Two problems related to headlight switch have been reported for the 2018 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 10/12/2017

The interior instrument panel and console lighting will not dim at night. This leads to a blinding situation. The dimmer switch functions only intermittently but the ip lights will go full bright after a short while after a vehicle restart. This occurs whether or not the car is moving or parked. Headlights are switched on to auto. The lights behave this way day or night. Appears to be a sensor issue.
