It randomly started and it was just on when i turned my car on one day and when i clicked the button nothing happened, it didn't blink or anything. so, i know it's electrical but it will occasionally turn on and back off again. I'm not sure how to solve this issue.

The first thing we need to do is a CAN scan to see what comes up, if no codes are found I would replace the switch. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

You will need to remove parts of the center console to fix it, please check out the images below and let me know what happens.
