welcome to the forum...
If you have the TC option the button should be located on the center console ( see attached picture)
As for the DRL, check the bulbs and check the fuses, also check the e-brake switch as some DRL's are turned off/on depending on the position of the e-brake

1. I'm not seeing a button on the console anywhere.

2. Bulbs are good - High and Low Beam. DRL indicator blinks several times. Emergency Brake all the way down, switch checks out.

There is a Daytime Running Light resistor just inside the left front wheel well liner that has went bad. The symptom is the DRL indicator blinks several times and then goes out. Replacing the resistor will solve it if need be. It only affects the DRL during the daytime. the resistor when it is working reduces the voltage to the headlights so they are about 1/2 brightness.

Thank you...
Seems you need to pull the bumper to replace that thing... Anybody got a part #.

Also, I found a pic with the traction control button online, I don't have one.

Can I Hack one in, or is it just not an option?
