oxs light on

[Michael Riebs]

Oh, dear, here we go again with people asking a question, and then flaming
those who attempt to be of assistance.

Ron, I suppose there is a good possibility that you could have replaced the
sensor *before* the light came on - thus seeing no need to pop the reset.
See, if it came on at 30, 60, and 90, then why did you replace it at 105?
That's 15 into the cycle. Therefore it stands to reason that perhaps the
light was NOT on, and you did NOT reset the counter.

Now, if you ask the list for help, don't jump down the throats of people who
attempt to give you that help. Steve didn't have the car there to diagnose,
neither did any of the rest of us. Therefore *all possibilities* will be
suggested when you ask for help. Now, why didn't you flame me, when I
suggested that something actually could be wrong with the sensor itself?!?

See, I just had mine replaced at 160 (or so), and now at 162, the sensor is
garbage, and I'm driving with it disconnected until I get time to replace
it.

What's wrong with folks these days - just so quick to anger and sarcasm.
What - you didn't get any last night?
