Welcome to the site!I have an 02 Gt with the t/c.All i do is push the button and the light comes on.Maybe check and see if the connections are good/or the button is good.
Help with turning on/off traction control
Hi, I have a 2000 3.8L 5sp GT Clone Mustang and yesterday I was fooling around in a parking lot so I figured I would turn off the TC. This was the first time I tried it and when I pushed the button nothing happened. I know my idiot light works b/c it lights up when I start the car. Is there something special I have to do to turn it on/off? I was wondering if anyone could have possible solutions to my problem.

check if your o/d off comes on your dash when your turn the o/d off.
my traction control light on the button and the o/d light on the dash went out at the same time. my computer started going bad.
usually just have to push the button to turn it on and off

Can you get the tires to spin when you toggle the switch? If so then I would suspect the LED light on the switch is bad. Otherwise further diagnosing is needed.
Your idiot light doesnt come on when you push the button, it comes on if the tcs senses wheel spin. Does the light on the switch come on?

well my light is always on, even when i press the button nothing happens, it stays lit. which leads me to believe that the switch doesnt work so my car is stuck with TC on i believe.
Hmmm... Can u take the switch off and test it with an ohmmeter with the power off or even a test light with the power on?

Yeah I have the same problem with my 99 cobra. The light is off and I still can't spin my tires. I mean they will spin but then hop. When I turn the light on it does the same. It sucks because I can't do a burnout.

Is the ABS light on the dash on? If not, does it definitely work? If there is a problem with the ABS system the TCS shuts off automatically! Let me know, if this is the case i have something else for u to check.well my light is always on, even when i press the button nothing happens, it stays lit. which leads me to believe that the switch doesnt work so my car is stuck with TC on i believe.

Yes, I had a bad rear carrier bearing and while fixing it something happened to the ABS sensor. The ABS light is always b/c of the sensor but they still work. According to the post from 02silvergt this is the reason for my TC switch not working. If this is my problem is there a solution besides getting it fixed?
If the light on your tc switch is on then the tc is turned off at all times. You cant turn it on if there is a problem with the abs sensor since the work together. Take a look at the sensor on the wheel which you had the problem. Make sure that the sensor is clean and see if it just isnt too far from the sensor ring.
