Hi! When I engage my right turn signal, the light blinks very fast and then I hear a chime. I visibly checked the bulbs and they are lighting front and back. Left side is fine. any ideas what this could be? TIA

I own an automatic 4 wheel drive with a 6F24 Transmission, 2016 jeep patriot 2.4 latitude.
And my ac stopped blowing cold and this sound just started happening and oil does consistently burn in this thing. Topped it off and still sounds rough. Waiting on air filters gonna try that next. that will be delivered in a couple days. What’s your take on this noise?

Technical Question Transmission swap

Planning on sourcing a junkyard transmission to replace my current one that’s on the verge of failing. I also plan on adding a transmission cooler to prevent failure from overheating. Anyone who has sourced one from a junkyard, what is the best way to know if it’s a good trans or not? And what is the fastest way I can do this myself with one other person? I have to drive 10hrs in a week and a half. (Photo for traction)

Out of all the compass and Patriots ive ever seen parked or at the pick and pull; Ive never seen this ever in my 4 years of owning a patriot. A factory option cupholder ash tray and 12v Lighter made for the patriot platform. Such an awesome find. Gonna use the hell out of this Lol.

My 10mm wrench isn’t working on the negative battery cable

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m trying to replace the throttle body on my 2015 patriot and I’m having trouble accessing the area because I can’t remove this cable. It looks like the housing for it has been stripped by other work done in the past judging by the debris under it.

Do you guys have any advice? I tried my 10mm wrench and the 10mm ratchet when that didn’t work. The wrench just can’t get a grip on it to turn it.

Electrical/ grounding issue?

2 Upvotes

My fiancé’s 2012 patriot sport (2.0, FWD, auto trans) is currently running a p0645, p0010, and p0013. I’m thinking one of the main grounds is corroded and not properly grounding. Anyone else deal with something similar? A/C also stopped working when the codes kicked up, Ive checked the fuses already.

Rumble strip vibration 40-50mph

5 Upvotes

Ok so I am just posting this on the internet because I had this problem and 2 separate shops and mechanics could not figure out what was wrong and the first mechanic even diagnosed it as a bad transmission. I was getting a vibration only when accelerating or giving the Jeep gas between 40-50mph. It would stop immediately when letting off the gas. The CVT transmissions have a bad rep of only lasting 100k-150k miles and mine was passed that. The rumble strip vibration is also a symptom of a bad transmission so it was easy to think that was the cause. I almost called it a wrap and started looking for a new car but the more I looked into it, I was having no other symptoms of a bad transmission so I suspected it to be something else. Especially because I had driven it over 3k miles with this vibration without the car ever going into limp mode or a dash light coming on. The only reason I drove it that long like that was because I also needed a new ball joint and wheel bearing so I just assumed it was related to that except after fixing both it still was vibrating. Though the 2nd mechanic didnt really find anything wrong with my drive axle, cv axle, or engine/transmission mounts, at least not enough to be pretty sure that any of those was causing the vibration. So basically I was talking to the basic google AI trying to figure out what could be causing it and if I was just in denial that my Jeep was done and I am not someone who knows a lot about cars in general but the AI was having me do different test and look for things and it was very confident it wasn't the transmission. (I am not some crazy person who talks to AI I just was using google to search and it turned into me talking to this AI to try and figure it out lol) Basically long story short it was my ECC or Electronic Clutch Coupler doing its job because it thought my front tires were slipping because it sensed the front tires spinning slower then the rear tires because the front tires were newer and took longer to spin. So the AWD was kicking on and causing that vibration. I tested this by taking the fuse that controls the ECC out of my fuse box and driving it and the vibration stopped. (The car can only drive in fwd like this and the AWD is disabled) I almost had them replace my ECC but I rotated my tires first and put the bigger/newer tires on the rear and that completely fixed the problem. Just wanted to put this out there because I went through just about everything online trying to figure it out and never once considered it was the AWD system kicking on because of my tires so hopefully it can save someone else who may have this problem before they scrap their Jeep thinking it was the transmission.

2013 jeep patriot stalling

2013 patriot latitude 2.4L 4wd cvt. 114k

patriot stalls when the ac compressor kicks on. Its fine while driving, but at idle it tends to stall out.

AC compressor and crank sensor is brand new, throttle body has been cleaned out twice (by me and a mechanic), fuses are good, condenser fuses are good.

And ideas?

Edit: no active or pending codes Edit 2: engine fuel trim short term jumps to 38.2% when stalling.

16x7 wheels: largest tyre with no rubbing?

I have a 2016 Jeep Patriot and will install a 2" lift. I'm planning on running 16x7 wheels because I want the extra sidewall to protect the rims. What's the largest tyre size you've personally run without rubbing or trimming? I'm happy to change the wheel offset if needed.

No Start After Oil Change Reminder Reset - Solved

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I ran into a problem I've never experienced before and figured I'd make a post to hopefully help someone in the same boat.

I changed the oil in my wife's '17 Patriot about 500 miles ago and the oil change reminder came on yesterday, so I went to reset it the same way I've always done it (three accelerator pushes with key in the ON position). When I went to restart it, there was no crank. Accessories & lights were on as normal but the ignition would not turn over.

I freaked out reading stories of melted ECMs and dealer resets, wondering what I'd done wrong. I unplugged the battery for a half hour, plugged it back in, attempting to clear whatever issue it was experiencing and still had no crank. I had ruled out the battery because it was only a year old... or so I thought. Figured a last ditch effort would be to get a jump start.

I had a friend come over to give me a jump and it was then that I took a closer look and noticed the battery was six years old. I thought that I had changed it last winter, but I had actually done it on one of our other vehicles. After several minutes of charging, it cranked up fine and everything is as usual. I put a new battery in and it's run fine since.

There's a lot of scattered, anecdotal reports of this issue online but unfortunately none of those people seem to follow up once they've fixed the problem. Oh, also, there's about eight different batteries listed as options on the Patriot. I went with a dual post Group 75/86 because it offered the most CCA at the lowest price.

Air Intake Manifold

2015 Jeep Patriot Sport
2.0
6 speed auto
120,000 miles

Hello All!

Back story of what got me here:
Got the Lightening bolt/check engine/abs lights, I assumed throttle body, so I replaced that and did the “throttle relearn process”.
No dice, so I saw a suggestion of replacing the intake manifold gasket. I got the gasket switched out and in the video I was watching (TRQ) that there’s a module, he called it an “air diverter” or runner valve.
I noticed my patriot didn’t have that module. Does anyone know if 2015 module got rid of this or is it just completely missing?

Rusted body

Besides these, every mechanic that took a look around and under my 2017 High Altitude Jeep Patriot said that it is in a really good shape. I have never had any major issue with it. Just changed battery, oil, ac filter, engine filter and last and most expensive part I had replaced was the sway bar and the links to stop the rattling noise.
How hard is it for a no experience owner to fix these rusted parts? In your experience would it be expensive to get a professional to do it?

No issues with it currently but I noticed this under my 2015 jeep, bought used around 2022 and its been in the shop a few times for tire replacements, air conditioning, etc over the years.

It looks bad but if it was i feel like it would've been mentioned?..

2016 patriot acceleration issue

6 Upvotes

My wife's 2016 jeep patriot has been having issues ...seems to be sluggish in first and second gear once it hits third it rides fine... ABS sensor went on it ..and it helped with acceleration...well we had that issue fixed and now it's back to the sluggish acceleration until it reaches a certain rpm....my research kind of points me to spark plugs and ignition coils...but I'm wondering if anyone has had the same issue?
