Default DIC Options Rotating Display

The car sat for 10 days while I was on vacation. Now when I drive it, the different settings under Options rotate through the DIC. This rotation is fast at first (one setting per second) and then slows down to rotating at a much slower sequence (1 minute or more). I have tried to reset the options with no luck. I thought it might be a low battery, so put it on a charger overnight, but the problem remains. None of the buttons (fuel, trip, etc) will respond either. I checked the fuses in the box under the passenger foot board and all are good with no signs of corrosion.

A search of the electrical sticky and this forum in general did not bring up any similar problems.

Any ideas would be greatfully appreciated.

Chuck

PS It is a 98 with 115K miles. No previous problems of this type since I bought it in 2000.

Sounds like the options button contacts are sticking and scrolling through the choices.

Default Thanks

Can this be fixed DIY or do I need to take it to the dealer?
