if 15
that is a temp light operated from 2 senders. one is on the transfer case and the other is on the trans oil cooler (right side) sensors can go bad, but 1st thing 1st check the level of fluids.
an easy way to determine which is your trigger......next time its on, crawl under and pull the 2 leads off the tcase sender. if the light goes out, that one is yo problem

Thanks guys, I was talking about transmission temperature warning lamp (red). I am sure the fluid level is ok as I was forced to completely replaced it when it started so it can not be the fluid. So Dusty 1, what are the two leads were you talking above and what is the tcase as well? Pictures will really help. Thanks in a million

Once again thanks Dusty 1, I will check my oil temperature switch and oil cooler sensor but I have a feeling it is my oil temperature switch as my last scan did not say anything about oil cooler sensor but I will scan again to be very sure.
