If it is the "reminder"... (m) (archive)

...as RonW said, it's probably unplugged because it makes this repetitive and slightly annoying clicking sound as you drive. All it does is count the miles and send a signal when those miles are up. Since it is only a reminder, and not a "sensor" of the actual state of the O2 sensor, many people unplug it to shut it up.

Hey is that the 2' x 2' box with what looks like an small electric motor sticking out of it?

The item I am refering to is located behind the drivers kick pannel just above your right lower leg and to the right of the steering column with an electrical plug in it.

What ever this thing is I found mine unhooked???
Reinstalled the little plastic plug and have noticed no differance in anything. What is it and why would someone unhook it?

Thanks

Greg

Remove the driver's kick panel and look to the right of the steering column. There should be a weird looking unit with a button. Push the button. If that doesn't work, there may be a fuse in the speedometer that needs to be replaced.

I just replaced my O2 sensor and I need to know how to shut off the replace o2 sensor light where the seatbelt and oil and lights reminder are at.
