This sounds like traction control at work. Happens with my car all the time if I change too hard (both up and downshift).

If it`s switched off, no. Is the TC light permanently on :question

[elite col]

no light not on and switched off

does the fuse for it do abs or anything else?

TC is always on unless you press the button to disable it. When disabled the light comes on to show that it is disabled.

As Andy says. Light on TC off. So you haven`t switched the TC off
