I have a theory that it's caused by the cold. Not like it gets real cold down here in this part of Texas but I've seen it happen three time in the dead of winter. Maybe it's just a coincidence

For the last 5 winters my Boxster has been stored in an unheated building which can get well below -30 F throughout the winter. No issue with my gauge cluster.

I store my car in an unheated garage during the winter. It gets pretty cold up here in NY. A few years ago my cluster had the worms after winter storage. I didn't fix it and by the middle of the summer the worms were gone. It has been a few years and they haven't come back. This is on the older style cluster, my car is a 98.
