That's the culprit. Surely can't be those Armour-All wipes.

Not to be "that guy", add on for the damaged buttons and rotary knob). A repair kit for the buttons and and knob exists, but it's way over priced as it comes in a fancy case with tools. Replacing the entire unit with a core exchange is cheaper regardless if this is a DIY or dealer job.

OP definitely has my empathy as we all make mistakes. Let this be a lesson for anyone who stumbles across this post, if the Air Freshener is the culprit and contained 2-Butoxyethanol, pain will be felt.
