Default Can I add a traction control switch to my LS

I have a 2000 LS and i was wondering if it was possible to add a traction control button switch like the SS have. i had the center console top piece replaced and the new one was out of an SS and has the TC button, but im not sure if there is a plug in my wiring harness for it to connect to, or if the PCM will even register it. Any ideas?

Thanks

Just because you add the button won't mean you have traction control. I doubt the rest of the parts are in place to have this function. You could probably add it but it would be cheaper to find a car with it installed.

could someone please explain to me the benefits of having it off verses having it on? I have mine on all the time, should I not use it all the time?? please let me know, thanks

When you press the button traction control won't activate, even the system normally would in the given situation. The switch deactivates the possibility that it'll turn on.
