Default Radio is acting up

I decided to clean the HVAC and radio today and now the radio buttons are not responding. I cleaned the radio the same way i did the HVAC and that works like new. The radio will turn on and has volume and the tuner **** but all the buttons wont do anything. I decided to pull the fuse to reset the unit and the buttons are still not working when i tried to unlock it so now im f'ed.

First of all, how did you clean it? It sounds like you short all the buttons on the radio.

Worst comes worst, ECS sells OEM Sypmhony for $40 bucks I believe.

I'd try to put it out in the sun or use a hair dryer. If that doesn't work then you might want to order than new one.
