I bought a 2014 1500 express about 4 months ago, I've had a few problems so far, I went to go tow a trailer and pressed the tow/haul button it didn't light up at all, neither did the traction control. but the trailer brake did work. i think ive checked the right fuses. the ones i checked werent blown. ive also pulled the panel for the head unit to make sure it wasnt un plug. i just dont know what to do.

Have you checked for any codes relating to loosing communication with a module? Do any of the other buttons on the panel work?

Ok, so the only two buttons you have on that lower panel are "tow haul" and "traction control" and neither are working?

It's 2 different connectors, one for the switch bank, and one for the trailer controller. You may have a loose connector.
