spilled coffee on lock button!!!
 

locking and unlocking doesnt work now cause i spilled coffee there. is there any easy way to fix it? its bothering me to open doors each time.:(

Maybe pop it out and clean it out with really hot water for a while, then fully dry it out. Worth a try.

arg....i have to try right now

You can carefully take the switch apart with a small screwdriver or small blade to inspect/clean the internals. But hot water works better than any cleaner I've found for spills like soda or coffee...

it was so disgusting when i switch apart the parts to clean inside. i just cleaned with hot water for about 20minutes and waiting to be dry for few minutes now. hope it works....

good luck!

Did it work? I try and try and try and try to get my wife to NOT drink or eat in the X. I will show her this post now, thank you.

yes it works! by the way its my gf who spiled the coffee haha

:thumbup:

I've got another thread running where I have some issues. I just remembered that we did have a coffee spill in the center console about a week ago...I wonder if it could be related
