I've had the SLP fan switch in for a couple of years and never had any interaction between the fans and the TCS rocker switch. I do have it mounted right beside but have put ample insulation in there.

Are you sure there isn't a wire shorting against the other switch or similar?

SLP makes a TCS switch too. Did you install that instead?

You got a wire that shouldn't be in their mixed up in it .. It has to be. The fan switch doesnt do anything with traction control

From what I remember, the install is very straight forward. Basically plug and play. Only part that left room for error was the grounding strap. Is it possible that you had a ground come loose?
