Well the car isnt my daily driver. Usually sees about 50 miles a week in the summer and a little bit of track time. So its probably gonna be annoying to me forever....unless I forget to turn off the TCS, which also happens occasionally and then I'm annoyed for a whole new reason....lol. Ron

Having the light on doesnt really bother me. On T/A's does the swith itself have a light like the Camaro? On the Camaro you really dont need the light on the cluster because the button will indicate it's position. I wouldnt want to have to guess.

heres a hint: if you dont ever have power running to a certain accessory (TCS in this case), that accessory isnt ever powered...
ie: no power to TCS, no TCS
ie: no power to TCS, no TCS

Does your throttle cables go to a big can right behind the battery? If no, then no TCS.
Or do you know that you have the TCS and are just not sure it's working?

TCS BAT , You can pull fuse and don't have to worry about always turning off when starting car (seen guy try burnout at woodward cruise and his WS6 fell flat on its *** in front of a ton of people and thought thank god it wasn't me) I run around with drag radails and the traction control comes in nice when I get stuck in some rain so thats where I came up with the idea with the switch inline of the TCS BAT power side of the fuse.Anyone ever have your car fall flat because of TCS?
