    Compass not displaying

    Just noticed my compass in the overhead is no longer displaying anything. Or at least I used to recall there was a compass there, right? What should I try first to troubleshoot it? The rest of the buttons work. The two light buttons and the homelink red light will show also.

    There are 3
    or 4 rectangular flat chip resistors on the printed circuit board that have bad solder joints or have come detached completely. They need to be resoldered.
