Direction indicator (compass)

This indicator is located on the rear view mirror. Could the reason it stopped working be a fuse? Battery??

Here are the instructions to reset flashing airbag light, the instructions are for an Armada but I believe it will work on all Nissan models of this period. It wont hurt to give it a try. If that doesn't work you may have a problem that should be looked at by your local Dealer.

>>>
1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

2000 Mercury Grand Mar Quis LSMultiple things stopped working at same time

Changing a serpentine belt shouldn't affect any of the electrics. Changing a starter only carries a risk when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery before and after swapping the starter motor. Done correctly that risk is low.
So, No clock, no heater control panel, no rear view mirror compass and both power door locks don't work? Does the car still start and run normally? Do the power windows (if fitted) still work?
This still sounds like a fuse issue. How did you test the fuses? Fuses can look OK but still be 'popped'.Somewhere around 2001 some changes were made to the fuse box layout on that model. Is your dashboard fuse panel the smaller square 18 fuse panel or the larger, longer 32 fuse panel?

I have 2002 Yukpn Denali XL. There is a OC code that appears in the rear view. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it?

The "OC" indicates your compass is "Out of Calibration". Below is the proceedure to recalibrate your compass.

Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if:
 After five seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (N for North, for example), there
may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the
compass. Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder
or a similar magnetic item.
 The compass does not display the correct heading
and the compass zone variance is set correctly.
In order to calibrate, the letters CAL must be displayed
in the mirror compass windows. If CAL is not
displayed, push in the COMP button for approximately
eight seconds or until the letters CAL are displayed.
The compass can be calibrated in one of two ways:
 Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
until the display reads a direction, or
 drive the vehicle on your everyday routine and after
several turns the compass will become calibrated and
will display a direction.

Good luck.

2003 H6 Outback Wagon. The rear view mirror features a compass that does not accurately show the proper direction. I have read the manual and attempted to recalabrate without success

if all other functions operate then mirror should be replaced,make sure no highway speedpass devices are located to close to the mirror
