traction control button inoperative
Traction control button not working. Is there a fuse or something else I can check before I bring it back to dealer for service? Traction control and active handling kick in but pressing button does not disable either function.

There doesn't appear to be a separate fuse for TC/AH. Have you done any work on the console? Maybe you loosened the switch - I had that happen to me. You can also try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnecting to try and reset the computers. Remember to re-index the windows if you do.

Just to confirm, you're saying that when you press the button, nothing changes on the DIC, right?

My button actually came apart when I tried to unplug it during MGW shifter install. I was looking at the blue LED and the button internals. Fortunately it reassembled (snapped back together) without incident. If you've had the console apart, this may have happened to you.
