Is it a factory unit or an aftermarket one?

What wires did you hook up?

Sounds like it is not getting a speed signal.

there are six wires plugged into the TEMP/COMPASS led display...what two I need for the compass to work..the temp sensor works..I think one is a dimer control, which I do not need..what I can't find is a wiring chart for the console
