01-02 VSC off switch

Here's a pic of how I finished my switch:

I've done the AndyMod too (thanks Andreas)! Up until the last couple of weeks, it's worked very well. Then, it started coming on (defeating VSC) for no reason. I thought it was the switch and replaced it. Now, it's on all the time. Any ideas?

emptypockets,
I found the wiring at the pressure switch to be very sensitive to bad connections. I initially crimped the connections and also had issues similar to what you describe. I went back and soldered the connections properly - no issues for years.

yes we have the trac off switch, doesnt work all that great though, only works at the first 20mph, then it turns itself back on, not like DSC is for bmw where you can turn it off permenantly.

mine switches off after about 20 seconds

i just open the hood and disconnect it when i want it off (im that lazy )

I think this makes us lazy for not wanting to get out to unplug it and istead wiring up the switch. LOL

Ok, just called the dealership. It is $60+tax. Yikes. So unless you can pull one off at a junk yard, (which where I live, it'll be next to impossible finding a 2WD 4Runner), just get that fog light switch.

Same problem re soldered the connections and no problems since.

Just finished my first mod.





Now I've got to get a proper label.

Very nice!

I made my label by scanning the actual Toyota "TRAC OFF" switch which I had purchased before the mod. Since I was was never able to make the stock switch work, I sold it on Ebay.

If I can dig up the image, I'll send it to you.
