Traction Control Button not working
It seems that i cant turn the traction control off, its not the little bulb i checked it and i took the T/C button apart and it worked once i pushed the little button manually, but as soon as i put it back in it didnt work, so i took it apart once again and it didnt work at all, i checked the fuse, and its good. any ideas

Ctl-Alt-Del then Shut down, restart.
There is more than one fuse, i believe.

RE: Traction Control Button not working
I have the same problem. Which fuses should I check? And how do I get the switch out to check it over and the little bulb?

RE: Traction Control Button not working
you have to remove the whole plastic thing around the shifter put it in 2nd or 4th or if auto leave it on the 1. then disconnect the cigarett lighter and t/c button (this only applies to some mines a 99) t you could see ithink is a blue and black circle on one side and remove it by twisting it counterclockwise and they come right out. and as for the fuses heres a link

Meh, i had the same damn problem. I think 99-00 GT are prone to the switch failing. Find a new switch!

My bulb never worked in my '00 GT. It was a guessing game. I hate the TC button in the pre '01s.
