Hot Buttons???
Has anyone noticed that the Traction control & Fog Light buttons are hot to the touch? Noticed this on the way home, every other control on the IP is fine, but these two are hot. just curious

Mine do as well. The fog light buttons in my Camaro's always got hot too, it's gotta be a GM trademark.

The button on my PC monitor is warm. Might be due to electrical current. Or GM and Dell are conspiring to create more global warming.

Mine are hot enough that I worry about them melting. Dimming the instrumentation reduced the heat a little, but they're still way hot whenever the instrumentation lights have been on for a while.

The steering wheel audio controls on my Camaro get really warm, I rest my hands over them when the weather's cool, and end up accidentally changing track. The ones on the HHR are cool though.

Mine are warm not hot. I don't worry about it I' not going to hold my finger on it for a extended time anyway.
