New MC, blinking red light

Just got the car back from the shop. New calipers and MC installed. The red (B) light is blinking though. Does the new MC switch need to be reset when first put in...or is it a possibility that it has low pressure? Thanks

Cory

Cory......It should blink until you release the E-brake handle, with key in the on position or engine running. shop should have known to reset MC after installing!

Thanks guys.

I tried looking for a reset Button...but I couldn't find it. On the terminal where the wire connects there is a plastic looking thing that kind of looks like it could be a button...but it doesn't go in or out. How exactly to I reset it?

Thanks.

There should be a button on the warning switch (the part of the master cylinder that the wire(s) plug into) that is covered by a rubber nipple. Push on the nipple, and that should be pushing the button.
