The arrow only comes on when lower than drive or the winter button is pushed.

When the TRACS button is pressed, Traction Control is turned off, and the light "TRACS" on the instrument panel is lighted. If you can't see this light with Key-on / Engine-Off, the bulb might be burnt.

Traction Control works for low speed, 30 mph or less I think.

An issue with the ABS module will cause it to stop working.

I have seen a few go bad. But starting to see the 94-95 modules go bad as well.
