Not the TC button, the 12 volt wire for the lamp is controlled by the ECU and will dim with the rest of the lights.

What I was suggesting if you want power to your power adapter right next to the traction control, the main battery power cable is inches from this location. I'm not sure what the best method to tap a 0 gauge wire would be, but if I were to do that, I would remove the red power cable from the power adapter, cap the end of the original wire, then run an inline fuse adapter probably 20 amps to the main battery cable.

I might cut away part of the insulation on the top of the battery cable, solder on the 12 gauge wire, coat it in liquid tape, followed by wrapping it in electrical tape.

You might be able to punch a small hole in the shielding of the battery cable, tin the end of a wire and then shove the wire in, then tape it up.

Just some of my ideas, but I don't like cutting my factory wires.
