Default Sticky climate control buttons

just purchased this 2016 and I think the previous owners coffee splashed into the buttons only the recirculating, passenger heated seat and ac button stick to where they don’t like to come out. Now I haven’t taken the dash apart but is it easy to do and does the module come apart so I can try and clean it?

I'd search youtube for some videos of the dash disassembly,-components in the dash removal, you get the idea.

I think I would use it as an excuse to get a Tornado T010. If you have an air compressor this is the best tool to use to detail the interior. I use citrus cleaner in it.

The panel does come apart, like it was said. Flip it over, you will see a bunch of screws to disassemble it, take pictures as you go, something to have to reference to when you reassemble it. The only thing you need to watch is when you put the dials back, so if you don't have to disturb them don't. Under those push buttons is a rubber switch assembly with all the real contacts, the coffee won't get into that.

Thanks for the tip I did see how to take the dash apart on your tube. I got the answer I was hoping for that I can take it apart and give it a rub a dub dub
