If you are planning on getting an intake and tuner then I believe you can just have the person who makes the tune turn off TCS.

Works like it is supposed to, but no light in the instrument cluster, even when losing traction.

I noticed mine would blink so fast I could never catch it, while still paying attention to what my car was doing while tractionless

, but it does light up on test.

I think many of us do the same thing (including myself)....

To the OP - take the car to the dealer ...problem solved!

haha, i had that happen to mine. no button just a black spot. i just got the 3 switch panel from ford for 40 bucks.

i had no desire to send the car in for warranty work. more economical and practical to buy the switch and replace it myself.

so far the two of us are the only cases i have heard of this.
