STOP Warning light

I have a 1999 1.8 306 XS, on leaving work the other night the STOP warning light appeared, this is a new car and I panicked. I contacted peugeot and they said it should be okay to drive after dismissing problems it could be.
After leaving my car for approx two hours I went to drive it at about 9:30 last night, so the engine was cold, I started the car and the STOP light came on, so did the engine fan? could this be the problem? If so any solutions?
Cheers

Hi
Check you havent blown a fuse in the fuse box first & then check the
Brown 2 pin plug next to the thermostat, Unplug it, clean it with some WD40 or similar, pin the terminals tighter with a small screw driver & plug it back on & report back.

Haven't had the car long, little more than a week. Which fuses should I check, manual isn't clear. Also where abouts is the plug located?
Cheers

There is a Brown, a Blue & a Green plug next to the thermostat in the engine compartment, Its the brown one you want.
I cannot help with the fuse im affraid, I dont have access to a 306 or manual to check.

have you checked the fluid levels? the brake reservoir, the engine coolant and oil. it may sound silly but its overlooked alot

Finally had a look at it myself, the wires were at full stretch so just gave it some slack and pushed the sensor and hey presto....
Cheers help
