Hazards are not working

Just found out the hazard button isn't working, Is there a way to check it or trouble shoot?

Here’s the part number, pop the waterfall and double check it’s plugged in.

ok, I know it was when I was trying to get to that actuator... Ill check it again soon here as I always made sure they locked in place when reconnecting.
also that traction button does nothing but the foglight does work.

I think 2 of the buttons have the same connector. I seem to remember someone mistakenly switched them. Something to look for.

I seen that and marked them with tape (A) and (B) so I wouldn't mix them.

You've only owned the car for 3 weeks, do you know if they worked before?

What do you expect the traction button to do? You should only notice it when driving uphill on ice, or driving on a road race course (like drifting corners).

It is still a place to double check , it would not be the first time connectors have been connected to the wrong connections.

Well honestly I don't know on this car.But my buddies Grand Prix GTP has it and you press it for better traction so you basically don't spin the tires launching.... LOL But it also comes on automatically when roads are wet/slippery, it lights up if tires start breaking free from the pavement. This HHR it doesn't come on when the button is pressed and only time I seen it was a couple times on the dash when the anti stop brakes kicked in on some loose, rutted driveway leaving a lot or around a hard curve? It just seems to be an annoying attention seeker rather than useful ?
