spilled coffee and my emergency signal switch is not working
I have 2007 S550 and accidentally I spilled coffee on the centre console. ALl bottons stopped working but they went back to normal working conditions except the emergency turn signal( the red triangle one). Any idea what went wrong and how to fix this. The turn signals work fine and I assume the fuse is fine otherwise if it is fuse issue the turn signals will stop working to right??
Any help is appreciated and thank you.

He could try taking out the hazard flasher switch, soak it in water and let it dry over a period of several days before popping it back in. Was there any sugar in the coffee? Had this happen to the window switch in my W140 which had NO cup holders.

KNBS550 the button itself works but the function( the hazard signals) does't work, so it is not stuck. I found used switch for about $200. Is it worth it?

I'd wait because there will be that perfect hazard switch on Ebay in the future and it will be less than $200. Even if they want $50, it's still better than $200.

Disassemble switch block and check ribbon cables & connections underneath.
