Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: traction control question

« on: 29 November 2009, 20:46:58 »

quite a few ex-police cars have the TC buttons removed!

iv been told this before but they wouldbt remove the wires would they

Depends on how brutal the techs were!  Either side cutters through the wiring and taped up or switch removed.  Dash area then reassigned to an alternate purpose - vascar, force radio or whatever - and bits removed at decommissioning and subsequent sale to Joseph E. Public......

iv taken the surround off and traced the wites and i cant find any cut wires any were

so if they have taken them out they did it properly

If it has TC it has a TC switch .. might just be in a different place to that piccie ....

You say the TC is cutting in .. I take it the TC light flashes at you and the engine "bogs down" a tad ??

yea the light flashes on the dash and yea it bogs down

the pic on there is a facelift 1 im not sure if its ment to be in the row with the hazzards ect or if its ment to be fittid next to the stereo because its got that bit missing
