Sounds to me like there is no problem to solve... However, I do want to switch it all off and try to spin the tires, see what happens first hand.

Would love to have a service manual online for free if its available, could you post a link to the one you found?

Also there is a TSB out for the traction control, but it doesn't disable it, it just makes it not so ridiculously sensitive with bigger tires. Makes for daily driving a much more pleasant experience ... dunno about snow though ....

That answer is too easy. Why push and hold when you can cut up the wiring harness and remove fuses? It's not like traction control is there for a reason...

This last winter I was playing in snow and did the same thing and was able to have all sorts of fun without it kicking back on!

I don't understand the need to find a fix to disable the system. My 2011 can disable to a level similar to the Raptor, and if you need less TC than that something is wrong.
One quick push of the button and TC is turned off and you can spin all you want as long as you keep it straight and don't kick in the ESC or RSC. 5 second push and you disable all 3 until higher speeds when the system kicks in with just enough limits to prevent you rolling over or spinning around at speed.
You need more than this then you should get a drift car.

Default Off isn't "Off"?

The manual says you can disable the TCS and stability control by holding down the TCS button for more than 5 seconds... It will re-engage above 35MPH...

I'm not saying that it's a great system but there is a way, or so the manual says, to turn it off. There's even a table of what is disabled and how in the manual.

This works




But being 2wd myself, I plan on installing a kill switch to that fuse in the near future

it only works to 35 mph, so once your burnout hits 35 it kicks back on and your fun is over for at least 5 more seconds, lol!
