    Question over head compass??

    My 2003A MM, the over head compass doesn't light up. Did I some how turn it off or Is there a fuse?? thanks for any help.

    probably the resistor in it has come undone, Fastblackmerc can fix it.

    There is no fuse for the compass. Either a resistor is lost or loose.

    As stated, I can fix it for you.

    That looks like the entire compass assembly.
