Compass malfunction

I have a 2006 F350 and the in dash compass has started to read 180 degrees off.
North is south, etc.

I've done the recalibrate function twice now, turning in different directions
and it still stays the oposite of what it should read. Any ideas?

It's been working fine for 6 years.

Thanks for any ideas,

Fred Wishnie

We had a similar problem in our 2002 explorer along with door ajar light and few other things.. mechanic found a vacumm leak somewhere under the hood and all the crazy stuff going on straightened up. Sounds crazy but compass started working right and door light never came back.
