Hi Ellen,

crawl under the driver's side and look up next to the spare tire
clamshell.  You'll see a black box with a speedometer cable going to it
from the driver's front wheel and another speedometer cable going from
it up to the speedometer head in the dash.

Using a Phillips screwdriver or other suitable rod, push the reset
button until it clicks and you'll be good for another 60,000 miles.  The
reset button is recessed so it won't stick right out at you ... it'll be
in a hole.  On my '85 it's on the front (front is front is front) side
of the black box.
