I think we all agree most dealer techs are idiots, so . . .

I recently had scheduled maintenance, drove off the lot, saw the info screen flashing 0:00, could not scroll through the options (MPG, AVG MPG, etc.). This is now the 3rd time this dealer has screwed up reconnecting everything. Do not even want to go back there. Is there a way I can fix this at home?

try pressing the trip computer on/off button...

it sounds like the default drive time reminder was set to 0:00

Agreed (since I've done this myself.) Fairly easy fix.

Are you referring to the button on the underside of the wipers lever?

Yes, but no luck . . .

The reason I think it is a more extensive issue is that the right and left turn signals will stop working or blink erratically as well. Sounds like it's just an electrical mess.
