Holy hell! I have never owned a vehicle with more ridiculous issues, and in order to fix said issues you have to be magician and a contortionist in order to TRY to fix them. Thank you for posting this video, I would probably have turned 80 yrs old by the time I found it! That or my patriot would've have been stripped sitting on cinder blocks! More likely the latter! Thanks again!!!

lol, I fix the right side headlamp that stopped working, then the horn stopped working. I fixed the shifter which needed a new bushing, then the transmission would pop out of Drive. I fixed that and noticed that someone removed a relay and wired up directly like mechanics have been doing for years. The only good news is after I repaired that and 2 other grounding pigtails that had a few ground wires corroded off, I did a Fault Code Scan and the ''Check Engine Light'' finally turned off. 1 good thing happened this week... Cool.... I was running out of hair to pull on.....

Had to dig into a non-start pb on a 2008 Patriot (found corroded start relay). This box is easily accessible by the top to change/test relays, its located just below the DS headlight. However if you have to remove it to repair the wiring then go by the fender.

I "fixed" and reused the original. It was not only the relay pin that was corroded but also the female receptacle in the relay box that was crumbling in dust. So I opened the relay, cleaned the internals and soldered a 6" wire in place of the corroded pin, I then then drilled a hole through the relay box socket where the corroded female receptacle was, passed the wire trough this hole which allowed to put the relay back in its socket with the wire comming out from the bottom of the box. I then simply connected this wire to the ones originally going to the corroded female connector. Worked like a charm, and still does. All this from the top (remove battery first, relay box below can unclip from the frame, pull up). YMMV :-)

@Mike Fedor. Hi Mike, I have a 2010 Patriot. By chance do you know which relays are inside this relay box? I've managed to get the christmas tree lights (AKA Instrument Cluster) to stay off, with only one exception. The 4WD! Warning Light, which pops on at around the 1.0 mile mark. Now I was able to drive 2.5 miles yesterday after I took apart a Ground Pigtail (Located on the ''Top Left Side'' of the ''Front Clip'') that had really corroded wires that probably weren't making good contact, if they were even making contact at all. At any rate, I've had the usual ''Right Side Headlight'' that stopped working, along with the ''Brake Light'' going on & off almost every time I drive the Jeep. Those 2 issues were solved by taking the ''Ground Pigtail'' off the body, just across the ''Front Lower'' side of the engine where the ''Lower Pulley'' is located. Just one last FYI issue I'd like to share with you & any Jeep Patriot/Compass owner who watches this video. The ''Air Bag'' Light was always lit whenever I drove the Jeep. Believe it or not, by ''Unplugging the Front Passenger Power Seat Harness'' & Plugging it back in, that warning light hasn't came on since I got this Jeep back in October, 2019. Strange but it worked.... Back to the ''Relay Box'' that's located on the ''Lower Left Side'', just below the Left Marker/ Blinker Light assembly. For some reason finding a KZitem video on what these Relays control on the vehicle. Any help or a site that would have the Relay information, with or without Schematics would be really helpful. Great video by the way. Thanks, Dan

My 4WD! light comes on every time I start to drive my 2010 Patriot. Along with that warning light coming on, the 3 lights come on too. The ABS, Traction Control & 4WD!. I'm thinking that the relays may be corroded and tripping those lights to come on.

@@mikefedor78 Thanks Mike, I actually have the hood up as we speak & found it I remove the TIPM & unplug the rear harness & wiggle the wire to the 4x4 fuse, that ''4WD!'' light wouldn't come on each time I start & drive the vehicle. Wasn't until the 4th time driving before the light came on, so I have a bad spot inside the red w/white stripe wire which goes to the 4wd. As for the speed sensors on the rear, I just got int 2 new wheel bearing hub assemblies because the ones on now are totally rusted on the inner side & the sensors broke off. I'll install the new assemblies today. I ordered 2 new speed/ABS sensors & will install them since they could be bad & for $35 it's not an issue.

@@mikefedor78 Mike, After I fixed the issue with the relay box (One had corrosion all over it so the previous owner had someone wire up that one relay directly. One of the wires wasn't attached so after fixing that and 3 ground pigtails, I checked and had 8 fault codes. I figured it was because I had did all that work on it. I cleared the codes and after 3 hours of run time and about a dozen starts, all i have left is the 4WD! light that comes on everyday I start the vehicle and drive more than a-1.5 miles. I'm looking at the TIPM now and wondering if I should take it apart to see if there's a bad relay in it. All the harness's are clean with no corrosion. Since I see that old ''Junk Yard Yellow'' on the side of this TIPM, maybe no one did a proper install and a hard reset then didn't allow the TIPM learn the system properly. One other thing i did see was the 4WD Lock on the console had a lot of corrosion on 1 terminal on the PCB...

I traced the wiring to the relay box, but a mechanic thinks I need a new computer. Everything else works fine.

Sorry I don't know the location of the relays. That's a terrible location for a relay box as it gets exposed to all kinds of bad weather, I'll never buy a Chrysler vehicles ever again and they should have had a recall on that poor location that caused so many problems for customers who spent there hard earned money on the poorly designed vehicles. The fuel pump relay I pulled was so corroded and green that I had to drill to holes in the box and wire it directly to the wires cause the receptacle plugs for the relay prongs were corroded so so bad!!...Bad location for a relay box!!

It actually might be the connector to the horn instead of your relay. The horn is right behind the relay box and there is a wire connecting to it. Unplug it and plug it back and try your horn again. Happened to me and all I needed to do was re adjust it and clean off the connecting point.
