I may have some moisture issues in my display. Because sometimes frost appears underneath the main screen. And in the little circles where there are warning lights there are a lot of moisture droplets. Today the display even shut off on me but turned back on. Any suggestions?

take it off and bring it in the house. Let it dry out real good and put some clear silicone along the outside where the two pieces match up.

Make sure when you put it back on the rubber boot is sealed.

Damn. Looks like the rubber boot wasn't sealed! It's thawing out now. Will there be any damage or should it be fine?

You should be fine just do what 07fx4stroke said let it dry out.

I would not use it untill it is completely dry.

Just sitting it upright and leaving it sit should completely dry it out right? How long would you think it would take?

make sure the plastic isn't cracked. That could be where the moisture is getting in.

Yeah the plastic looks to be uncracked. The boot just wasn't secure so I think that's what happened. It seems to be drying out nicely.

I'd leave it for at least a day. A damp circuit board will cause problems, if not now, in the future.
When you do put it back on, and it works, i'd think you would have no long term problems.
Can you ride without it? Or won't the sled start, or run or something? Maybe put your speedo by a heat register in the house?
I tried to start my truck one time after i swamped it. It fried the computer. The mechanic told me if i wouldn't of even tried, and just let it dry off, i could've changed the oil and been on my way. Anyway, that's why i suggested leaving it for a while. That and dropping a cell phone in the shitter, lol.

Yeah it will run and start but idk I'd be skeptical.
