Hey All, just picked up a 84AE that I am going to restore. Kinda got screwed on the deal but making the best of a bad situation and going to tear it apart and put it back together the way it use to be. I was messing around with the car tonight and noticed the compass sometimes shows one arrow, sometimes 2 or 3 or all of them. Doesn't seem to do anything correct. Also the G meter doesn't seem to work either. The numbers aren't there or partial or the arrows are all lit up. Is this an issue with the gauge or is there a control unit going out. I thought the g meter didn't have a control module.

Also the trip computer isn't lit up. I am assuming its the power supply or loose connection but not sure the rest of the dash seems to work fine.

 

Pretty much the first thing to come up on Google. http://xenonzcar.com/z31/CompassCalibration.html

Most of these forums have a list of websites that have fixes for all the common issues.
