gummy seat switches, how to clean?

Searched and trolled, couldn't find an answer.

Soooo near as i can figure some splash over residue from a drink at some point, or just a fusion of grease and god knows what is under the switches gumming them up.

When its hot- they stick and resist, when its cold- there's a slight crunch, and when its in between everything is a-ok.

Any recommendations on what I could mist into the crevices to dissolve away some of whatever might be giving me trouble? My only fear is somehow shorting out the controls, but I figure I could resolve this by pulling the fuse before hand and not replacing until its had some time to dry?

Thanks for any help!

No expert here, but you could try squirting some contact cleaner down there, see if that frees things up. Good idea to pull the fuse first. The best course would obviously be to take them right out and clean them up properly.
