2018 F-250 6.7L Crew Cab 4x4
2013 Dodge Charge R/T Daily Driver/Beater - All original 208K miles and counting
Sold - 04 Marauder, Silver, Dark Interior, Factory Sunroof.

4.10 FRPP gears awaiting install (on extended hold).
I have attached the scematic.
Vin goes to a switched power source (powered when key on, but not acc). I used fuse #14.
Vout connect to the grey wire going to the traction control switch.
The triangle connection goes to the black wire next to the grey wire (there are 2 black wires going to the switch - I think either would work but I have not checked).
Parts list:
Board - 1 needed - Mouser P/N 854-SB300 (www.mouser.com)
Capacitors - 1 to 4 needed (C1) (I used 2)- Mouser P/N 647-UVR1H101MPD1TA
Transistors - 2 needed(Q2&Q3) - Mouser P/N 512-KSC1845PTAQ
Diode (rectifier) - 1 needed (D1) - Mouser P/N 512-1N4004
Resistor - 1 needed (R2) - 10 KOHM 1/10 Watt minimim
Resistor - 1 needed (R3) - 220 KOHM 1/10th Watt minimum
The circuit basically holds down the button for a fixed time then releases. The button is still active, so in bad weather you can turn it back on. The more capacitors (wired in parallel) the longer it holds the button. each capacitor should give about 1.5-2 seconds of button push. I used 2 for about 4 seconds. If the button is held for more than 15 seconds, the light goes out and the button no longer works so do not exceed 6 capacitors. I will post pictures as soon as I get them downloaded.

pretty cool, i like making little dohickeys like this
One important note. I ended up adding a 3rd capacitor after about 6 months of use. The number of capacitors determines how long the button is "held in". Most of the time 2 was enough, but I eventually had to add a 3rd to make it 100% reliable.

Damn boys,...
All this over choosing to hit a button?
Good stuffs!
Mike.
Why that is a piece of work. Nothing better than being able to rotate tires. Time to take orders for a production run.
2004 marauder black purchased new. Sold 9/16 at 297,000 miles. Still ran strong didn't burn a drop of oil.
2003 marauder black 28,000 miles all stock. Garage Queen.
2004 marauder red daily driver.
Maybe it would work to put a momentary relay tied to the seatbelt switch, so when you buckle up it turns the traction control off.

Struggling with the same size tire problem, but what if you have a car with no Traction control?
