Cup Soda fell into the car's central control. What should I do? Now everything is normal

Sugar dries to a rock hard like substance the switches should be removed and cleaned.

This is precisely what WD-40 is for (it’s not a lubricant).

Look up how to lift the center console, Usually on recent models, it literally pops up, no unusual tools needed. hit the connections with wd-40, mop it up.

Horses out of the barn and all, but I only take drinks into my cars with a Contigo (or similar) tumbler - push-to-drink tab and seals if overturned. Coffee from home in the morning? Into the tumbler. Soda or other later? rinse it out and pour it into it. Sounds obsessive, but it’s not a big deal and works.

There are few computers right under the cup holder. You REALLY don't want any liquid to get there. that will be $$$$$
