Default Can't turn TCS

I bought my 94 sc300 about a week ago. I noticed i cant turn the traction control off. I push the button and nothing happens. I hate the way the traction control system steals power form the car as i go to pass someone. Can i pull the fuse for the traction control or will that mess it up? I took off the radio/shifter trim to make sure the button was pluged up and it was.

you can always disconnect your traction control, but i think then the trac light will start flashing.

Hey, I had the same problem with the Check engine light on also with the traction control on. Well what I thought was O2 sensors for the check engine lite then I thought hmm maybe it's a short wire or something.

I found it out to be a battery problem.

Try this:
1st:Unplug your battery
2nd:Take some sand paper clean the Posts then connectors and tighten them as hard as you can
3rd:Take a socket I forgot which one exactly looks like a 18mm? and hammer the connections down on the post.

All those problems were fixed for me.
