ORIGINAL: shigmonty

the T/C kicks on when the traction breaks loose, but it bogs down so bad that it almost stalls. The light turns on when it is suposed to, but there is no way for me to trun it off. i'm going to take it in and have it look at. soon.
[/align][/align]What "light" are you talking about?--the ABS light on the instrument cluster or thetraction controlon/off light in the switch?[/align][/align]The LED on the switch is ONwhen traction control is OFF, the "idiot light" in the cluster is ON when ABS or traction control is active--or-- when there is a problem with the ABS or traction control system.[/align]

i think the problem might be the nitro system thats in it. there are a few wires goingto the T/C switch and to the system and one of the wires are bareaand not hooked to anything.

Strong possibility. I've had issues with wiring to the TC switch doing exactly what you say.

While your at it, inspect other possible issues. Maybe a dirty or malfunctioning wheel speed sensor, since thats really all that fails on ABS systems.

Same place as the rear ABS sensors, in fact the "traction control sensor(s)" are the rear ABS sensors...
