this has been bothering me for the past few days

while i was installing my MGW, i noticed behind the dashboard plate that you remove, there is a plug for the cigarette lighter, but i also noticed an even larger plug for something else, i DONT have any buttons like t/c or anything that would use it. the plug is just randomly plugged into the back of the plate. what the heck is it for? (99 GT)

It is the wiring harness for the traction control, on 99GT's (and perhaps others) Ford only had one wiring harness regardless of which features a particular car came equipted with.

^^ Yup, thats what it is. Cars w/o TC have that plug. Which you can use for a Electric bottle opener if you have nitrous. Thats what my friend used it for in his 02 GT.

Thanks to my Diablo, my button's been glowing orange for the last 2 years . Once upon a time, I thought I'd try it in the snow, so I turned it back on during a snowstorm. I was first in line at a traffic light, it turned green and by the time I got to almost the middle of the intersection (with the t/c going nuts) the light had turned back to red. I let off the gas, switched it off, floored it, let the tires dig in for asphault and got thru. The heck with t/c!
