Having problem with compass not working, (wrong direction).
Yea. I tried driving in circles, reset using ignition key as well as instructions in owners manual. Thoughts??:beerme:

For what its worth the compass in my 14' is usually off by half a direction. Going south and it says I am going southeast. Pretty annoying, I had no idea you could reset them, I need to look into that. I bought a Suunto watch with a compass instead, I justified the purchase by telling the GF the one in the Jeep didn't work.
Hmmm, not sure why you'd be posting in a Wrangler forum, I'm sure there's Compass-specific forums out there. But if you're able to drive the Compass in a full circle why wouldn't you be able to stop turning the wheel once you're facing the direction you want to be heading?
Put a stick in the ground, and every hour mark the end point shadow on the ground for 5 hours. Draw a straight line thru that. Then draw a line perpendicular to that and that is True North. Not Magnetic North. Close enough for a Caveman.
I started to say because that's the zone I live in and they wanted to do something special for me.
However, Zone 8 is about the halfway point of the 15 zones and some owners might not take the time to tweak the default setting. Thus, Zone 8 is a compromise between the extremes.
If you drove in a full circle, then you must have been pointing North at SOME point... I don't see the need for a compass!
