Default 87 Climate air push button problem

Hi All,

Had an odd thing happen to my climate air push buttons. My passenger had a coke in the cup holder and it tipped over and spilled some coke in the row of the climate air buttons. Now the buttons are sluggish or stuck from the sugar in the coke. Is it possible to remove the CC unit and clean up the button slide area ? The CC works perfectly other then that.

Thanks,

Don in VT

Yes, use distilled water, not tap water, or use alcohol.
