98 EB overhead console/compass prob

Conpass does not read correctly, and I do not have the owners manual telling me how to reset it. Also the gas mileage recently went from being correct to bad readings.
any help?

If they both went on the blink there could be other problems. But to reset the compass you need the following
1 mall parking lot
2 a paperclip.

when in large area of mall parking lot take a paperclip and find reset button on the black box behind rearview mirror (the sensor for the compass) push the button with the clip and when it displays a letter (C or a direction I can't recall) start driving around in circles until it resets it self and starts showing the direction. compass fixed.
Gas mileage is aways horrible, don't worry!!
