JL kill switch for traction control ?

[ahmadtaha1988]

I use my JL for dune bashing, i am a newbie. Some of the more experienced drivers told me to install a kill switch for traction control (from what i gather equivalent to removing some fuse).

I hold the traction control button for 6 seconds and it turns off electronic stability and traction control. Is there really some component of the system which is still active and I need to kill it or is this a myth?

I'm pretty sure that that's it. I've seen videos talking about how if you have a Tazer that more gets disabled, but I haven't verified that.

Ahmad, you have a 2023 model. In the US I believe, but am not sure, they all come with an “Off Road+“ button. Pushing that button in 4H should put you in dune mode. Do you have that button? Other than that, the long-press on the traction control button, as you described, should do the trick. I believe all you have left at that point is BLD, but again, I’m not certain.

There are videos on YouTube that show how to install a kill switch for the traction control. ABS braking is part of it.

i have been told to install this. Anyone used it? https://www.amazon.ae/Automotive-Ta...cphy=1000013&hvtargid=pla-1456836773674&psc=1

Do a google search for "Tazer JLWranglerforum". A vast majority of the users on here use one.

Ahmad, here is the instruction manual for the Tazer Mini (which I too have). It will explain all of the functions. https://www.zautomotive.com/zpu/instructions/TazerJLMiniUserGuide1141.pdf

its a must if you go out in the desert, go to Ramy4X4 they will do it for you at a reasonable price

My understanding is that it just acts to cut the power to specific fuses.

Do you know which ones? I would like to minic by removing them and trying the impact before I do a kill switch.

Do you have a Tazer? Have you tried holding the "duck button" for five seconds?

hey, no I dont. Trying to save some money. Supposedly removing F106 or F100 does the job (then i will control that circuit form a switch inside the car).

Basically many people in the U.A.E do some version of this:



I can easily do it, I am just trying to see if others elsewhere are doing something like this.. Maybe in other countries your driving is not mostly sand.

The story is that holding the switch for 6 seconds does not kill the electronic stability full.

That looks like a lot of work with the potential for screwing things up when a Tazer will do that plus a whole lot more. A Tazer isn't perfect, of course, but you won't have to custom print parts like that.
