Hi. I have a 2015 2.4l jeep patriot.
Battery light started to come on, so I replaced the battery and the alternator twice. Light is still on. I read somewhere that it could be a fusible link but I have no idea what that is. Any help would be appreciated. It all started when my friend used my car to jump his off.

It could be a lot of things including too much resistance in battery cables or bad grounds. Don't just replace things willy-nilly. Do some research and actually test components. You can test and alternator and battery with a digital multimeter.

Anyway, what code are you getting?

I'm having a similar issue with a 2009 jeep compass 2.4L.. is the wiring the same?
It's not my car, just trying to help out, has a new battery and 2 new alternators. Now it was intermittent at first, car would show battery and stall, then restart fine with no light. Now it just isnt charging.. I'm trying find something before they go buy a new pcm..
