Scrap Jeep?

2012 Jeep Compass pretty much scrap because of a cooling fan control module that's not available anymore... let's see if we can do something to get it back on the road.

[@danbailey96]

Put a toggle switch to turn the cooling system on and off

[@ScrapPalletMan]

Reentry burn lol

[@luwinahand5200]

Chrysler was notorious for using plastic calipers, pistons, and brake pads. Caused me major problems back in ‘84. The problem was the master cylinder after all the brake components had melted.

[@user-pp2nq3qj3d]

Well Bert, ya got yourself another iron to stick in the fire!😅 God bless you and your Family!

[@trafan2122]

Good job on the Jeep, the owner will be pleased.The blueberries look lovely as well 👍

[@nerys71]

Boy people are being awfully rough on this car first of all it's 12 years old which is 2 years longer than the average car lasts and it's got 207,000 mi on it which is 107,000 mi more than the average car lasts and all it's got is a cooling fan problem? Well that's an easy fix and he's fixing it put a damn switch on it :-) And also don't forget about where he lives I used to live there I visited his farm he lives in the tri-state area in New Jersey salt and snow every winter any car more than 10 years old is impressive I mean look at how much welding he has to do to his cars That's not because the car is a bad that's because of where he lives :-) that area of the country is absolutely brutal on cars.

[@ScrapFarm]

I hear you I think these things get a bad rap from the owners a lot of people are horrible and maintenance and like I said with all that plastic stuff you can't really mess around

[@amethystwinter8231]

Beautiful, Blueberris. Mechanical Adventures with Bert, fun and interesting ❤

[@joegerhard1358]

Thing looks clean. Definitely wont be seeing those around. Might be some in the junkyard tho. My boy bought a 2012 jeep patriot they're known for, like an ac leaking and rottin the subframe.

[@imakatoh3593]

My favorite vehicle I've owned was a old school Cherokee. Had it nearly 20 years. Ran like a top but always had heating and cooling issues. Eventually it was literally falling apart. My husband is ok with some repairs but it needed a lot of major surgery. Sold it to someone like you that might fix it up.

[@toddgibbs7599]

Couldn't you just put a toggle switch on it? Turn on when driving, off when your not? We live in a "disposable society " today, nothing is build to last or any quality.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Brilliant Job Bert - Your Knowledge & Know How is Fantastic ! Yum-Yum Blueberries ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!

[@kensmith6859]

That is a rivet n a half! Another great educational video

[@ronaldfarley7719]

I will take a tray of Blue Berries but I think the shipping would kill me. Good luck on the cooling system, it sounds like it's going to be a headache for you. By the way the shipping to NC is what would kill me.

[@charlesmeguin5608]

Shit Bert, I've gotva 96 chevy 1500 that tows a 18ft landscape trailer daily with 289k on it,just has a little chevy front end wondering.I also have a 99 F250 with 280k on it and a 99 chevy 3500 with 113k on it.i personally will not buy a new(er) truck for $80-100 that's just flat out insanity..I've not commented in a while but still watch you daily.Good Luck with the jeep.

[@daleh645]

Nice work 👍 it’s sad but true about a disposable society. 😢 Blueberries look delicious! 😎✌🏼

[@mabeldelrey7741]

Still looking great. For me. I don't about engines, but the body and inside of it, looks taken care of well.

[@rubyred8845]

Great job Bert 😊

[@CravinMorehead420]

My sister had a 2009. Two transmission's later, she traded that POS in haha

[@tomlim4406]

Nice one. 🤟❤️

[@ramblingman8992]

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned thermostatic switch to control the fan?.

[@moosetube]

Hope that fix takes. Berries lookin great

[@scraptruckdeancincy1057]

The only Chrysler car I ever owned was my daughter's PT Loser. Lasted 90,000 and engine locked up. Sold it to local scrap yard. That cheap Jeep ready for scrap at 10 years old. I am still driving my 83 Olds everyday...

[@ScrapFarm]

Yeah it's really a shame the quality of stuff now

[@wolley2012]

I'm impressed with the size of that pop rivet.

