96rs, I cant find that switch. Where is it?

 

i think if you put ur head all the way down near the floor and look up .. u should see it .. thats how i found my button on my 94 ... its a little button and u hold it down until the maint req goes away

 

Should be right under the dash on the right-hand side. Hold for a few seconds and it should reset.

R T F M ?

 

OK, bear in mind I am trying to be very polite, but this question has come up so many times in the past, and seems to pop up every month or so.

RTFM stands for Read The F***ing Maunal, excuse me for the bluntness, but this information is very clearly indicated in the owner's manual, yet it seems a lot of people choose not the read it, if not at least quickly to know what topics the fine factory owner's manual covers.

Professionals in every industry such as mechanics, pilots, astronuts follow the manual or at least use the manual for reference when they come acorss a problem, can we as a group of automotive enthusists do the same? I can understand an average individual who doesn't know better, but not from someone interested enough to be on this group.

 

i dont have a freakin manual, or else i would not ask!!! I already checked underneath the dash and cant find that switch. Some of the wires underneath was moved around for the turbo timer but that shouldnt effect it. Just wanted to know what the general location of it is, and how it looked like.

all i seem to find is bundle of wires, nothing that resembles a switch. Read the manual isnt really any help.
oh wait a minute guys, wheres the location of the manual.

The button is pretty easy to find. It's right under the dash to the right of the wheel. Not far underneath, but right on the edge. Im not sure exactly how to explain it, but if you feel around you should'nt have a problem. Let me know if you can't find it.

 

Sitting in the drivers seat, reach with your right hand to just pass the edge of the lower dashboard to the right of the steering wheel, there should be a rectanglular module with a push button switch on it facing down.

You need to hold the switch for a few seconds with the igniton switch on, it will then reset to off until the mileage builds up again.

The owner's manual "should be" either in the glove box or with the vehicle information package that also include a spare key, warranty and service interval suggestions.
