It needs to be re-set? You can scroll down the Menu and re-set the period for maintenance. It has several potions. Unless you already tried to do this.

What Dave said...

On the same subject though; what would cause the overhead display to take about 5 minutes to, well, display?

I have a black screen for a while, as though it needs to "warm up" before it tells me the temp and direction, and such.

In your 94? I'm not surprised. It's probably tired electronics; capacitors and such. After all, it's 22 years old. Take it apart and check the connections and clean it.
