as above ^^^
i have the racelogic traction control system on my car and i think that the fuse may of been pulled from the standard system even tho i cant find where the fuse goes lol.
when you push the TRC button no light comes on when you push the SNOW button the light does come on.
iirc the abs ecu and TC ecu are both together so i cant remove that as i'd have no ABS Confusedad:
but i do think that the standard system is cutting in over the top of the RLTC which doesnt make a recipe for fun :ohmy:
anybody help???
thanx in advance

Right how i did mine was take out the traction control switch,

cut the Green and red wire and solder it to the white and black earth wire (dont cut that wire though as you need the earth for the "snow" mode as well.

Now im not sure what the other garages (ToyotaGT, and SPC) did (or who installed it) but thats the best way to disable it,

there is no fuse for the Trac as you rightly said its all attached to the ABS system.

You really need to take the speedo out and see if the bulb is still there or not (or if the light green wire going to the speedo is cut) to figure out why the lights not lighting.

What ive just told you to do is the same as pressing the button everytime you get in the car, as all the button do is touch the wire to earth. It needs to touch earth everytime the cars restarted to turn it off.

Let me know if you need anymore info or help.

(+ dont forget the rep Wink)

If you dont want snow mode then you can in theory do away with the button. then you can never push the snow button and never put it in that mode

Its just one wire to solder to earth its a Green wire with a red strip, needs touching to earth (the white wire with black strip is the closet)

So it does light up at the start but not when you press the button?!
hmm, take the switch out and see if all the wiring is there.

All wires intact fella.
Not sure if it's been cut further in but certainly doesn't look like it.

Do you know who installed it?
