Default Traction Control; ON or OFF?

When I turn on my stang the traction control button lits up for a few seconds and then turns off. Am I correct in that if the button isn't lit up then TC is ON? If I push it and it lits up then I turned it OFF?

STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD! Any reason why they automatically turn it on from the factory when the car is turned on? Also any way I can have it off when I start the car so I don't have to switch it off everytime I drive?

Most handheld turners give you the option to permermidently turn the TCS off.

When you start the car its on to push the button tunrs the TCS off.

Yeah, you can buy a tuner and turn it off using that. But then you can only turn it back on by using the tuner.

its better with it off. if u get some tire spin, it will pull power. for me if i leave it on it pulls power through first, second, and and through a little of third cause it wants to get loose. off IMO unless u are in the rain or smthing haha.

it sucks so bad because you get the hard jerk from shifting and then you get thrown forward from the TC
