Saab 900s automatic has somehow got itself stuck in "Winter" mode. This is
the little button that looks like a snowflake down near the gearshift. So,
instead of having the choice of normal/sports mode, I'm labouring away in
"winter", which does something to the gearbox to prevent wheelspin on ice
and snow, apparently. Could it be that the the little button needs
replacing? or is there a series of moves required to get it out of winter
and back to normal?
Any input appreciated!!

Regards,
Nichollette

I'd be inclined to get into the workings behind the switch and make sure it
hadn't dropped off or just got stuck. If it's where I think it is, I think
the gear stick surround pops off quite easily, exposing the area underneath.
If the button has just got stuck, I think just unplugging the switch from
the electric block behind it should do the trick; that, or the other way
round ... As in you'll need to bridge the contacts.

Good luck,
