there's no switch to turn off the traction control on my 07 AWD, is it hidden somewhere? If I put a switch on the wire leading to that fuse, would it just defeat the TC or would the VSC also not work, if this thing has it. I want it off sometimes, it in deep heavy snow or when pulling another car out of the ditch

I must not understand how traction control works, because my mind is asking
"why would you NOT want all available traction when pulling another car out of the ditch?" ???

I was thinking the same thing.

because it cuts off the throttle to idle, sometimes you want a little wheelspin. I find when the car is in deep snow i'd also like to shut it off and use my devices to decide how much gas it needs. I generally like it but in real low traction situations I want more power going to the wheels then it allows. I'll try jumpering the two wires and see what it does.
