Why won t my 2010 jeep Patriot start?

Could be a number of things, like a dead/failing battery, corroded battery terminals and/or loose connection, bad WCM, or a problem with corroded connections in the relay box. Check for any error codes, like p1279 (starter circuit 2 open).

Why wont my jeep Patriot start?

While there are a variety of reasons your Jeep Patriot won’t start, the most common 3 are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.

Can a Jeep Patriot run without a fuel pump?

Without gas your Patriot will not run at all. With that in mind, most of the symptoms of a bad fuel pump revolve around the vehicle stalling out or not running at all. In modern fuel injected vehicles, the fuel pump sits right in the fuel tank and “pushes” the gasoline to the fuel rail (s).

What to do if your Jeep Patriot won’t start?

Two weeks ago, I went out to start it and it wouldn’t start. No crank or anything. Battery is nearly new, all lights lit up brightly, radio worked fine. I looked into it and there is a TSB for the wireless control module, and a simple quick fix is to disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and reconnect and that will reset the WCM.

What are the symptoms of a bad fuel pump?

Here are the most common symptoms of a bad fuel pump in your Jeep Patriot: One of the most common signs that a fuel pump is going bad is a whining sound. The whining sound can indicate that the fuel pump is going out before there are any performance based issues. Keeping an open ear can save you from getting stuck somewhere with a bad fuel pump.

What kind of starter does a Jeep Patriot have?

Im a 2hr drive away from my vehicle and wont get a chance to be back to look at it until tomoro or the next day. Cycle your key 3 times see if it throws a code though. Mine showed p1279 starter circuit 2 open. I spliced into a wire directly at the tipm. Cant remember the colour right now exactly. But it was in the small brown connector.

When did the Jeep Patriot first start up?

We bought the car brand new from the dealership 4/15/14, first incident was in the afternoon after the car had been driven 15 miles to the mall on 4/19/14. When the tow truck driver arrived it started right up for him. The second time was 6/20/14, car had been driven 10 miles.

How much does a Jeep Patriot part cost?

Based on the TSB, they quoted me over the phone $130 for the part and another $150 for labor, but who knows what other “problems” they’re going to find along the way. Keep me posted about this.
