I recently bought a ex police omega with a lsd there was no traction control button to turn it off, and when the fuse is taken out the speedo doesnt work.  I then fitted tc button but iam still unable to turn it off help please its running my fun

or it may get moved by admin

I think if the car has LSD it wont have the TC.... maybe wrong :-?

With ex-plod butchered wiring, you need to find the wire. It will likely be behind the radio/switch area somewhere, else you need to run a new wire to ecu.

I would guess it isnt fitted with TC.

The ABS and Engine ECU has the capability, and it can't be disabled as a feature, so it should be do-able

wouldnt the TC sort of cancel out the effect of the LSD though? :-/

No.  They compliment each other to reduce wheelspin.

If you want LSD for drifting, thats different.

yh lsd near useless with traction control on
have seen some wires round near the headunit that have tape over them could be a possibility

Not for going faster round corners its not.  Fastest way around any corner on tarmac is with the back following the front

For RWD fun, thats different

Just trying to imagine the combined effect.If one wheel is losing grip the LSD transfers power to the other one,if the TC is reducing power to that one at the same time because it senses wheelspin.......sounds a bit messy?

just want it off for some fun, was to used to my old 3.2 mv6 at the touch off button, instead of pulling fuse out, wouldnt want it permanently off to scary on back roads in the wet lol

Post 1998 ABS/TC will try to apply the brake to the spinning wheel (only), so similar intention as LSD, hence why they work well together (to stop wheel spin, again, I'm not talking about the fun element here)
