Problem overview

Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing intermittent flashing lights, particularly when the vehicle is locked, which may indicate a problem with the Body Control Module (BCM). This malfunction can lead to erratic behavior, such as unexpected dash lights, chimes, and various warning lights illuminating on the instrument cluster. Additionally, BCM issues can trigger warning lights related to steering, traction control, and anti-lock brakes, along with error messages on the vehicle's display. Some owners find that reprogramming the BCM with the latest software and clearing any diagnostic trouble codes can occasionally resolve these electrical issues. It is advisable for owners to have their Jeep Compass inspected by a professional technician if they suspect a BCM problem, as prompt attention can help ensure the proper functioning of the vehicle's electrical systems and overall safety on the road.
