These wires are from the overhead console. Which one "color" of the wire(s) powers the compass?

Use a test light to see which wire it is.

What are you trying to accomplish?

I had a drop down TV installed just behind the center console. I assume the guy that installed the TV was being lazy and may have used the power wire from the compass to power the TV? The compass has not work since the install.

It could be if he cut the wire. It also could be a resistor that comes loose. If you can take the compass apart and take a picture of the circuit board I can tell if the resistor is there or not.
