possibly it just came unplugged, no big deal.. take the 2 nuts off on the back end of the console. pop the traction control switch out and uplug connections. try and losen the other 2 nuts that hold the console down with out removing the center stack, and flip the console over, there is a flat plug that plugs into the switch, possible came unplugged.
Other than that, i have nothing.

Had the plug on mine fall out after installing a radio. While getting into the car I noticed that the fuel door was open. Closed it and it would not open after that. Removed the bolts holding the console down,lifted it up and reconnected the plug and it worked fine. The plug is actually a tight squeeze to get it into it's socket as they didn't leave much room between the console wall and the plugs receptical..

I’ll check that tomorrow. I did just redo the console, so maybe I made a mistake.

Yeah, can be a pain to get that sucker hooked back up. If for some reason that does not work, take a paper clip and use it as a jumper between the two contacts (I believe it's a four slot connector but only two slots are used) and that should pop the door. If that doesn't work, there is a cable behind the driver's side wheel well that will pop the door manually.

KNewblew:, thanks, the switch was disconnected. I had to remove it to plug the wire back in, but all is fine now.
