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.

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
