Lincoln MKZ dashboard warped with malfunctioning compass requiring replacement on Lincoln MKZ

Some Lincoln MKZ owners report experiencing issues with a warped dashboard and a malfunctioning compass that requires replacement. These problems often stem from the compass module being integrated into the auto-dimming interior mirror, which complicates the replacement process. Owners may need to recalibrate the compass by adjusting for the compass zone and starting the engine; however, if errors persist, disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes may help reset the system. Additionally, some models have the compass module located inside the mirror housing, necessitating the replacement of the entire mirror, which can be a challenging task due to the difficulty of removing the stock mirror.
