Default A/C soft touch controls

Guys....is there any cleaning or adjustment to be done to the climate control head on a 96 ?

Most of the time the control head works pretty good, but yesterday it got a little persnickity and took several minutes to decide to engage the AC. Acts like it's just dirty contacts or maybe loose or dry rotted vacuum lines.....never had it apart so I don't know. suggestions ?

later, tiny

Does your temperature change when you try to raise or lower the temp? Mine would not so I followed this procedure to clean the contacts now it works like a charm. Follow the procedure on the last post.
