YEa, it is possible to recalibrate the compass. It is covered in the owners manual. If you don't have the owners manual, post up. I can check mine this week sometime for ya.

Don't think you can recalibrate the outside thermometer, but the compass is auto-calibrating. Unless the zone is wrong, all you should have to do is drive in a tight circle 3 times and it should come back in.

1996 Blazer Owner's Manual... Hope that works... It's from the http://www.MyGMLink.com website. Just register and add your vehicle. It's quite nice actually.

Anyway, what you want is on pg 109-110 of the pdf file (or 2-51 to 2-52 in the actual manual) or just look at the 2 attached images below...
