Stuckintransitconnect Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I have a 2013 transit connect that was just purchased in November of 2015 only 32,000 miles on it. I just experienced my first snow and the TCS would not allow me to drive in 1" of snow on a slight incline. The vehicle literally shut down all power to the wheels and I had zero control. This quickly became a dangerous situation with other traffic driving on the same road as me but could not move. I just spent all this money on a work van for my small hvac business had shelving installed and I cannot use it to get to customers homes. I read in the owners manual about the TCS off button and then saw it on eBay. Ford customer service has no clue and neither did two dealerships. Anyone know of this mysterious TCS off button?

Precisionair Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Installed this switch to interrupt power to traction control module located under console... Works great, but warning light remains lit in instrument cluster until restart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
