Overhead console compass

So my overhead console compass is calabrating itself about every other day. Does anyone have an idea why this is and is there a way to fix it? Thanks, its on a 2003 f350, 90k miles, mods in sig.

The overhead console has so many issues, dim display, dark display, etc. and it is most often loose solder joints on the ICB. I would bet that the same kind of thing is causing your issue. There is a long time test thread on repairing the boards, and I would recommend you try that first. I also have a source for replacement boards if DIY repair doesn't work.

Here is the repair thread:
