I have the overhead display that shows the compass heading, mpg and miles left to empty (in my 2003 Excursion).
The display works and is well lit and the mpg and miles to empty are working fine... but it is my compass that is not working correctly.
1) The compass will go into the CAL (Calibration mode) all by itself.
2) The compass heading will be blank, then reappear on its own.
3) I will try and manually re-set and drive in a slow circle to re-calibrate and sometimes that works and other times it does not.
4) Sometimes the heading will be correct and other times it will be off (obviously due to a bad calibration).
OK Ford techs.... what is going on?
What can I do?
I can try and drive in a circle again (per the manual) but it seems to come out of calibration a few days or a week later.
What ideas do you have for me?????
Thanks,
