2008 3500 Cargo DIC Compass Calibration
 
Just purchased a Roadtrek van camper on a 2008 Chevy 3500 chassis with a 6.0L. The DIC compass has been calibrated several times (across the continent) and done according to the user manual. Despite my best efforts, clockwise or anti-clockwise circles, I end up with the compass showing West despite the fact that I am pointed Northwest, North or Northeast.
Has anyone experienced this problem? How was it cured? Is there a bulletin on this? Am I wasting my time trying to fix it? Should I cut my losses and go for a replacement rear mirror with a compass?

Welcome to the forum
have you tried having the dealer look at it? maybe a re-flash of the software is needed..just a thought

Thanks in2pro, I'm on the road, so checking in with a dealer is down the road.

And you have the zone set correctly?

magnetic fields are affected by electronics, strong magnetic fields, and large bodies of metal. Is your van modified, or do you have aftermarket accessories?

Yes
