Removal Procedure
Because the compass system is so complex and susceptible to outside
influences, examine the system thoroughly before performing any repairs. Diagnose
the system in an area free from potential interference, such as an open
field. Recalibrate the system before performing any other repairs in order
to verify the existence of a problem. Refer to
Electronic Compass Operation
in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners

replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
