Do you guys have a flashing symbol for Loss of traction?
I was searching for exhaust clips when I noticed this guy has a flashing symbol when he punches it and losses traction. Looks like what you would expect, just a car with the swervey trails behind it and its flashing in yellow. Heres the video so you'll no what im talking about! http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...fRoadHPipe.flv
Im in a 05 GT with traction control and the uprgraded dash if that makes the difference or not, but ive lost traction plenty of times
but never seen this!

try doing a burn out with TCS on then you should see it
I guess some are more sensitive
spray water over and around each rear tire then feather the brake and ease on to the gas till you can tell the rears are turning then ease off the brake and floor it you should see it then

Yep, mine flashes at me when the traction control is kicking in.
Do you have TCS on when you're punching it and not seeing the flashing symbol, or do you turn off TCS when you're driving around (in which case, there will be no flashy light)?

Ive lost tracting in both scenarios with and without tcs... My stangs a 5speed would that make the diff? I noticed I lost one other option when I sold my auto 05 and went to the 05 5spd. ( That was the auto door lock when you roll like 15 feet or somethnig) Anyhow I wonder if its broken??

hmm, well if you have never seen it and you actually have looked for it.. i suppose it could not be working. im no tech so i really have no idea on that. Do you have an aftermarket tune?

RE: Do you guys have a flashing symbol for Loss of traction?
My stang is actually BONE STOCK!!! Ive been riding around for a little while without muffs b.c Im in between diff exhausts, started with the macs now im trying slps, but anywho I wonder if Ive shorted the car? Once when I was installing the exhaust I disconnected the battery and when I was doing it there was a spark and the horn chirped and the what not.... Im not overly concerned but I find it kinda ironic...
