You are correct, on the 2001 just activation of the OBC system will not result in any display; there must be either a momentary switch attached or the fourth stalk, which is nothing more than a fancy momentary switch. If you remove the switch, the display will go dark. Once the switch is installed and system activated, the display will retain the last setting on restart of the vehicle.
