Now when fuse 18 is only pulled the orange abs and bas lights come on and the traction control cant be turned on or off. I can rev it up and drop the clutch and it will burn rubber as long as it can and chirp second hard. No signs of any TC. If i pull 17 & 18 there is no difference in launching.
Now as far as getting to redline in both instances I CAN. Pulls all the way hard with no problems.
Kind of weird that it wont let me rev past 4,300 EVER but i can run it to redline no matter what.
So what do you all think about that. Bone stock.

In my (albeit limited) time on this forum, there's 2 things you can count on...HDDP knows more about Crossfires mechanicals than you, and Andrew knows more about keeping Crossfires clean than you!
Maybe I'm wrong...but I don't think so!

Now when i push the button on the dash vs. taking out the fuses the cars traction control kicks in very abruptly if i try to launch it hard. With the fuses i get more than just a "few feet" i can spin them hard for at least 25 ft and scream them in second hard. Its a very noticeable difference.
But my car does go by 5,200 which HDDP said it couldn't with the fuses pulled. So i was just trying to make that point.
Unfortunately i still cant get past the rev limiter when in neutral and stopped.

Re: Disabling TC
I hate to say it...but I stand corrected!
I yanked fuses 17 & 18 and went for a drive...OMFG!!!
I still had control of the rear spoiler via the button, but the abs and esp lights were on in the dash.
I went straight to redline...grabbed second, and went sideways!
Then I went home to grab the camera!
Uploading to youtube as I type this...I'll update with a link when it finishes!

sorry about the quality...hard to hold a little camera and drive a stick on Michigan roads!

Re: Disabling TC
Hey fortknox 82,
I'd like to pull fuse #18 next time I take my 2006 base six-speed coupe to the strip.
Is that fuse under the hood in the electronics box under the hood ?
Or inside the car in the dash ?

Re: Disabling TC
I'm gonna say mine was an early '05. I bought it in March and it was already on the lot, so yea I'd say early.
Well I hope that's the case cause then we can just swap computers or something around that idea.

Removed fuses on my 2005 (May 2004 Build Date) SRT-6, ABS and Traction Control fault light illuminate on the dash. Full power all the way to red line! I was able to break the tires loose and slide the car at will and lock up the tires without computer intervention.
