Jeep Compass, Patriot 2007 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a 2007 Jeep Compass or Patriot and ended up with the wrong bracket, wrong harness, or a module that didn’t fit, you already know the pain of guessing. This is the factory-issued Jeep Compass, Patriot 2007 Parts Catalog – 465 pages of OEM part numbers, exploded diagrams, and VIN-specific breakdowns. No aftermarket database, no fuzzy photocopy. This is the same book a dealer parts counter would pull up if you walked in with your VIN.

VIN Plate Decoding – What the First Page Tells You

Page 1 of this catalog is pure gold. It shows exactly how to decode your 17-character VIN for these models – country, make, vehicle type, GVWR, vehicle line, series, body style, engine, check digit, model year, assembly plant, and build sequence. For example, position 5 tells you if you’re looking at a Compass or Patriot, left-hand drive or right-hand drive, FWD or 4×4. Position 8 decodes the engine: K = 2.4L I4 DOHC 16V Dual VVT Gasoline (ED3). If you haven’t seen the Jeep Compass Patriot VIN Plate Decoding Information page, you’re losing time. That single page saves you from ordering a part that fits a different sub-model.

Group 1 – Mopar Accessories: Audio, Carriers, and Electrical

The catalog opens with Group 1, covering every Mopar accessory offered for these vehicles. Want to install a factory satellite radio? Fig. 1-105 lists the Satellite Receiver GEN 2.5 with its specific part number and install kit. Need the Video Entertainment System for the Compass? Fig. 1-110. For the Patriot? Fig. 1-115. The catalog also covers Navigation Kits, iPod adapters, roof carriers, ski racks, remote start kits, park distance sensors, fog lamp kits, engine block heaters, and alarms. Each illustration shows the exact hardware kit you need – no generic “universal” bracket that requires drilling custom holes. This is how you keep an accessory install clean and reliable.

Group 2 through 8 – Suspension, Axles, Brakes, Cooling, Electrical

Groups 2 through 8 break down the mechanical components. Front suspension (Fig. 2-110) includes struts, knuckles, control arms. Front axle shafts (Fig. 2-210). Rear axle assembly and mounts (Fig. 3-110, 3-120). Parking brake lever and cables (Fig. 4-110). Service brakes front and rear (Fig. 5-110, 5-210) with separate pages for power brake booster, master cylinder, brake lines. Clutch assembly for both the [DEF] and [DD7] transmissions (Fig. 6-110, 6-120). Cooling system: radiators, water pump for 2.4L ED3 and 2.0L diesel, coolant tanks, drive belts, grille. Electrical section covers starters and alternators for both engine options (Fig. 8-110, 8-120, 8-210, 8-220). Each figure includes a parts list with OEM numbers – no cross-referencing to aftermarket junk.

3 Reasons to Stay with Factory OEM Documentation

Aftermarket parts catalogs often combine years or mix trims. This one is locked to model year 2007 and specific build codes. Reason one: part numbers here are 100% verified against the original Jeep engineering release. Reason two: the VIN decoding tables let you drill down to exact engine, drivetrain, and options. Reason three: the exploded diagrams show fastener callouts – bolt grades, thread pitch, torque sequence references (torque values come from the corresponding service manual). If you’re serious about not stripping a bolt hole or installing the wrong caliper bracket, this catalog is your first check. For related documentation, check the Jeep Compass MoPar Accessories Parts Catalog 2008 for later model-year additions, or the 1987 Jeep 21 & 23 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs for historical reference.

What This Catalog Does Not Cover

A parts catalog is not a service manual. It won’t tell you how to remove the front axle or what torque to set the caliper bolts to. For those procedures you need the factory service manual. But this catalog is where you start: verify the part number before you order, especially for critical items like axle shafts, brake boosters, and wiring harnesses. The Automotive Industry Overview notes that using incorrect parts leads to safety failures. Don’t be that guy. Also, keep a fresh Automotive Battery handy when you start any electrical work – no manual can fix a dead battery.

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, illustrations, and component breakdowns. Torque specs come from the factory service manual for your year.

Can I use this catalog to rebuild my 2007 Jeep Compass engine?

You can use it to identify every internal engine part – pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets – and order them with correct OEM numbers. But you also need the factory service manual for assembly procedures, clearances, and torque sequences. This catalog gives you the part numbers; the service manual gives you the steps. Both together are the only way to do it right. The catalog’s 465 pages include every figure for each group, so you won’t miss a component.

Whether you’re replacing a fog lamp bracket on a Compass or overhauling the rear axle on a Patriot, start with the OEM part number. Access the Factory Manual now and stop guessing which part belongs where.
