Post by: combatkev82 on 20 January 2015, 14:46:12

Afternoon all

Does sound like a sticky switch :-\ easy enough to remove and test it :y

Can't think off hand which ones would be suitable - I assume most of them, but you just want to pop another switch out and swap it, to eliminate / prove it's the switch at fault.

Sounds more likely that there is a fault related to the TC. Might be worth checking the ABS/TC ECU for codes.

Doubt its the switch, which is a simple PTM, non latching

I haven't tried that hard, but even with the TC off, the Insignia simply refuses to let go...
