message center

So about half the buttons on my message center no longer work, including the oil change reset, which is really irritating because every time I start my car it's ..beep "oil change required." Is it possible to take the thing apart and clean it or something, or do I have to just try to find one that works?

I'd try to take it apart and clean the button contacts first. If that fails, I saw several on eBay relatively cheap.

Half of my buttons don’t work either I took it apart several times and cleaned it with elec. contact cleaner, don’t expect too much of a difference.

Just take a small flat head and pry up the front of it, do it slow and don’t force any thing after you get the front up pull towards you a little bit and the back should pop up then UN plug and pull out. I think its just some locking tabs on the underside of the buttons. Just use a couple of small screw drivers and get it out clan it and pop it back in

If that don’t work you can pick one up on e-bay, don’t worry about color though just make sure it’s for a 93-96. The part you need is under the buttons.
