I started a thread about this on another forum. Do all Fiesta STs come with the ESC button? My car was purchased in NC and does not have an ESC button. Just a blank piece where the button would be. My car has been at the dealer for 2 days and they are trying to work on fixing it. It says advance track on the window sticker. It's at the corporate level as of now. Anyone else have this problem? I sure would like to turn traction control off someday...

Ya I was having a hard time posting the pic from my iphone. Does the link work to view the pic? I am gonna give them a chance to fix it . They said they had some ST specific service guys driving around to try and find another fiesta st with the button. I told them to just search on cars.com and look at the pics of other cars instead of driving to see it. I looked up at least 30 other fiesta STs and there is one other one I found without the button. Also they have a Focus ST on their lot without the ESC button... Crazy.

I guess the next step is for me to take apart the center console and hope for some wiring to be there. Then maybe the dealer will just order the button. It beats waiting on them to try and decide if it belongs on the car. They are saying they have no other STs to compare it to.

Haha just figured it out...

Not to mention simple things like getting stuck in sand, snow, or mud. Wheels lose power if they spin.

Ok so i got the plastic around the shifter half way off. Not trying to break it. Does the actual oval part around the fan and temerature button just pop straight out?

OK, after taking the center console apart I may have found a way to narrow down the problem without the dealer's help. I snapped some pics of how many wires and how many pins are in the switch. I just need someone on here to show me pics of theirs to compare and then I can take it to the dealer to order what's needed. I have 4 pins in the left heated seats/ no ESC switch and 5 wires running to it. Anyone with heated seats and ESC know how many pins and wires they have? Thanks!

Went to the dealership yesterday. They finally agreed that my car came from the factory without an ESC button. They have replaced the switch with the correct one. The tech said he had to go in with a laptop and program it to work. Its working great! Problem solved. Now I gotta go back and get them to fix my driver side mirror that somehow came loose and shakes when driving... Hope I have no further problems.
