    How do you do it?

    Or should it reset itself?

    Help!

    it should reset itself, it works off the little sensor getting crushed - some people have reported that it can take a wee while to reset (last person quoted over 24 hours I think)

    I reset my rear one last night by just turning the key to the last stage before the engine starts and leaving it there until it went off. Only took a couple of minutes.
