[Solved] 2008 Jeep Compass

Topic starter

I know Mr. K doesn't like the Jeep Compass, but mine has a tow package and I got it for a great price.   It's a nice little around the house work horse.    My question is, I had the driver's front hub replaced and now the speed sensor light, ABS light and traction light,  are all illuminated on the dashboard.   I changed the speed sensor.    My biggest problem is that I am not a mechanic but I like to work on my car.   I'm just learning.    I need a good answer as to why my dashboard has three lights on, indicating a bad speed sensor (which is good).   I can't find the problem.

I tired the guy replaced the hub either messed up the job or bought the wrong hub especially if you bought one of those Chinese made hubs they don't have the right system on them and they will not work with the sensor see that all the time


@scottykilmer thanks Mr. Kilmer. Congratulations on your move from Houston to Tennessee. But you're a cold weather guy anyway and you're now closer to your family? I lived in Texas too, for 15yrs and made a good living before moving back to Missouri ten years ago and retired. Texas was too crowded, but I'm sure you miss that house and garage. You were right about the Chinese made hub (Amazon). I bought it so I'll have to pay the piper. "Rev up your engines!!!!" Thanks Scotty!!!!!


You were right Mr. Kilmer. The mechanic who replaced the wheel bearing pressed it in backwards so that the magnetic strip was pointed in the wrong direction. The shop owner was denying everything and when I mentioned the engine lights on, he told me that I brought it in that way. I went to another mechanic on the other side of town and they fixed it and gave me a break. I should not have paid the first guy, but he had my keys.
