[aliphp]

Dear All,

I want to clean the controls in steering wheel " by using contact cleaner "
how can i open the controls ?
i tried to open the 4 screws behind the steering wheel and pulled the controls. but that didn't work.

any ideas ?

I don't have an answer, but be extra aware of the air bag when messing around with the steering wheel.

Traditional contact cleaner used for older TV or other type rotary rheostats, switches, and the like have some harsh chemicals that could affect today's plastic. Do you have a Fryes store near you? They used to have products that claimed not to damage window switches or buttons like I imagine is in the steering wheel.

Radio Shack products (if they still have this in their stores) may or may not be too strong.

If you can find a old time TV, radio, rebuilder, or electronics shop (possible ham radio repair) place. They might have something the right strength to buy.

Thank you DRS for your reply, but the contact cleaner i use is for electronics.
my problem is that sometimes when i click volume up button on the steering wheel it's not work .. and sometimes it's work with hard press on that button
