Sound like it needs to be calibrated/initialized. Drive around in a circle until it stops.
And no, I'm not kidding

You need to calibrate the compass... See page 185.

No, that's how you disable the day time running lights.

Yeah, but does it turn them on if you didn't pay for them?

Mine did the same. See the manual page 185 and 186 Calibrating The Compass (deviation calibration) to make sure you're in the right zone, then see page 187 for Calibrating The Compass (circling calibration). Note in the middle of #3. it says "It flashes when circling calibration is not completed". That took care of it.

If you don't have DRL driving in a circle activates the very cool MYD (Make You Dizzy) system
