Toyota Repair: Dashboard removal, coffee on the dashboard, 2006 toyota tacoma


Question
I just bought a used 2006 Toyota Tacoma and all the buttons on the dashboard stick. From what I can tell it looks like the previous owner spilled soda or coffee on the dashboard. How do I remove the dashboard to clean it or is there a better way to fix the problem?  

Answer
No that's what you do. You've just learned the #1 cause of electrical, and mechanical failures inside the cab of a vehicle. :) Sugar from drink splills. ;)

Hunie I can't walk you through it. I haven't had to take one apart yet.

If you can't get your hands on the 2006 repair manual. I don't know of one online. If you can't find one, you can download it from techinfo.toyota.com
Sorry, but that's the best I can tell you Cindy.
