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 Calibration in Instrument Panel, Gages and Console.
