It will never turn off. Even if you turn the ESP off. Why would you want to turn it off? I think you can with a mechanics help. You won't be able to do it through the cockpit.

ESP is off when the yellow triangle on the dash comes on. Like S500 said, it will still intervene when you break traction, just in a less aggressive manner.

I push the button aand nothing happens, its like a dead switch.

Most likely you have got an instrument cluster coding problem. Some what a common problem.
