Outside Temp. Guage and Compass

[jimbomania]

Temp guage and compass was not working so took the advise of the forum post and did a resolder of the resistors and it fixed the problem right away. Now a couple days later after I cut the power to put in a new wiper switch I am starting to get a 1 in front of the temp# IE instead of 56 degrees it reads 156. Is there a ground wire mounted to the top counsil somewhere that could have a bad connection?

my little feedback: un-cut the power.

Already tried that and still same result.

i remember reading somewhere you have re teach the compass and tem gauge. something about going to an empty parking lot pressing mode til something flashes then drive in circles , dont press on gas do like 4-5 loops and compass will relearn whats up.


let me see if i can find it.

reading the post again,
if the temp display is varying, and true temp is displayed but with a "1" in front of it. Take the console apart again, maybe there's a bit of loose solder or wire that's shorting out a connection to light up the 1.
edit : on the PCB that you fixed the resistors on
