sticky buttons

[Bert Man]

Unfortunately spilled a little bit of soda on the buttons surrounding the DIS knob. All the buttons function fine but some of them don't move as freely as they did before. Basically its hard to push them down and they return back up pretty slow.

Any way to clean underneath there without pulling apart the console?

Do you think compressed air could work?

It worked in my case but on a different car. First, I sprayed it with windex, waited approx. 15 sec. then I used compressed air.
Not sure if its safe to use this "technique" on DIS knob.

I really dont know if those buttons are made to pop off like on a keyboard. i did try to pry up the bluelink button on both sides and it didnt come off.....afraid im going to break it

Thanks for reminding me! I just went outside and sprayed my sticking seat heater button with WD-40. All done! Which buttons were you referring to?

wd-40 huh?

blulink, map, destination buttons

Not sure there's anything that WD-40 can't cure; maybe my clumsy fingers on the keyboard;sorry.

Wd40 worked for me...spray a little, hit it it with compressed air to move it around under the button and push the button a whole bunch.
