How to Replace the Outer Handle on a Jeep Compass

Model: Jeep Compass MK 1, MK 49 - Years 2006-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the outer handle on a Jeep Compass, you need to completely loosen the screws that secure the door panel to its housing: these are located near the window switch and at the bottom of the panel. Once the panel is removed, disconnect the underlying connectors to access the screws that hold the handle in place from the inside: this will allow you to remove the handle from its position so you can insert the new one. After installation, remount the panel and check that everything functions correctly.
