Compass stopped working!

Mitsubishi Delica L400 production commenced in 1994 -- After much anticipation, the L400 arrived on Canadian Soil in 2009!

Compass stopped working!

Post by jcolvin »

The electric compass on my L400 stopped working after a stereo install. The N-E-S-W part of the display just bounces up and down. There is an "S" button next to the compass that I imagine is used to zero it but if I press that the compass just flashes. The outdoor thermometer display still works fine. Any ideas?

With the compass being the most integral part of the L400 ( I know this cause Lazybrownfart told me so) I would stay in the driveway until you get it fixed.

The last thing we need is a lost Delican :-D

Must be a large driveway to accommodate the not so tight turning radius on the L400 :-D

I love happy endings. Especially when the Delica gets to drive off into the sunset......
