Default Re: Traction control!!! Truly shut it off

It should be safe to do. It will enable the amber warning light on the instrument panel which could get annoying. But without actually testing it there is no way to know for sure that the base braking system would still work.
Anyone willing to test this can simply pull the #3 fuse ENGINE BLOCK FUSE BOX. I am not sure yet what other items this controls. I will see what else I can find on this fuse.
Re-flashing the ECM might work but will the re-flashing of the ECM take care of the programming in the CAB?

I disconnected the #3 fuse by removing the 8mm nut and setting the wire off to the side opening in the case to the far left(drivers side) which was vacant and just tightened the nut back on the fuse. After driving the car for about 3 miles it was great............NO traction control interferance...........then I hit the freeway and BAM it went into limp mode. I had to pull over and reconnect the wire and everything has worked like it's supposed to since. I hate having to push that damn little button every time I start the car. I have the ESP/BAS completely disabled in my Charger which gives me full control over it and it's never gone into limp mode.
