yea the button for 08 and 09 is right of the wheel below the hazards.
idk about older balts.
you know when you pull up the e-brake, the traction is off? well i have heard you can pull it up one click and it will be fine. but idk if i would personally do it...

put a switch to ground in between the ebrake ground switch and you will be able to turn off T/C with out pulling up on the ebrake

you need 2 wires...a switch and an alligator clip...and a good ground and a place to put your switch...took me 5-10 minutes to do
