So it looks like the previous owner spilled some soda or something sticky all down the right side of the radio and climate control. All of the buttons on that side were suck (pscan, scan, rbds, and all the buttons on the right side of the climate control. I popped out all the buttons on my symphony stereo, cleaned them and put them back in, fixed the radio. However the buttons on the climate control dont seem to want to pop out.. I'm trying to take out the up and down buttons to clean them. Has anyone ever done this before? I dont want to pry on the buttons too hard and break them if they aren't meant to come out.

 

Run a search. The same thread was discussed last week.

 

Try spraying Radio Shack contact cleaner.
