Ok here's what I did. Went to the local strip last night for a little playtime. Pulled around the waterbox (street tires) backed up to just the edge of it, hit the button to cut the Trac-Control off (light came on). Since I have my daughter with me for the first time decided to smoke'm up real good (I know bad thing to show off) Made the rear end disappear in smoke and pulled up staged, made my run. Came around and got in line for my second run. Shut everything down to wait my turn. When I pulled around to stage again hit the Trac-Control button and no light. Did I little burnout and both tires spun but the engine didn't do that power drop thing it's supposed to do with the trac-control on. Went ahead and made the run (nothing hard just half throttle down the track). brought it around and parked it. Played with the button a few times on the way home and again this morning and still no light. any ideas

Maybe traction control still works if you could still do a burnout. But the light in the button stopped working.

is the green wheel on the dashboard on? you should pull the battery cable for about 30 secs or so , this will reset the computer. I had a similar problem and that worked, havent had anything go wrong after that.

Why did you only go 1/2 throttle down the track??? haha

The TC OFF light in the button on my car also went out...or I really screwed up something during my mgw install. I still have TC though, and I can still disable it.

If you try what's suggested above and still no dice, consider replacing the bulb.

The indicator is an LED built into the switch, as is the illuminator:



They are mounted in a manner similar to telco "punch-down" connections, the top LED in the photo is the t/c status indicator, the other the provides nighttime illumination. The white pin in the center is the switch actuator.

The pins are numbered on the backside of the switch assembly:

• pins 1 & 2 are the switch's connections
• pins 4 & 6 are the indicator LED (pin 4 is the cathode)
• pins 7 and 8 are the illumination LED (pin 7 is the cathode)

To test the switch connect a test light ot ohmmeter across pins 1 & 2, pressing the switch should close the contacts;

To test the t/c state indicator connect +12V to pin 6, and pin 4 to ground;

To test the illumination LED connect +12V to pin 8, and pin 7 to ground;
