Just recently the start-up diagnosis display is sometimes acting weird. Bad display with lines and mutated characters and animations, but then sometimes just fine.
The process checks out o.k., and runs fine, but would be hard to read if there was a problem to report.
Any tips on what to check, fix, or replace would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Sounds like a dodgy connection on the display. Oxidised contacts?

Excellent thought. I'll check and clean all of the connections I find under the hood. I imagine it would be one of the larger ones.
Thanks.

Bill, I think HOK was referring to the connections on the display in the dash instrument panel. I had a similar problem recently in that the onboard computer consumption indicator was making it's own values up. Took the instrument panel out, cleaned the contacts with a pencil eraser, resoldered a couple of dry joints and replaced, all working correctly again.

Thanks,

I had the same display problem on my '91 100Q. It turned out to be the connector plug on the back of the Bose radio was not fully seated. On mine the radio station and band is displayed in the multifunction display if no error codes are being displayed.
