Can't switch off traction control??!
« on: May 15, 2015, 12:46:48 pm »
Afternoon all,

I don't seem to be able to turn off my traction control? Checked fuses and they seem to be fine.

it kicks in so I know it works, but i can't seem to turn it off on the button under the head unit?

Any ideas?

Is the button definitely connected?
