Compass and Thermometer are Dead
What would you call the display on the ceiling of my truck?
It shows my fuel millage, outside temperature and the direction i am travelling.
It has recently gone dead and i can't figure out why.
Which fuse does it run off of?
All my fuses under the dash are good.
Thanks
Any help would be apreciated.

Not a fuse, unfortunately. The connector to the display comes loose. The only permanent fix is to take it apart and resolder it. There's guides for it, here's one:

I have heard this connector problem in the past. Mine is a little different problem. The compass direction goes blank and sometimes gives the wrong direction and says "cal" under the little square. I have tried the calibration procedure in the manual but it goes right back to doing the same thing.

Yes I am having trouble with the compass only. Everything else is working fine. I am wondering if there is some sort of magnetic compass somewhere else that feeds digital info to the over head compass readout.
