Jeep - Compass :: 2007 - No Power To Stereo
My wife has a 2007 Jeep Compass. The stock stereo stopped working one day. It had no power going to it. My wife's father is a mechanic at a car dealership. He's an older gentleman and isn't very savvy when it comes to modern electronics such as stereos. He tried to fix it for her. He ended up telling her the stereo was "burnt out" and she needed a new one. She was bummed out because the stereo didn't work. I bought her a new aftermarket stereo for her birthday and it came with the installation kit and the adapters and connectors. She asked her father if he could install it for her. He tried and couldn't get it to work. One of his coworkers looked at it and said he suspects there is a "bad wire" somewhere, possibly under the gear shifter? He bench-tested the original stereo and it still works! Where do we look for the "bad wire" ? How do we find it? They haven't been able to find it so far. This model does not have steering wheel controls for the stereo.

How to get the door panel off of a 2011 Jeep Compass without breaking anything? I'm scared to death to go prying on the thing because I can imagine everything inside falling out on the ground. I'm pretty sure I've removed all the little panels and bolts. The reason I'm doing this is because my power window won't roll up and I'm guessing it's the motor.

This has been an ongoing issue for months. I fill up the Compass's gas tank all the way and, at the next stop light or paused traffic, it will stall. My workaround is to fill the gas tank almost all the way full and it doesn't stall. But, what could be causing this issue? I've seen repair suggestions for things such as power control module valve and connector switch for fuel pump, but haven't seen anything definitive.
View 7 RepliesJeep - Compass :: Loud Rattling Noise / Stalling At Idle
i have an 07 jeep compass (only 52k miles). it was making a loud rattling noise (i liken the sound to the noise a penny or pebble makes when its sucked up a vacuum). I pulled off for gas last night and it just wouldn't turn back on. AAA was able to jump the battery and i was able to drive home. Now its dead again. i previously had an issue where the car was stalling when idle (only if it was in drive). I'm thinking the rattling, battery draining and stalling must all be connected.

We have an 07 Jeep Compass, 2.4L, 4WD. About 3 months ago we started to get a creaking/squeaking noise out of the rear suspension. First time I looked at it I found a lot of rust on the calipers and rotors, so new calipers, rotors and pads. Got quieter for a week or so, then it started again. Put the rear up on jack stands and pulled the wheels again. Used a 4' pipe to move the suspension up and done. Had a little bit of noise, but I could not pinpoint the source. Soaked all the bushings with light weight oil and put it back on the road.
A little better for a day or so, but still creaking. Had a problem with one of the new pads (the latest friction material, no abestos, no copper), so back on the stands and change the brakes again. Same thing, quieter for a day or so, then back to creaking. It does this at slow speeds in parking lots. Don't really hear it on the highway. Took it to a dealer for state inspection and told them find the squeak. Claimed they could not hear it.
My daughter drove the mechanic around, no noise. 5 miles after it left the dealer it is back. There is a TSB for parking brake cables with a boot failure. Checked our over the weekend and boots are good, cables are not rubbing. It seems if you fully extend the suspension by jacking it up, that makes it better for a day or so, then its back. Sprayed every joint with Lithium grease last time.

View 6 RepliesJeep - Compass :: 2010 - Losing Power / Hard Acceleration And RPMs Go Up
Our ABS light, anti-skid light, and engine light are on. The light came on when 3 year old son hit it. It just never went off. Dealership hooked it up to diagnostics and said we needed to spend almost 500 on a new ABS system. ALSO, at the same time, the car now sounds like its working very hard to accelerate. The rpm's go up, but there is no additional power. Is this connected to the ABS problem, or is this a transmission problem? Took it to a mechanic and he didn't check the transmission. After talking to him, he said it could be the transmission.

I had to break suddenly last night, and my phone (attached to the AUX cable at the time) bounced up under the wheel, gaining access by the accelerator and break pedals. I can hear it vibrate, but cannot feel the vibrations or touch the phone by reaching up under there - and I am worried I will disconnect the wires if I continue to rummage.
I removed the base of the steering wheel column, but did not find my phone, I guess it is wedged too far into the workings of my car Jeep Compass 2007.
I have two questions. could I remove the plastic facing by the windshield without dismantling the car (I can't tell from the manual)
is it safe to drive with my phone in this position? I'm worried it might disconnect the break fluid or something as I try to drive it to the mechanic.
Jeep - Compass :: Loud Whine When Driving On The Freeway Like The Starter Engaging

I have searched and can not find what the issue is, only dead ends, had NAV out a little while ago for screen repair, put it back in and not it is not accurate, no GPS logo under the compass on the screen, so I assume the GPS plug is not seated all the way in( this is all my search info returned) , removed and checked all the plugs and they seemed all plugged in good.....but I don't know which is the GPS antenna that I really need to be focusing on...

