So...I do this how?
I am going to try that. If it works, then I am wiring in a toggle switch.webeproducts said:Back to the non-electronic method. I heard that you only need to put a plain old toggle switch across the push button. Flip the switch so that it's made, and your taction control will be off. Flip it so the switch is open, and the traction control can be turned back on. This is easy to test. Hold the button down and start the car. If the traction goes off, then a toggle switch will work.
The down side of this is that if the car is running and you open the switch, then the car won't go back into traction control. You will have to push the button once to get it back on.
if you don't understand what a momentary contact switch is , then you sure don't need to be buiding an electronic circuit. A toggle switch will not do it. If it would , there wouldn't be a need for the unit being sold. The factory switch would be an on off switch and we wouldn't be discussing this.vipergts281 said:I am going to try that.

And the downside is nothing. I have my traction control off 99.9% of the time anyway.
I wouldn't define "wiring in a toggle switch" as building a electronic circuit.forpit2000gt said:if you don't understand what a momentary contact switch is , then you sure don't need to be buiding an electronic circuit.
Well I'm only going by what a guy, who does sell those units, told me.A toggle switch will not do it. If it would , there wouldn't be a need for the unit being sold. The factory switch would be an on off switch and we wouldn't be discussing this.
Ok, but you are saying that a toggle switch will NOT work? Are you sure about this?forpit2000gt said:I can see that you know what you are doing, so when you get it working, please post what you did to get it to work. I was not flaming you, I have looked at the factory wiring of the switch and see how it works.

The memory function is probally a small battery that keeps a certian Flip-Flop to a certian postion. Reverse Engineering something like this should be easy. Heh just give me a few weeks to get the cash to buy one and I will do it.
