I'm not sure I can help regarding your electrical, but let's clear up the facts so someone else may be able to jump in...

I'm assuming your dash looks like this:



If so, which button(s) are you pressing?

The right most buttons above the radio: the TCS and the StabiliTrack System buttons. My left most button is lit (4-Wheel High).

The 2nd button from the right is for the rear locking differential, not stabilitrak or TCS. It only engages at a stop in 4-lo. It's normal for the locking diff button to blink and turn off if you're not in 4-lo.

Hooah - roger that. However, the "SERVICE STAB SYS" and "TRACTION FAILED" messages are being displayed regardless of the buttons being pushed. (I have only 253 miles, so I haven't even driven the darn thing enough to even know all the buttons. The only driving of it I have done is basically from the port to the Auto Skills Center on my base.)

I dont know if this is related .
Considering it has no miles,battery troubles also and just off the boat.


I know when auto's and motorcycles are shipped the battery is usualy removed.( or removed by customs at some point)
I've heard of problems with newer autos after the battery is disconected to long.
It might have to be brought to the dealer to check it out.

Yeah, over the years I have heard of battery issues with shipped vehicles. Mine was on the boad for less than 3 weeks, so you would have hoped that it could have survived. Plus, I have heard the shippers disconnect the battery but that sounds time consuming and a pain for a boat load of vehicles. I am wondering if the battery remained connected and maybe discharged from parasitic load(s) on it--thus causing the battery to sulfate. Finally, I don't know the state of the battery before I received it, or before it was shipped.

I want to take the darn thing to the dealer, but being in Germany it is a challenge due to the distance and getting the time off (especially if they have to keep it a few days or order parts).
