Did you try taking out the middle console and removing the switch so you could look at it more closely? I dont know. It could be anything that is making it stick. Good luck.

perhaps you spilled soda on that area. We fixed ours by removing the switch from the console and cleaning it by opening it. And yes, it is soda.

its easy, just open the console cover and unscrew the 2 screws then the other side is held by clips so just pull up with some force and itll come off. then just push the little square piece up and thats all

Actually use a butterknife to pull the switch up. You don't have to remove the console or anything like that, just use a butterknife and pry one side up then the other. The harness is long enough to extend 3-4" above the console, more than enough to unclip the connector.

if you don't want to use the butterknife method of areet you could remove the center console/armrest (whatever it is) by unscrewing two screws found inside the center glove box. Once unscrewed, lift up the whole console starting from the back (a little tug towards the back will help). You don't need to remove the console just lift it high enough so you could access the underside of the console beneath the IC spray switch. Pushing up from the underside will pop out the switch. Unclip the switch from the harness. The tricky part is prying open the switch assembly.

Thumbs down

i tried the butterknife technique but just to try and clean out the sides of the button.. very bad idea i scraped up the side kinda bad. The other techniques seemed difficult for me..well probably because i am afraid i will mess something up and the sprayer wont work..but i'll try the other ones just to see if i can do it..Does anybody know where i can get this button.
