T/C button stuck!

[mars6484]

Hey guyz

my cars previous owner I'd say spilt some drnik around the gear stick where the T/C button is and it is sticking and very hard to pull back out once pressed. Sometimes it also turns on and off by itself as the button is having difficulty operating smoothly.

Just wondering if anyone had an easy way to fix this, like pouring a little bit of some substance that would dissolve the drink making the button stick a bit? or something?

I really don't want to go to the hassle of pullin apart the centre console and cleaning it manually if possible, or if this is really easy if someone can give me tips on that, would also be great!

Thanks!

Really easy to remove the console:

Probably also going to be the best way for fixing it :P

I have a feeling pouring more liquid into the button will only make things worse...

Liquid (water etc) and electrical components don't go together. You are likely to short everything on the curcuit. Bad news. Expensive too !!