View 7 RepliesPhaeton :: 3.0 TDI V6 2008, Engine Stall On Low RPM
I have, a very unusual problem, My Phaeton stalls sometimes on low RPM, and errors on VCDS SAE P0087.
After a stall, I start up again and drive normally without a error on my dashboard, until another stall occurs, they are occurring always on low RPM, more frequently when car is turning ( intersections are a b...ch ). The things I've done so far to get rid of the problem is:
- Replaced fuel filter
- Replaced Fuel Pressure Regulator
- Checked if there is aluminium in Fuel Pump Filter ( there wasn't ) - cleaned it anyways
btw. there was no indication of aluminium in any of the parts that were replaced, so I think it's safe to assume fuel pump is ok.
After the replacement of Fuel pressure regulator I've driven with my friend with attached VCDS and gathered logs of pressure in fuel rail:
This part of log is during attempted right turn, when engine died.
I'll replace Fuel Pressure Sensor tomorrow, but don't expect much...
Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 Started To Stall Out
My Prius has started stalling out. I had the codes read a couplt days ago..needs plugs or gas cap gaskets. I disconnected the ground cable to clear codes instead of going to dealer and being charged to clear check engine light. After doing this the car has stalled out twice. The first time I tried jumping it didn't work until I disconnected and reconnected the ground cable, it started after about 5 minutes of being hooked up to my other car.
Took it for a drive to charge it further after about 15 miles everything was working fine, the hybrid monitor was showing good charging. Then all of a sudden the triangle light comes on and all the other stuff, check engine etc. Takes a few more miles to stall out. I did the same thing with the battery as before leaving it disconnected for about 5 minutes. Reconnected and it starts up and ran fine to home. ?? Did trying to clear the codes the first time cause these problems???
Golf/GTI VI :: 2008 - Stall Out When About To Accelerate From A Stop Sign
2008 golf city... So I bought this car about 2 years ago and the last couple weeks its had trouble starting and will sometimes stall out when your about to accelerate (from a stop sign) the mechanic I go to replaced the a couple relays under the drivers side dash, however I it hasn't made it better it actually made it worse as now it won't start at all the last 2 days. It rolls over and tries to start just doesn't. Its my only car and I already missed a week of work for it ( I commute ) I need it fixed. I believe the relays where the EMC is what he said number 249 I believe.
View 3 RepliesGasoline - Hyundai - Elantra - Shifters :: 2008 - Car Wants To Stall When Accelerating
I have a 2008 Hyndai Elantra with an automatic transmission. Since the first week I have had my car when the fuel is low (under a half of tank) the car tends to hesitate like it wants to stall, or momentarily shifts into a higher gear than it needs to be for the situation; the rmp's get very low. As the tank drops further below half full, the problem gets progressively worse, especially while trying to accelerate hard; i.e. entering the highway, starting from a red light, etc (times requiring a lower gear). I have brought my car to the dealer for service three times also asking them about this problem. Each time they can not replicate the problem which seems ridiculous since it is difficult to not have the problem when the tank is low.
The day I purchased my car I was speaking with another Elantra customer who was waiting for her car in the service department. She had just purchased her vehicle as well and already had to bring it in for a fuel pump recall. I believe the recall states that the fuel pump fails and causes the car to stall, sounds very similar to what my car wants to do. I have asked about this recall on my vehicle and have been told that it does not affect my car.
Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Rough Idle / Truck Wants To Stall
Let me describe this perplexing issue. I have a speratic rough idle problem. When it happens it's almost like the truck wants to stall. Once going the truck is fine. There has never been any acceleration issues, but for a short time the truck would kind of lunge off idle. It hasn't done that for quite some time. I've replaced the fuel filter. There are no vacuum leaks that I know of. I've tried higher octane fuel. I've tried injector cleaner for a month. What should the fuel pressure be and what is the test port located? Is the fuel pump in the tank? If so, whats that big log looking thing behind the gas tank that the fuel lines run to? Also, there are no MIL codes...
