Enter button on jog dial not working

[jpamperin]

Hey guys,

Just bought a 2011 4.6L sedan and I’m liking it so far, except for one little thing. The enter function on the jog dial intermittently works, and then it doesn’t. I notice it the most when I start up the car and I can’t get the display to change out of the “don’t look at the screen while driving” screen.

I’ve looked through previous postings, but don’t see any previous mentions, so I apologize if this has been covered before. I’m hoping that there’s an easy fix other than replacing the console.

Thanks for your advice!

Found my answer on previous posts. There’s some sort of contaminant/oxydation in the button. Working the button around seems to have cleared the schmoo. Contact cleaner has been ordered and I’ll have to dismantle the dial and clean it once the cleaner arrives.

Thank you! I'm having the same problem and will try your solution!

It works, but you have to reapply it every so often. Usually gums up again when it gets really hot outside.
