Winter Drive Button Not Working! Jun 11, 2007 23:48:20 GMT 11

Hey guys!

My "Winter Drive" button for my auto trans doesn't work! I guess I don't really need it but it might be helpful when i'm travelling the Alpine passes this winter! The Power Drive button works, and I've checked the bulb for the winter drive light, which works fine. Any ideas on what could be wrong??

Cheers
Mike
