Coffee in console buttons not working. Help!!

Well I was driving to work, coffee went down the wrong pipe and then everywhere. The buttons in middle console were working until I cleaned them and blew out with air. The buttons are freed up, but none of them working.... radio, nav,cd and dial. Any suggestions? Thank you

Use electronics contact cleaner- probably stuff in the coffee probably dried and now insulates the contacts.

If you bring it to a dealer it could get very, very expensive- and they might blame this for any future electrical issues.

Make sure the contact cleaner you use is labeled as safe for plastics -- some use aggressive solvents that will damage plastic.
