Default Traction control
well I just bought a 2002 Pontiac Trans AM it was broken into and is missing the traction control switch bezel and the wire pigtail connector for the traction control switch ... I cant find anyone that sells the parts to fix it ...

Does anyone know where I can find the parts to fix it?

My understanding was that the dealerships could get parts for 10 years. I have yet to strike out on anything that I have needed. If your local dealership (Chevrolet for me locally) says they can't get it, try another one. Your car is still just 9 years old. Good luck!

That's not good. I don't like hearing that. Thanks for the info. Sounds like you may just have to take a few hours and hit the salvage yard in person.

So you need the bezel and the wire that connects the switch to the harness? I'd try GMpartsdirect.com...

Just go in the sale section and look for the parted out cars. It's going to be hit and miss. Some will cut, some won't. You won't know till you try.

PM BADBOYZ28 or Ego Killer. I swear those guys have a damned salvage yard at their houses.
