I didn't have to pull a fuse, just hold the traction control button down for at least 5 seconds and it all turns off :D and its time to send those rear tires to Hell lol. But if you don't want to go sideways and out of control in a high speed turn than let the computer get you around that curve.

On the 2012/13’s, holding down the traction control button for 5-10 seconds will turn off the stabilatrac. I picked up a 2011 county sheriff’s department patrol unit and I believed they “turn it off” by unplugging a front wheel sensor at the wheel bearing. I would not let anyone else in the family drive it as it could get real squirrelly on wet roads. It was fun to drive on dry pavement though😁.

my car spent its first year without the two, and then one day i must have jostled it back into place while messing with it because i suddenly had both functioning

i was able to do burnouts before i accidentally fixed it.

a couple months ago i had it on a dyno and i couldn't run because the tcs ws kicking in, so i got under there and unplugged the angle sensor and it worked (or didnt work) just like it used to.

afterwards i plugged it back in and it went back to normal

Where is the angle sensor? Cant find it anywhere on the steering column. Am i looking in the wrong place lol. 2011 ppv
right in the column under the dash, theres a plastic box around the column with a plug on the bottom
