Look directly above your gas pedal, you'll see a black box with wires going into it. On the lower left hand corner is a screw with a collar. You need to unscrew it, and with a small screwdriver, or an awl, press in on the stop that's inside. You should hear a click. The O2 light is just there as a reminder to change the sensor in the exhaust. The black box is the counter that trips at around 30,000 miles, and energizes the light on the dash.
Which wires fried? Do you have Brad's wiring diagram for your car? It would tell you where the problem is.
