Re: 1964 Dodge Polara Heater Defroster and AC push button

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

Any reason WD-40 wouldn't be advised?  You might try shooting some
compressed air behind the buttons or wherever you can get back there
from.  Then some WD-40 or graphite.  Then spray some more air to
spread it around.  Could save you some money and trouble if it worked.
