Default Traction Control not working.....

On my way home today a kid in a civic wanted to play so at the light i went to turn off my traction control and notice it was already off. I waited a few minute and pushed the button again and still nothing. What could cause this?

Probably better off having it not working. Check the fuse first though

Your right foot is what makes a difference in gas.

Mine seems to kick off when my ABS light comes on. The two are definately related. Thats about number 47 on the to fix list though.

There is nothing about the t/c that could affect fuel economy, unless you routinely break the rear-end loose with it off...

your abs module might be bad and thats some serious coin to get fixed. I found one of a stang with 200 miles on it that was wrecked and got it for $200. Ford wanted something like a grand or something.
