compass and temp gone.

My overhead computer had been slowly going out on me. First started to fade, I could wiggle the wires and it would be fine, then more frequent, now gone. I miss it. Any suggestions cause I like to know East from West and Temperature, and changing to KPG to throw my friends off and all. Thanks!

I don't really have a suggestion for you other tahn disconnect the wires and make sure the connections are clean and makiing good contact. Mine did that and after cleaning it hasn't failed since. I don't have the temp in mine and would like it to. Does anyone know if I can get one that has the temp and is there a lot of extra wiring for it or is the stock wiring already there?

Mine worked for a few seconds after I messed with it but it died as well. Who knows. I wonder how much a new one is?
