Rip it out, throw it out the driversside window. Whichever way it bounces is north!!! Make sure you are driving when attempting this!

I have a 2004 250 SD. My manual says to drive in a circle (empty parking lot) several times to calibrate the unit. I can look at my manual for more details..not sure if this will help you, but it beats throwing it out of the window!!!
