Hi Steve,
i had this problem on my 98 elite wether its the same issue im not sure but mine ended up being a slightly melted cable that goes to the switch controlling the rear heated screen,it must have been shorting somewhere making the display screen of the trip computer sticking on and off intermittently, sometimes on for hours , i removed the stereo unit found the melted exposed cable (must have melted from the heat off the back of the stereo unit or caught up when the stereo was installed) i cut the melted cable back and re crimped it to the cable coming from the  switch using a crimp and ratchet tool, luckily for me there was just enough cable to get the crimping tool into the area, reconnected and everything was fine. like i say this may not be the case for you but worth a look. good luck hope this helps.
