Default Traction control switch not working

Out of the blue the traction control switch on the center console wont engage anymore. No illumination and it wont light up on the dash(gauge clister) either when i press it. Spoiler and door lock switches on either side work fine still. Any ideas would be appreciated. I couldnt find any info on this.

Check the fuses first, I think fuses 17 and 18.

That is a switch that turns it OFF not ON.

Could be the traction control relay in the relay control module.
That usually causes the spoiler to permanently deploy and the ABS/EAS fault light to illuminate though.
You could open the RCM and check to see if the relay is closed with the ignition ON.