[@ScrapFarm]

Lol.....love them.....I have a few thousand left....

[@danaedwards5464]

the worth of that jeep is how much it weights

[@WhiteTriForce]

I get it !😉 you're fixing it for someone else ! 🤷 Otherwise for 5 to 7 dollars you can get a light up toggle switch and mount it on the dash ! 🤗✨️

[@russelltackett4779]

Those are nice vehicles, I have a 2004 jeep Cherokee its a good one to

[@computiacusa]

This was disappointing 😟 I thought you had a new addition to the fleet. Mmmmmmmmmmm Blueberries !

[@ScrapFarm]

Never a jeep

[@anthonypiligno7618]

🎉? put a toggle switch on it

[@nickmad887]

Nice Bert.

[@Galbenul1981]

❤❤❤

[@OriginalNethead]

I drive a 2005 Nissan, but it has 91000 miles on it, not over 200,000. Good luck messing with that beast!

[@chadfiebelkorn3799]

Good luck.

[@billymoad]

Hi Bert and everyone from northwest Missouri I drive a 1995 GMC z71 extended cab with almost 250 thousand miles on original motor and transmission frame has no rust cab and front fenders starting to rust 😢

[@waltwood4113]

#happyscrapping

[@silverlicious2086]

Nice work. Looks to be in pretty good shape. How much did you pay for it? Blueberries look delicious.

[@mickeymorrow8768]

Your little spa er slash censor remover looks like a left handed mini hockey stick coool Bert I gots some of those yeeeeeew

[@kevinmonroe6769]

Hey Bert saved another one how's those blackberries doing 😅

[@ScrapFarm]

They're coming along most of them are red now

[@jonrusso4720]

U got a bad temperature sensor now...

[@jerrysadventures8952]

I got a 1996 jeep it's run good

[@tnridge]

Rock Auto 36.79 in stock LOL

[@ScrapFarm]

The only thing I could find was .... a universal one kind of like what I put in

[@danbailey96]

It's because of being a Chrysler product.....I had a American motors jeep ch5 and a j10 pickup in 1978 both new....which wasn't bad vehicles but the real beast was the original Willy's jeep

[@MrScrappity]

[@jamesward5721]

There's always a way around - usually, when I encounter issues like this on customers vehicles, I shrug & say "Sorry, can't help" because the work-around will be semi-iffy, it'll work, but not in the "You can hand this to an idiot & they'll be fine" sort of way - there will be some slight sketchiness involved or else it will take a lot of time/effort to do - which they won't/can't pay for - so I pass.

[@ScrapFarm]

Yeah it's definitely janky but it's a family friend and they just want to get the rest of the life out of it I told him just change the oil and don't even fix anything else LOL

[@jamesward5721]

@@ScrapFarm I'd have chucked a rocker switch onto the dash. "Fan On"... "Fan Off".. :-) You went the extra mile going all technical - Kudos to ya. :-)

[@johnsketchley8475]

207,000 just a newbie for you Bert

[@scottdavidson5816]

Old Fred new chick magnet lol

[@Wolshanze]

How many hoopers can one man own ?

[@OriginalNethead]

Bert's aiming to find out!

[@geirkleven3936]

Hi Bert. You want the probe in the bottom of the radiator. Only when the bottom gets to hot you need the fan.

[@ScrapFarm]

Heat rises and the inlets in the top the thermostat is always at the top of the engine

[@patriciabarnhart1886]

We never had a bit of luck with Jeeps over the years.

[@joshuacallaway6359]

Brother you do know the back of your hair is uneven right

[@ScrapFarm]

Yeah I don't give a s*** I'm about to shave it all off

[@elainewallace3381]

Great video Bert I had my last car for years and years it looked great but underneath was a different story Blueberries are looking good .

[@Mars-bv7ig]

is een fiat bad bad cars

[@ScrapFarm]

Yup

[@JoeSmith-ov4go]

That's the worst piece of Jeep they ever made.

[@ScrapFarm]

Yup

[@Anti-Groomer]

Just wait until they figure out how to make plastic engine blocks and frames. They won't rust at least.
