The OXS light is triggered by a mileage counter, not the actual status of the OXS. Replace the OXS anyway...get the generic version from the Bus Depot, not the expensive one that's the same thing with an expensive connection. The OXS light is reset by pushing a button on the black box between the odometer cable coming from the left front wheel and the one connecting to the odometer. I was able to see my box clearly when dropping the spare tire, but I doubt that's necessary. -Karl Karl & Kristina Bloss, Trexlertown, PA '00 Wannabusser "Julia" '87 Weekender "Bev" - 201K Miles '85 Westy Camper "Fred" - 39K Miles http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw - vanagon@makarov.com VW Shop List: http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/vwshops PA/NJ/DE/MD area VW bus "group" http://www.enter.net/~bloss/vw/pavanagon LINUX - for IQs higher than 98
