Default please help...i can not turn off traction control

so i took out my instrument cluster to get all the dust out of it, and now my traction control button/light doesn't work. it doesn't light up and i am unable to turn traction control off. it just always on now.

i read somewhere you have to replace the whole instrument cluster which i find to be completely ridiculous. Does anyone know a way around this? perhaps a wiring schematic so i can just connect two wires so it says its off or something??

please help, thanks a lot

Something didn't get plugged in correctly or the 15A T/C fuse under the dash is blown--did you disconnect the battery while you yanked the cluster out?

+1^^^. Taking the cluster out & putting it back is pretty straightforward. If worse comes to worse, & you somehow FUBAR`D your cluster, I replaced mine in my `00GT with a set of lunar gauges, & its still around here somewhere. I`ll let you have it for the price of the shipping if you need it.

ya i unplugged the battery, and there's only 2 plugs in the back of it. and i checked the fuses. The guy that dyno tuned my car said he would turn it off completely for free.....so once i get around to it ill have him do that.
