Could be the wire repair. Always use factory parts that plug right in

O2s have to be hot (600 degrees) to function properly. A cold running engine would not ruin the sensor tho. The computer will not let it register if the coolant temperature sensor is faulty and reads low.

If the coolant temp sensor is good double check the wiring again.

I did and the light stays on still but once I had 2 wiers mix up one was the a/c and 02 the a/c wire was with the 02 and the 02 wire with the a/c could that of send a voltage to the computer and burn a wire or made a short to the 02 wire inside the computer
