Normally closed / normally open

*I've spent some time searching the board but couldn't find the answer to this anywhere*

I have a Traction Control switch on my 2004 GTO that is a "normally open circuit" or so I've been told. That is, the traction control on the vehicle is always activated unless I push the button to deactivate it.

Is there a way through relay/s I can reverse this so it's is always off and I have to activate the switch to turn the traction control on?

Thank you in  advance.

What is the difference?

You still have to push the button.

You can use a relay to do the job but, you need to find out if it is Normally OPEN 100% or not.

I don't like the TC on at all times because it's activated at the strangest of times. The slightest break in traction and I lose power under my feet for a split second. This is frightening, believe it or not.

 I understand your point of having to push the switch either way, but I'd rather have the TC off everytime I start the vehicle and drive like this, rather than have it on. I don't mind having to turn the TC on when need be, but I live in a climate that ses maybe one week of inclimate weather a year so I rarely if ever need it.

I've checked with GM and the local dealership and they have assured me 100-percent that it's a "normally open" circuit.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
