Orange light on TCS switch not working After disconnecting the TCS switch when I pulled my console out I put it back in and the TCS and ABS INOP lights came on. Checked the fuses, disconnected the battery, replaced burnt out 3rd brake light bulbs, tried everything I could find on the forums and still nothing. Then the other day it started working again, then it stopped. The lights are off on the dash, the TCS and ABS are working as they should. However, the orange light on the switch is not working. I know that this wouldn't bother most people but it annoys the hell out of me when I can't figure out what is wrong with my car. I even got another TCS switch from another member thinking that the light might have went out. Still nothing. The car is a 96 and when I put a center console in from an 02 I used the newer TCS switch that came with it, just cut the wires and spliced them to the new switch. Has worked that way for the past 10 years. When I spliced them I just used butt connectors. Thinking this was the problem I removed the connectors, soldered them back together, and used heat shrink. Still no orange light on the switch. Any ideas?

Ive checked the wiring 3 times and the fuses. The battery died when i tried to start it while the abs inop and tcs off lights were on. Think that could have affected the bcm? I also had to push my car out of the garage while the batt was dead. My wife sat in the car and pumped the hell out of the brakes to stop the car when I pushed it out. Not sure if that caused any issues, but when I got in the car the brake pedal was hard as a rock.
