Yes, I'm sure it will!

Nothing worse than having a bug die on top of your DIC!

Have you thought of spraying your DIC with pesticide to prevent this from happening again?

Was it a Lady Bug, a Cockroach, or a Fruit Fly?

You need to take your car to the local Mr. Goodwrench, and have him "debug" your vette!

Some how I got a lil 'post-it note covering my VIN, can't get to it to get it out! I guess a "post-it covering your Vin" is better than a "bug on your DIC"...

Too funny...but, still it is a good question. The inside surface of my instrument cluster seems to be kinda dusty?? What is involved in getting to it to clean it and "get the bugs out"?

That would drive me nuts. I'd have to take it apart and get the bug out

But I'd probably drop in one of the hydrocarbon instrument clusters while I was at it

Peace
