What is it doing/not doing? Are you trying to use it while driving at speed?

When you start the car does the PDC have a long 3 second beep and a flashing PDC button? If so, you need to scan the sysytem and see what is complaining. If you don't have a proper scanner, go and listen to each sensor and see if they are clicking when you place your hand over the sensor. (You need to place your ear 1-2" close to each sensor)

The button won't work at all. It won't even engage in reverse. No lights appear. Im not sure what to do, but just replacing the system.

Complete failure sounds like the control module in the rear. Get back there and make sure the wiring is correct and no water damage.

PDC should activate automatically when you put it on reverse. You need to check it with proper diagnostics. Though now that there isn't even the warning for faulty system by flashing light I would first check fuse F6 (PDC module supply) and if that's OK also check that the module is still connected.
