucked further inside. I always keep some spare fuses in the car for quick replacement in case of electrical issues. I recommend checking the manual's diagram first—unlike my experience that night on the highway, which ended with an expensive tow truck call. Also, always turn off the engine and ignition before checking fuses to avoid accidental short circuits or fires. Overall, knowing the fuse locations saves time and hassle, and it’s good practice to routinely inspect their condition.
