A/C Button Sticking

Hello!

Does anyone know where I can get the A/C control panel for less than $200 from the dealer?

The button is sticking and its driving me insane! I have push the button in, pull it out, wiggle the damn thing to get the A/C working.

Just don't turn it off (fyi, it reheats air in winter, so it makes sense to keep it on)

YOu might also be able to pull of the front yourself and just clean the button, it usually dirt build up that makes buttons stick.

Auto or manual AC? If the former, email or PM me. I've got a spare for way less than $200!

Get some plastic safe electronic contact cleaner...and clean it!!
I bet the button is gummed up with coffee/soda that splashed o it from the cupholer...heck mine has been sticky from that...I just clean it...and it is fine till the next splash!! I guess I have to buy bottles and put the top on before I take big turns/bumps!!
I have tried a few drops of water, and even a drop of wd-40...then contact cleaner to dry it out....just use a TINY amount!
