Got it!





Many thanks to David, Joel, Mike and Loren!  Mike told me the button was on the front side of the box, but David's description was the one that cinched it.  The button sticks out on the front of the box, the side that has the wires coming out of it that go to the speedometer.  It was actually really easy to see, once I got on the right side of the box and scraped off the road grime.  Used a smallish screwdriver to push it in.  I got an audible click on the second press.  It will be a great drive without that red light on!  Thanks again for all the help.

Ellen
