Hey guys, i have a 2000 auto gt and the traction control off switch/button stopped working. by stopped working i mean the light doesnt illuminate any more and from what i can tell it doesnt work when i push it.what exactly do these switches do? do they lock the rear end to allow both wheels to spin at the same rotation speed or are they usless? and how do i fix the switch. thanks in advance,

no. when the computer senses a wheel spinning, it retards timing to reduce power. has nothing to do with the rear end. im not sure but you can check to see if the T/C button has a specific fuse for it and work from there. To me T/C is important because if you want to race you wont be able to launch. If its raining, you most likely want T/C on.

that was my thought. also when it was off before i could only get 1 wheel to spin. are we supposed to be able to do duel wheel burnouts? or no? what could be wrong here?

i have a 2000 mustang gt automatic and i dont have a t/c button....

yeah you do, its next to the cigarette lighter right in front of your shifter. below the stereo.

1 wheel spinning means you need your trac lock rebuilt

is that really expensive? or what? can you tell me what i should expect to pay?

also do we have limited slip differentials or what kind of diff is it? what allows both wheels to burnout at the same time?

nope i dont have traction control i dont have any buttonsby my cig lighter , and i know what your talking about kas my friend has an 01 manual gt and has t/c but i dont have it, i tried to take it off manually with my tuner but someone had told me it doesnt help because i dont even have t/c as an option on my car

thats weird, was it an option instead of a standard part for that year?
