Liquid Spill Into Heated Seat Buttons
When I first got my G37, I had coffee accidentally spill into the knobs of for the heated seats.
Anyone know if there are any long-term damages? I spilled it on the knobs, but tried to look underneath them and could not see any liquid. Maybe Infiniti expected this and designed some catch pans for the liquid??? |
I'd say you have nothing to worry about. Usually a spill in electronics will gum up a switch when it dries and can cause them to stick, most often seen on keyboards and remotes. I doubt any actually got in to the potentiometers and since you're not seeing any functionality loss and it's dried by now so nothing to worry about.

A friend borrowed my wiimotes and nunchuck, but when returned, one of the nunchuck button was stick and didn't work. I realized that it wasn't even my nunchuck, probably got mixed up during a wii party. To fix it, I put 70% alcohol in a spray bottle, then sprayed the crap out of the button that was sticky. After I soaked it, I pressed it a few times and eventually worked again.
So if the button / switch is sticky, I'd try 99% alcohol on the heated seat button / switch when the car is completely off and let it dry afterwards. However, I'm not responsible for anything that happens. I would do that to my own car. |
For keyboads and remotes I just take them apart to clean and alcohol works fine, here though if you actually did have a functionality problem with your pots I'd try electronic contact cleaner which dries in seconds with no residue. Problem would be access which is why I doubt any coffee actually got in the pot.
