Coffee on intercooler spray switch
Has anyone else had to replace their intercooler spray switch due to spilling coffee of anything on it? 2 days after I got my EVO someone cut me off. I had to slam on the brakes and dumped my coffee all over the switch. The sugar froze it up so I had to replace it.
Just curious if anyone else had this happen?

i spilled juice in mine and it got hard as ROCK, but it would work if u press the SH*T out of it. So i did the old "my playstation controller buttons stuck" trick. Get the button, get a toothbrush u dont use, dip the toothbrush in hot water and scrub away at the button, after that, button works as if it was new.

yeah it is very prone to food and drink spills. i have had ice cream spilled on it and it is a little difficult to push now. Cleaned as good as i could but guess i didn't get it all.

I used to get coffee locally before my morning commute...after spilling coffee on a daily basis in the cupholder area and intercooler button, I decided to wait till the end of the commute to get the coffee. 
I never even use that switch though, but last time I checked it was fine.

I posted about this very thing a couple months ago. So funny that so many people have experience the same silly thing.https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...e+spray+switch

This thread makes me feel sorry for older Saab owners. The key in those cars was actually mounted in the center in a small dip in the center console. Slop too much coffee and you can't start your car! What a bad design!

LoL
I spilled coffee(it was Starbucks btw LoL) in there ONCE....ONCE...after that..no more drinks in the EVO......
Luckily I got on that spill immediately and cleaned it. I would reccommend to wrap wads of napkins around the cup in the holder and cover the top. Drink and sip at your own risk!
