Question Cant turn off Traction Control

Hey Guys, new to the forum, definitely a sweet place

Anyways, I bought a 2002 Z (2003 for you Americans?) a month ago and one thing that bugs me is that when I press the TCS button, it doesn't come up with the "TCS off" button on the dash.

After a bit of research I saw that when you turn the key on, the "TCS off" and "slip" lights should both come up very briefly. Mine doesn't have either of those lights come up at all; as you can see by this video.


I had a look at the fuse box in front of the battery and all of the fuses look absolutely fine, is the problem in the fuse box tucked behind the battery? Im a little stuck here.

cheers

Bulb? if it don't come on with light check. pull the gauges and look at the circuit board. If the bulb is bad you should be able to see it. Would require either soldering in a new bulb (good candidate for a LED swap) or new gauges depending on damage. Or it could be a wire powering that portion of the board, I haven't taken my gauges apart so maybe one of our resident micro-electronics experts can help out?
