Those wires are very fine and easily break. Under the center console is where to look.Does your fuel door still operate? Check for codes in the DIC.

Yes you do it is built in known as the DIC with the engine running press and hold the fuel button (right side of the speedo cluster) while pressing 4x's the options button. Write down what is displayed.

confused If Traction Control won't turn off, then you shouldn't normally be able to spin the tires much. confused Can you explain a bit more what is going on? If you hit the button, was it toggling on and off on the DIC? As Leadfoot mentioned, are there any codes stored?
