    I'm glad you answered that. I didn't feel like going down to the garage in 6 degrees and looking.
    If it's that it has probably got wet. The switch is under the fan on a pipe going across the front. Give it a hit with WD40.

    thanks

    had to laugh when you you all suggested trans, only yesterday i found two plugs that looked like they went together so i did put them together and it did lead to a switch on a pipe under the fan so what would be causing it to over heat if the WD40 doesnt work.

    the picture looks like a square container with a fluid level and a fountain of fluid squirting up and a cap on the top right corner

    Sounds like a coolant level switch indicator, orange or red??

    Tha one below the trailer symbol is auto overtemp, but that's an 86, so it may of changed to 90, I can;t recall exactly, but think it may be the case

    Have you checked the coolant level?
