DSC button doesnt work

I recently dropped my car on some coilovers, my DSC button worked just fine before I took it in, and now the button doesnt work at all. DSC is still on but when I press the button it doesnt do anything, Ive even pressed and held it for about a minute and still nothing. Do you think something needs to be reset, cleaned, replaced or could my shop possibly have broke something?

ive had to do a 500 mile trip a couple days later and it still doesnt work.... i have no traction lights at all on, the dsc is on bc when it rains i like to have a little bit of fun, but its no fun when the traction is always on..... there wasnt any interior work done. after doing some research a wheel speed sensor may have been damaged so my next step will be checking them out

Check the fuse box. Last thing I thought to check when my button stopped working but the fuse was missing. Can't remember which one it is but the chart will tell you. I think mine fell out when I was replacing a blown one. Worth a shot! And could possibly save you some money.

My buttons don't work either. I hate to also bring this topic back from the dead... But I really need help figuring out why my HK and DSC buttons dont work. I need to smog my car (California) to be able to register it, but they wont smog it unless they can turn off the DSC. And I only have like 4 days left! Ive tried the fuses and checking the switch... The fuses were good and there were only 2 switched on that bar. One long one with a lot of wires, and another smaller one. And the back of the button was a PITA to get to. Please help.
