So when I bought my car it turned out some schmuck spilled what seems like coca-cola on the heated seat switches . I know how to take them out, but how do I take them apart without breaking them so they can be cleaned?

 

Use a set of small screwdrivers, like a watch repair set. It should just pry apart. Take your time and don't lose any of the small parts inside the switch.

 

What he said. I have done it, one started working and one did not. Be careful not to lose little parts.
