Is anyone coming to Louisville that has a working compass or does the repairs and has an extra one lying around that I could swap mine out with? Mine has never worked since I got the car in 2011 and it is really annoying that it doesn't. Would be nice to look up and see it lit up. Thanks.

Did this on mine as soon as I got it. VERY easy fix, that as long as you have a soldering iron would be no problem.

Awesome, I have the console out now so I will just take the compass out and leave it out for Louisville. Thanks guys.

Is the resistor still there? Sometimes they fall off and are lost. I have the resistor(s) if needed.

You should remove the compass and replace it with a scangauge.
