Drive slowly in small circles - compass woes
01 SLE compass demands recalibration a couple of times a day. Just started this last week. Haven't changed anything -no speakers or amps, nothing in trunk, driving where I have always driven - haven't moved. Seems to calibrate ok, but it won't stay calibrated. This evening I pulled the connector off and cleaned it, but it looked ok so I'm looking for any more suggestions. Is there a way to check the transducer?
How much would a new one cost? What about finding one in a junkyard? Are they one size fitzalls? Or is there a way to stop the incessent dinging when it needs recalibrated? Could I just leave it unplugged. I find compasses useless. Thanks in advance for responses.
