The thermostat is under the housing where the upper radiator hose attaches to the engine.
To change the thermostat in a 2008 Jeep Compass, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Drain the coolant and remove the upper radiator hose connected to the thermostat housing. Unbolt the thermostat housing, replace the old thermostat with a new one (ensuring the gasket is in place), then reassemble everything in the reverse order. Finally, refill the coolant and check for leaks before reconnecting the battery.
