Traction Control System
Hello,
I recently bought a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue Touring Sedan. It has been driving really good except the second I drive on snow.. The second I drive over the snow the car drives by itself from one side of the road to the next. And I truely believe that it is from the Traction Control SYstem... Now there isn't a button anywhere in the car to turn it off.. SO how can I turn it off or fix it?

My father had a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis and the traction control was a nightmare in the snow! But you could turn it off by pressing a button located next to the glove box. It was hidden behind the glove box door.
I did a little research on your vehicle and you should have an "off' button as well. Look for a button that has "Trac off" or "ETS". ETS stands for "electronic traction system". Check on your shifter handle or near it. There should be a button somewhere that will disable it.
