'94 E320 - Outside Temp - reading weird

[renyf1]

I just noticed this after getting back from a vaction (car sat for 2wks)

when I start the car the outside temp will display the temp but sometimes only the bottom half shows, counts up to + 130 F or down to -130 F ... after awhile the system corrects itself and all seems fine

i did a search and found this post 87 300e outside temp gage

has anyone else done this ? or maybe have pics of what i should be looking at ? or even the info mentioned in the old post applies to the 94 model ?

i dont think its the actual LCD screen as its not graying or blacking in any way

thanks in advance,
Ren
