I-COMM button

My I-COMM button seems to be stuck on. All the other radio control buttons are working ok. Do you think this is a cleaning situation, or do I need to have the radio repaired?

First, get you a stick of dynomite...

OK, have you added a dress (chrome) panel to the radio face? Might be sticking on that...
Next, you don't mention year of your 'Wing but Ma Honda's grease gets a bit sticky after 2-3 years. Get a good electrical contact cleaner and give 'em all a whiz. Probably time for all of them to be cleaned. Lots of guys on here are big on disassembling the switch covers/panels but I can get my nozzle (not THAT nozzle!) down in between the cover halves or in/around radio buttons enough to give it a spritz. Don't have to worry about that little spring flying away. Never had an issue with "too much of a good thing" but don't get carried away with the juice. Operate the switch several times after you spray. The kind I use is OK for use on/around paint but I wipe any spills up right away...
Good luck!!:thumbup:

!! Now I see it's an 05. Dope...

This has happenedto me also...

I live on a gravel road....sand comes up thru the forkin' hole and gets stuck in the audio control buttons....

I use a "bobby pin" that I ground down real thin and use it to flip those pesky little sand pieces outta the area beside the buttons.... (they keep the button from returning back up")..

Cheers

:confused: Okay, now I feel like a fool. I totally forgot that you have to hold the button in. I have not used the intercom in a few years. I must have accidently pushed it while cleaning recently. Thanks for all the help.
