Overhead Computer Fixed... But Compass is Erratic

I got the OTC soddered up and all the displays appear to be working, however my compass is erratic.

It will work, or it will freeze on a direction, or it will want to be caled. I have caled it and had it in good working order, but it will not stick.

Any idea on what it needs?

Thanks, Rich

Exact same problem on mine, damn compass keeps kicking back into cal mode and going nowhere. I did send it of to the fella ebay for $29 foe an ovhl but still having the compass problem. Let me know if you find a fix. The other functions work perfectly even the milage lie o meter is acruate when compared to fuel fill vs milage.
