Well, you're probably not gonna like this much, but you're probably gonna want to buy an EVTM (Electrical/Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual) from Ford and a test light or multimeter. The problem might be something as simple as no power into the plug, or maybe since your X didn't originally come with the compass and thermometer, it might not have the necessary sensors. Just about every Ford built with A/C since the early '70s has had an ambient temperature sensor (although that doesn't guarantee that signal works for the temp display on the overhead), but I have no idea where the compass sensor might be.
I'm sorry for not offering a solution, but hopefully I've pointed you in the right direction to find the problem.
