A few years back I had a tracker unit installed in my car, while the technician was installing the unit somewhere under the steering wheel he somehow managed to damage the Traction control Switch.

He did tell me that he damaged it and told me that he put it back together (either through soldering or I don't know how).

Either way the car now sporadically switches traction off and I get the traction control off light showing up on my speedo. I have to press the traction control button to switch it back on.

I have been living with it over the past few years but now I am driving the car more often I want to fix the issue.

Does anyone know if I can change the traction control switch and wiring assembly easily? would it be a simple change over? (i.e. take out the old switch, follow to where it is connected, disconnect and install a new one? or is the traction control wiring a pain to replace?)

If anyone has any diagrams on where exactly the traction control wiring connects to that would be helpful.

Or if anyone can give me the part number for the traction control button and wiring or diagram I would really appreciate it.

Been looking through my wiring diagrams since last night, and so far I haven't found anything.


TC switch

Thanks mate, I've been looking through megazip and found the same part number no, appreciated.

Would you happen to know the part number for the wire that connects up to the TCS switch?

did you click the link in my reply? I think that’s the TC switch.

Yes I did and I ordered the switch, now I want to order the harness/wire that connects to the switch just in case I need to change that too.

The harness is the main harness in the dash. It's huge and expensive. You'd be better off finding the intermittent failure point and fixing it properly unless you're ready to pull the dash and install the main wire harness. There are a very large number of possible part numbers for this, and the only way to know for sure is to look at the label on the harness you have so you get the same one again. That means dash out, inspect part number, order harness, install harness, install dash and you're back to OEM good. I would just fix the poor connection if it were mine.

Thanks mate, I was hopeing that wouldn't be the case.

I've ordered the switch so lets hope that's the issue at hand and so that I don't have to look into pulling the dash out.

Hopefully its just a simple loose wire crimp or maybe the repair was just done poorly, which sounds very likely. Could be just wires were twisted together and taped. Good luck!

Hope so, fingers crossed.
