what goes next to ECS/traction button in 2010 LT's?

Took the trim off again to wire my voltage meter.

Noticed wiring AND a second spot that was equal to the traction and ecs button

Any ideas what goes next to it?

Where can I buy one? Is it easy to install?

Any idea where the end of the wire goes?

you can either buy a new bezel with the fog switch or attach an aftermarket switch on top of it and run the wiring...i hear (but not sure if true) that all HHR's have the fig light wires for the lights behind the front bumper also
but you can buy a fog light kit off ebay, comes with housing, bulbs, wiring, instructions, and button also

Well it seems there is a plug which is the exact same as the ECS control so I assumed that they just used the same wiring for all cars.

Makes me wonder how much they would charge to have that added from the factory.

I don't think I could make a clean enough hole if I drilled it myself.

I also don't think I want to buy a whole new bezel just for one switch when I can install a rocker or toggle switch myself.

There is no wire harness for fog lights behine bumper on a LS, 1LT or 2LT unless it has fog lights there... The harness for the switch is there but in ends at under hood fuse box where the relay for fogs plugs in. The harness from there to the lights is not there. Plus you have to have them turned on with a tech 2 if you install all the parts. I have done 4 HHR's 1 06 ,two 07's and one 08. they were all the same. the 06 did have the relay and fuse all others did not.

I don't think that the harness your going to get will plug into the fuse box but maybe. you have to split the fuse box to get to where you plug in.
