Default Traction lock auto disable

Hello,

I just purchased a 1999 mustang GT and still can't get this smile off my face

I noticed the traction lock option/button always defaults to "on" when the car is first started. I'd prefer to have it off at all times and have to keep pushing the button to turn it off before I start driving.

Is there any way to have this feature disabled entirely or at least to modify it to not turn on by default? I though about pulling the fuse for it but the fuse also supports the instrument cluster as well.

Thanks,

techsent

u only need to turni it off when your gonna race or do a burnout. Its safer to have it on at all times other than those.

get one from a speed shop (if you have one locally) On the net you aint gonna save a dime. Plust the shop will give it to you same day with tunes. I talked the guy into 3 tunes when I bought mine. I think he was gonna give me two.
