Compass On Overhead Console Fixed

Hello Everyone, I had an issue with the Compass not displaying on the overhead Console. I found the issue on the circuit board.



This element needs to be resoldered on the board and all is well. I didn't have a solering iron with me so i used a hot glue gun.

I just picked up this X a couple of days ago and was wondering if there is a outside temp that shows? I had an X about 3 or 4 years ago and can not remember. I'm sure someone will enlighten me.

The outside temperature will show on your electronic AC control located below your radio

Things keep "de soldering" and breaking loose in this module. I had to replace and re-solder several components.
I am thinking on enclosing it all in epoxy.
I am afraid that hot glue will fail very fast there. Mind that if solder itself fails, hot glue has no chance. You should re-solder.

Yes I will resolder but I didn't have a iron handy at the time. Thanks for the response my brother.

Yes, there should be an outside air temperature display on the overhead...I think depending on the year it's located as aforementioned. What year is the Excursion?

It is a 2005. Yeah it is on the Climate Controls as mentioned earlier. I had an 02 a couple years ago and it was on the overhead. Just got the 05 a couple days ago and going through everything to make sure it all works.

I had that same issue with 2000 x. I guess the third party supplier never address the issue.
