Default Stuck Traction Control button
Hello everyone, I spilled some coffee on the traction control button of my C7. After drying up the area I pressed the button and it never depressed. Oddly the traction control is not enabled, which perhaps means I have bigger problems. First things first, any recommendations for unsticking the button?

Maybe try blowing compressed air for electronics in there like you would use for a keyboard.

I agree with the contact cleaner - hopefully that would unstick the button.

Another option is to get a new switch --> $28.12

This is for a 2017. Just use the year of your car,
