Stability control disable

[Andrew C]

Hey y'all. I'm up here in the frozen north and I have an overwhelming urge to rip some AWD donuts but this dam stability control won't let me. As I'm pretty sure I don't have the performance package (no fancy button to disable everything) is there another way? A tune ? A neat little hack ?

Remove the abs fuses

Try putting it in "sport mode" with a double-click of the traction-control button. I find that it acts more like a locked diff (both front and back), and can easily do donuts. But then, I could be wrong. I've only had 3 PP's, so no idea what a "normal" SHO does

true as far as i know theres no way to keep it off unless you have a pp.

Ok i have a 2013 sho with PP and it doesn't have either the ESC button "advance track" nor the drivers asst traction control in the settings.

Can you post a pic of the hard button layout on your SHO. Some of them apparently were missing from factory, and had to be corrected by the dealer.

Do you have a button near the power point under the climate control buttons?

My 2013 had the traction control button down there, just like my 2016 PP and 2018 PP, and double-clicking it like the instructions said didn't not give me the "advance trac sport mode" prompt on the display, but it did seem to take affect.

Conversely, all three of my PP's do not have a setting on the displays. Only the TC button.

Why are you sure it's a PP?

 

[GUSTAVO CORNEJO]

I have dropped off the Sho at the dealership so they can figure it out. I tried having parts order a switch but they tell me that car doesn’t have the button. Smh!

What's your steering wheel look like? I'm wondering if you got the wrong sticker? Does it match the VIN on the car?

[GUSTAVO CORNEJO]

Yes it matches the Vin my steering wheel has Suede inserts. I can take a picture of the steering wheel but I’m driving a loaner car at this point.

I wonder why your PP came with the 19 inch wheels. I have never seen that before. The missing button is weird as well.

 

[GUSTAVO CORNEJO]

My SHO came with factory 20"

 

[SM105K]

Your window stickers says 19 inch, but under the PP it says 20 inch. Interesting. Mine is different and I have a 13 PP as well. I will load my window sticker as well.

 

[SM105K]

Here is my window sticker. Mine doesn't have the 19 inch rims mentioned like yours does. Interesting the verbiage differences.

also the issue is that the parts dept doesn't have any part number for the switch. they told me that i would need to get a picture of the back of the switch with the ford part # on it. smh

After I typed "that's ********" and erased it, I realised they are corect. The specific wording is corect. The switch cannot be ordered alone. It has to be ordered with the panel. So it will come with the advance track button and rear glass shade button. Not alone. I'll see if I can find a part number
