To calibrate compass you need to drive two full 360 degrees turns and this will calibrate your compass. If the calibration is not successfully completed, then you have to go to dealer to install a magnetic plate to help calibration
In most cases you press the reset button on the compass and then drive in circles (in a parking lot) while it calibrates.
I would imagine you are trying to set the on board compass, these require to circle on full lock whilst they self calibrate.
Small magnets are rotated to "null out" local magnet fields so the compass will accurately align to magnetic North.
It should tell you how in the car owner's manual. It's probably a different process in the 2000 and later models.
I know this sounds stupid but drive around in a circle 3-6 times one way then the other.
If the compass is indicating incorecctly, you are using it wrong, or it is mis-magnetised. Read the instructions or have the compass replaced. If the compass is in a automobile follow the manufacurers installctions and calibrate it. If it is still wrong, trouble shoot excessive magnetism and have the compss replaced; If the compass is in an aircraft, have an A&P (Aricrafe and Powerplant) certified machanicr replaci it If it is still wrong, troubl shoot excessive magnetism and have the compss replaced;
Your automatic dimming rear view mirror may not be working as well. If so, you have a blown fuse. A 5 amp fuse I believe.
Find a parking lot with some room and drive in circle's it usually take about 3 or 4 circles. You only need to be going at idle speed.
People deserve good life time and mortgage loans or commercial loan can make it much better. Just because freedom is based on money state.
