Sticky radio buttons

05 Vibe with 45K on it. As you know the presets are numbered 1-6 for the stations. 2,5 & 6 presets feel like you're pushing on a semi hard piece of bubble gum, almost like a can of pop was spilled and got in there. The 2 stays in the pushed in position so long when I push it that it makes the "beep" noise when you are setting up the stations and have to hold it in for 4-5 seconds. Any idea? Just annoying but it still works.

I would suggest spraying them lightly with electronics cleaner. Some silicone spray may work also.

oh, i don't know... maybe it's because i'm not used to that type of unit and have no idea what to do with all it's functions. i like those crappy aftermarket ones

Saw the title of the thread and was going to make the smart a** remark of 'stop eating donuts and changing radio stations'

You got soda spilled on it... I used to fix this all the time, But I would remove the face, take out all the buttons and wipe each one with a windexed Q-tip, both the button and the hole... there isn't a heck of a lot you can do unless you are crafty enough to get enough liquid in the cracks to flush it out, or take it apart and do the above..
