Default A/C Switches 'sticky'

Anyone else have this problem? The OFF and A/C pushbuttons on my 94 climate control don't work very well. I can push on them as hard as I want, and sometimes they won't activate (turn the AC on or off).

But if I punch the side of the dash where those buttons are, and then push the on/off buttons, they work absolutely fine.

So far, the smashing of my dash is working, but maybe it won't in the future... anyone else have this problem, and what did you do to resolve it?

I had this problem in my 95 and what I did was buy one off ebay for $40 and it works as it should now. After I did this I found out that you can take it out and open it up and clean the electronics inside and it should work. Look at it this way, if it doesn't work you'll be out nothing.

Default hmmm..

I wonder if I can simply get some of that compressed air that you use to clean out computers, and spray that inside the cracks between buttons, etc, to maybe dust off the inside electronics...
