Water Temp Warning Light - Oxs Sensor Warning Light

["Marc Getty" <marc@getty.net>]

Hi Koabi,

I used to have the constant blinking warning light on my 16v, for more
then a year. But a few weeks ago I replaced my radiator with a brand new
one from Adirondack, a new low temp fan switch, and I also put in the
true blue phosphate free coolant that I bought at the dealer for ~$12 a
gallon. One of these fixed the constant blinking problem, don't know
which, but it never ever blinks anymore!

As soon as I the flashing water temp warning light went away, my oxs
sensor light lit up. Where the hell is the button that I have to press
to make this thing go away? I can't find it for the hell of me!
