My center console buttons have been working intermittently. This is a great thread on how to replace the buttons. But before tackling the job installing new switches, I thought I'd give it one easy attempt at cleaning the switches. And after a month, I can say it has worked for me. YMMV! Pictures shown are from a '98 LX470 but the same method applies to all years.
Parts needed: D-Series Deoxit D5 (or equivalent), suitable ball point pen/mechanical pencil (preferably clear housing), latex gloves (optional), air gun/blow dryer helpful but not necessary.
Step 1) Disassemble center console/climate controls until you get to this point. Careful with the electronic connectors.
Step 2) Find a sacrificial pen/pencil that fits over the switches. Cut it down as such.
