Problem overview

Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing persistent warning light issues after replacing the alternator and battery, often attributed to loose electrical connections, damaged wires, or corrosion on the battery terminals, even when the alternator is functioning correctly. Additionally, these owners may find that replacing the battery and alternator can inadvertently trigger the battery warning light, particularly in newer models with advanced diagnostic systems. Advanced diagnostics may be required to identify any underlying charging system faults or electrical issues. Furthermore, some owners note the importance of resetting the power windows and sunroof after a battery change to ensure these systems operate properly. If the warning light issue continues, consulting a professional mechanic for further inspection is recommended.
