I did on my 2008 Patriot but that was after 210,000 miles and seven NH winters. I was getting screwy warning lights and persistent battery run-down. For anyone with a 1st gen Compass (sibling to the Patriot), there is a potential weak spot in the harness directly below the battery.
 
Hi ; I have a 2011 Compass Eu export model Sport 4x4 2.2 CRD with the Mercedes engine Om 651 ; FOR SAFETY Eu requirements AT the Eu import requirements THEY JUST CUT off abrutly the underneath plastic cover TO allow recuers IN case of engine FIRE TO have an underneath access on the right corner JUST right on THIS weak spot of the Compass electrical junctions ( relay box ) !
