Default 98es trac cntl, but no off switch?

I have traction control, or at least I can see I have the icon on the dash, but there is a blank knock out where the switch is suppose to go.

Is there a way I can install an off switch?

On another note, I have driven in the snow and not once have I seen the dash icon light lit up? I have broken traction many times...trying to get it to light up.

Which leads me to believe that maybe I do not have trac control...
Is this a possiblity?

you don't have it. trust me your not missing much. Its pretty useless except very occasionally while starting off on a flat road in the snow. On hills it just kills your momentum and on dry pavement it just bogs the car dangerously from take off. I leave it off.
