Default 2008 Compass N is S, E is W after every CAL

Hi Folks, Followed all the instructions and calibrated my compass about 10 times and N is S, E is W after every CAL....exactly wrong every time. Verified with my GPS.
I have the sensor that clips on the rear view mirror arm.
Do you think I should just replace the sensor or is there another fix?

Thanks,
Dooley88

I haven't read the procedure yet but let me ask a stupid question....can you do the procedure backwards and it possibly will be correct....I had to ask LOL

Maybe if I drive around in reverse it might reset.

Make sure you have the wheel turned to the right as you go in reverse too
