If you wanted the limited slip diff, you would be stuck with traction control too.

I know that it is not coming on becuase the switch is being hit.

I've had my wife drive the car while I was in the passenger seat putting my hand over the switch and it would come on when the car would hit a bump. And once it comes on the car is useless since it thinks the wheels are spinning with the smaller diameter tires.

THe weird thing is that last year on factory diameter tires I never had any issues with it coming on. But now when I try going back to factory diameter tires, it still comes on periodically. It's almost like there is some learning behavior.

Excellent. Are the LED driven by 12V?

Lame =( I bought used, so I never saw the actual car options on paper. The LSD isnt very popular on this car from what Ive read. Driving it, I dont believe it would really benefit from one either, and I bought mine with FF275 already installed.

Looks like Charlie can disable it with a custom Gotham tune.

That seems like the easiest scenario to get rid of it.
