Ian, do you have the Instructions to go along with your compass?
It is a bit of a challenge to calibrate it , as you have to preset your location and then ride in a near perfectcircle in one direction and then reverse direction for the second step.
It took me longer to get it calibrated than the install, but then again I was reading the directions in reverse order

The Yellow is it possibly an Orange wire? As one of the wiresis removed from the stock connector and is then pluged into the wiring harness coming from the Compass Sensor...
You see there is no easy answer without the diagram.
I could type out the instructions for you(no scanner) but they would make absolutely no sense without he wiring diagram on the back page....
Hopefully someone else is able to scan the 4 double sided pages for you.
Cheers and Dont Get Lost with the Newly installed compass.
Cheers,
Rob

There is no plug at the end of the compass wiring it has three wires red -black and white the yellow wire was in the box and is about three inches long ,However it did come with ends to make a plug to fit the harness but they dont match any under the faring ,It is a in dash compass that Harley sells ,I tried the red and black hooked up to power and ground but the compass keeps spinning .I read the calibration instructions about HI LOW 3 times but it still spins so Im wondering where the white wire has to go and if I need the yellow one
Thanks again Ian
