Did about 180 miles today and started out the day with the light off then coming on for about 30 minutes. Then all the way home no light was on. I was able to toggle between traction control and the other nanny as well. No matter what, I’m going in on Friday cause I want to get this figured out.
Traction Control light stays on

Once my light goes on, I can't toggle anything! It locks up.

Mine goes back-and-forth. Once I turn it off and the light is off, I can toggle between the two. Sometimes only the one. The fact that everything works sometimes, nothing works most of the time, and some of them work intermittently, makes me think it is a sensor, switch, or wiring issue.
Or I could just say "somethings wrong". 🤪
This reminds me of the brake issue sensors I had on my 2016. Once the sensors were replaced all good.
Going to leave it to the people that are smarter than me on Friday.

Just another reason to not upgrade. Same old issues.

Dealer today. OF COURSE NO traction control lights allll the way there and allll the way home. NO codes in the computer - like it never happened.
Result: We have a record of your visit and should it happen again we will cover it.
The only thing they mentioned was that my rear tire is not down to the marker tabs but very close. They said the system may have been working properly in that the tire doesn’t have as much traction so thus the light .
But if that’s correct then why no lights today? And today I was solo and she seemed to be running a bit faster for some reason 🤭.The ghost still rides with us...

SoCal hope it's one of the 'friendly' ghost's....

Hope so too! Having the nanny's off is not really a bad thing though!

MAY have found my ghost…
We jumped in today for a ride to the mountains. Immediately the traction control light comes on… screw it - it is what it is.10 miles down the road at a stop light the person following us pulled up next to us at the stoplight and says that we don’t have any brake lights. I pull over. All fuses are good. Running lights on, turn signals/flashers all work. Only thing to check is the mechanical brake switch.
Disconnect both wires, touch together and break lights work. Bad switch. For all that have the sling mods mechanical brake set up here is the replacement switch you need. Amazon will deliver tomorrow.Not sure if this is the cure or a separate issue but an issue all the same. New rear tire will go on on Wednesday. After all this is complete hopefully the light will go away. If not both still need to be done.
Side note- this switch is not water proof or so it seems. I will do some sort of sleeve or protective cover on the new one.Any brake switch will also work from the auto supply store you just have to fab a bracket. It will take you about 30 minutes if you have a hack saw and a drill motor

Here’s a thread on the NAPA brake switch that a lot of Slingshot owners run:

Thanks Tripod I cannot remember where all of the stuff is. I have a pile of bookmarks on this stuff.

Thanks - I got one today but it is to long and the bracket bolt is in the way. For 8 bucks saving all the “make it fit” issues looks good to me. This is the one I got and it does work but like I said it is too long.

No, this is not the right one

I got to trouble shoot the Mood Chaser LED lights on the rear wheel. Don't know how long they been out as I can't see them while in the driver's seat. My son and Grandson took Sally for a spin tonight and that is when I noticed it. Does anyone have a idea what voltage they use to light them. I could unplug from the control unit and apply voltage and see it they come on.

I had the Haltec ECU always had that light on!
You get used to seeing it and it doesn't bother you much

As long as you knew you had brakes

When I drove a county school work van it was well beyond it's time to be put out to pasture but they don't like to spend money on vehicles they don't have to drive. Well the O2 sensor light kept coming on. I would take it to the transportation dept. and they would have it a half a day. when I picked it up the light would be off, two blocks down the street it was back on. After a couple months of this they put a piece of black electrical tape over the light. It never got fixed.

Here’s a thread on the NAPA brake switch that a lot of Slingshot owners run:
Great thread! I thought the switch had to be 90 degrees - guess not. I think the key here is to waterproof the switch. I am going to install the one from Amazon that shows up tomorrow WITH shrink sleeve with hopes it will last longer. I can see how my washing could have compromised the unit. 8$ No brainer.
