Default HELP - Traction Control, Or Lack Of It To Be Exact

OK so I noticed today that Twice when I got on the car it broke em loose and i did a burn out, problem is the TCS wasn't turned off. Now, my wife says "it didnt work when I went sliding off the road last week" but I believe that to be her inability to drive a performance car coupled with crappy road conditions. Personally, I haven't seen this problem until today and the only thing I can think of different is the upgraded instrument cluster I added a couple days ago. This is the first time I really got to "drive" the car since I put them in and it also happens to be the first time I have seen the car behave like this.

Has anyone else had this problem? The TCS light is off, I checked the switch and the light on it does work when its really turned off. I don't have any error codes or idiot lights on....... what gives?

Find a parking lot.. pour a slippery substance on the ground.. and try to burn out.. that will confirm it. Then take it to the dealer.

well i would think roasting them half way down the stree would count. it used to drop power instantly when the tires started spinning. cant take it in just yet cause my upgraded cluster has less miles on it than last time i was at the dealer. guess i'll just ride for now and if something drastic happens i'll have to take her in.
