So if the last guy turned it off at, say, 32,000 miles the next time it could come on would be 62,000 miles? I didn't know that. I had figured that there was a mechanical gizmo in there that tripped a relay of some kind and the reset button reset the relay, not the "gizmo" which mindlessly kept turning toward the next 30k mile mark. Somethihg to keep in mind. I think I drove some 1500 miles with the light on before I found the %#!@#! switch.
