Default Trans temp sensors

Could someone point me to where to/which one to buy. I found the one for the trans cooler for $43 at ab. That sound right?
I am having trouble finding the one on the transfer case. Anyone know where to find?

Had light a while back, took off sensors and cleaned them up. Worked for a while, but that b*+cH came on today.

Is there a mechanical set up that I can use? I would prefer that. Anyone done it?

With the light on, unplug one sensor at a time and see which one turns the light off..Worked for me in the past. Check transfer case fluid too

You can get this from L8 and tap a temp sensor in it.

Your exhaust is in the way on that upgrade.

That being said, of course I can get one cheaper for you.

Only, problem is that it will come on for like one minute then off and intermittently and sporadically

Thanks all. Couldn't find that little dude. Might try to figure out a mechanical set up first, but now I can find one when I fail at that

So my light came on today
So after replacing both temp sensors I have not had the light come back on, until now. I'm about 180 miles away from my house and it happens. I got out and did the quickest test that I could think of which was to unplug the leads to the transfer case. Light promptly went out.
My question is, if you take away the possibility of the wiring error causing the light, what would cause my transfer case to get hot? Low oil is not the issued. However, I do use the sender port as my fill level. Could I possibly have to much oil?
My vents are not clogged either.
Transfer case is supposed to be on the low end of the worry about list.
Any thoughts?
