As I recall, the compass is part of OnStar. Dump it and the compass is gone. But of course, that doesn't explain coming and going. So, I would ask if OS is doing the same; if so, it might be somewhere to start exploring if no one offers a specific answer... . Good luck.

The compass is based on the GPS. Does your compass read N , X, or -- all the time? There are various connectors that could be loose or intermittent.
I had N all the time after a windshield replacement on my 2014. The connectors were disconnected and reconnected and all was OK. The N changed to the correct direction after driving about 100 ft.
