need some help on wiring

[koepfsm]

I was trying to put a switch in to fully turn off my traction control, and i could not figure it out. Ive looked at all through the history about doing it and still I am lost so if someone could post some pics on how they did theres that would be great ---- or some step by step instructions

Instead of messing with wires why not pull the fuse from the box?

i have the pictures to do a little write-up for this on my girlfriend's computer.

run fuse taps to each side of fuse 16, deliberately blow fuse 16 and re-install. Run the wires to a switch inside the car with an inline 5 amp fuse on them.

it will allow you to turn it off and on without getting out of the car and swapping the fuse.

so by just doing that to the fuse that will work

how will i know if it works.........
will that triangle light come

and by doing this will it fully dis in gauge the traction control

you said fuse #16 in the box on the driver s side closest to the fire wall right

oh and i was reading that if you did pull the fuse that your abs wont work either is that true

yes- it turns abs/esp off together. You will know when it's off because you will get the abs/esp warning lights on the dash. You will not get the triangle though.

do this absolutely at your own risk and for your own reasons.

[koepfsm]

so you said that you installed this in your wifes car............. also will i also want to hit my switch that on my dash that turns the triangle

If I were you, I won't touch that subject specially you don't know what you're doing.

[koepfsm]

well what should i do then cause i just put nitrous in my car and and i dont want to run it with my traction control on ........ the only time i would turn every thing off would be at the drag strip

[Logic]

sounds like another cru328 experience we are going to encounter here:confused:

[koepfsm]

whats that mean

[JRE320]

If you can install nitrous in your car so you can also install switch... :rolleyes:

[koepfsm]

what i mean is cru328 did the same thing as far as NOS , pretty much what you did but after all was done his car was pretty peppy but then started to run into trans problems , etc etc from doing what you are doing.

[expo5.0]

it's a different fuse in your non-C43 car?
