I don't use cruise, so that's no biggie.
Was the heavy steering and rev limit only if you removed the underhood fuse then? And no, the dash button does allow the wheels to spin freely, and thus maybe it actually DOES help drive ability, just not going sideways.. I know that's what happened with my VDC button on my Si. Overall driveability improved. May be the same way. So then if you want to go all out, pull the under dash fuse and go sideways. Definitely doing this next snow we get.. |

Dunno, I mean, I have no valid proof that it DOES do anything. Just saying that it "feels" different. The car feels a little more edgy and maneuverable, rather than tight and struggly. May affect the 5mt's less? But for the CVT, it definitely feels this way. But that's all I can go on with no on-board monitoring..

Well, I've driven my car around a bit with the fuse pulled. It's been snowing a lot recently and the roads have been pretty slick, the ABS does me no favors in the snow and driving around in empty parking lots has been pretty awesome. Man does this car drift well.
Anyway, what I wanted to comment on was the change in handling after removing the fuse. I think the throttle profile is changed when the fuse is pulled. I know the car learns how you drive and adapts to your driving style with the throttle profile. When I remove the fuse, the throttle profile changes, it seems more linear to input. I'm pretty sure removing the fuse deactivates whatever profile is stored for your specific driving habits, but I can't be certain. I also feel like, for some reason, I can feel the change of road conditions better without those safety features active, but that may be just because I'm paying more attention and not being lazy. |

Looks like a perfect fit for the "FUN" switch. According to posts in the "Adding Switches To Dimmer Panel" thread this switch is from a 2014 Forester.

You could wire it to a normally closed relay. The button will interrupt power to the system.

i always forget about relays.... normally closed would be power is going through the fuse right? so when you press the switch, it would open and cut the power. but once you released the button it would close again, correct? how would that be any different than a momentary switch? been looking up so many different things today, i can't keep anything straight in my head right now... |

I've wondered that. How much current does the system require? I built up a deactivation switch but I'm weary to leave it on there long simply because I'm not sure the solder and switches I built in are actually capable of handling the voltage and load.

the fuse we are disabling is 7.5amps and the factory vdc switch is normally closed, when you press the switch it opens the circuit

Then a normally open relay will do.
