my rear heat runs through a plug under the center console.

Also, it may be in the manual, and I either read it here or f150 online, but there is a relearn procedure for the compass you have to do...its like driving in a circle or somthing.

does everything else on your console work?

I'll look for it later but if I remember correctly in the owners manual is a set to adjust compass for different regions and also another one that will help your compass relearn something about driving in circles at like 3mph or something like that.... I'll have to look for my manual when i get to my expy again

the only thing that works on the over head is the lights the aux heat does not turn on and the compass/trip doesnt turn on i think i may have the wrong over head as i dont have rear vented windows but it has the switch and all wiring for them but i had seen a overhead at junkyard that doesnt have them and only has two plug spots for the aux heat and a plug for the trip/compass my only thing is that i can not find one plug that is supposed to clip in right above the screen i have all the plugs for rear heat and for rear vent windows which my truck doesnt have cuz if you look at rear windows they dont look as if they open
