I just noticed there is a dead insect inside my instrument cluster.. in front of the tach but behind the plastic face... is there any quick way to get it out of there? it is mildly irritating.

 

Ewa that is majorly YUCKY!

 

lol how did it get there?

 

Cut a hole in the plastic and it out


hchhon

 

I have no idea how it got there! Luckily it is a small insect. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

 

the only way is to take your cluster out and shake it out

this link will show you how to take them out if you want.

oh just go as far as taking the cluster out and the front off if your gonna do it!

 

I think thats kind of cool. I've been riding with a dead bird in my front facia for like 3 months now. My friends call me Beast Master.

 

why?

 

Because it is stuck up behind the front facia (where the fog light would be) and I don't know how it got up in there or how to get it out. I guess it got sucked up in my lower grille, slammed into my radiator (no damage though) and slid down in there. I know I can pop that lower panel off, but it honestly doesn't bother me. Not hurting anything and it doesn't smell. Probably baked and mummified by the radiator. I feel bad about asking some tech to reach in there and pull **** like that out. I haven't checked on it in awhile but I'm sure all the feathers have fallen off by now and eventually he'll rot away and the bones will fall out.

At the worst they'll discover it when they change my timing belt in 9,000 miles.

 

be sure to post up pix of that.
