hodgo Member 3 Member For: 12y 3m 9d Posted 17/11/12 11:13 PM Share Posted 17/11/12 11:13 PM Gday guys,First post and have been looking at an XR6T 2003 Ute for sale. 180kHas been a repairable write off & is now a Trayback ute.Have one question. On the bottom RHS there is a continuous warning light that stays on.Looks like a little turbo or similar ? Owner reckons it the traction control light.He says that you can get Ford to just turn the traction control back on with their software.I am not so sure. Ute seems to go fine with no obvious issues other than a slight bit of rust on the bulk head of the tray.What is the concensus here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA utes don't have traction control.It is the traction control symbol though, so there's some sort or electrical issue with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it is actually that light then, yes.I have no idea on prices. Check carsales for comparable models and km's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodgo Member 3 Member For: 12y 3m 9d Posted 18/11/12 06:58 AM Author Share Posted 18/11/12 06:58 AM MMmmm. So thanks guys for the input. Opted out on the tray back one and ended up getting another one a whole lot cheaper. But........it needs some work.So even if I have to drop another motor in Im not that fussed. So pretty happy with the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
