Hi All,

Bit of a strange one. I have a 2006 forester 2.5xte but there is no traction control disable button. it just has a blank where it is listed as being located in the handbook (by the fog light switches). I cant find anything to say some models did not have a switch to disable traction control either on the handbook or online.

Just wondered if anyone could shed some light on this. should it have and a damaged switch has been blanked off or did it not from the factory and if so can this be rectified by adding a switch somewhere or will it be embedded in the cars software. i have checked to see if it could be as simple as running a switch to interrupt a fuse but it seems there is no fuse to control the traction system so again makes me think it must be a software controlled system.

any info would be of great interest.

I had hoped there might be a way like that.
i'll see if it does the same for my forester and if i fit a switch to "remove the fuse" at least it wont be to annoying only having no power windows when its switched off.
