Look at component location in RAVE

Don't think he'll find a temp switch for the 95. Only fitted 97 up.

So how would he get a gearbox overheat message?Don't think he'll find a temp switch for the 95. Only fitted 97 up.
Don't have a clue. But no gearbox temp sensor listed in component location table for any vehicle until 97. Unless i'm going blind. There has always been a transfer box sensor though. Item X108 gearbox temp switch only appears in 97. It's fitment for diesels is not shown in RAVE repair section, only one shown is petrol. My RAVE is 1999-2000 and there is no mention of the 99 on fitted fan either. So to be honest i am not sure what is going on.

Just checked and I definitely haven't got a sensor on the oil cooler, just to confirm the oil cooler for the auto box is on the n/s behind the front bumper? What I did find was a couple of wires going into a bit of black plastic, not a connector though, looks like a connector but without any holes, with the number 5606428 on a label attached to it, the wires are both blue and trace back to the loom, it was wrapped around one of the brackets by the cooler, any idea what that mite be? Ill have a look at rave and see what I can find
It may well be the sensor that has fallen off the cooler. Look for a plug with one Black/Purple wire and one Black wire between slam panel and power steering pump to right hand side of radiator that is the plug for the temp switch. Go to Rimmers site and enter part number ESR4330 in search box, press search you will get a photo of what you should be seeing. Maybe the attachment lands have been broken off it.

Congrats wammers go to the top of the class lol that is indeed what I found, how and where does it attach to the cooler? I was looking for a screw in type sensor
It should fasten to the cooler with two short screws.

That explains why mine came off then, the screw holes have snapped off my sensor, do you think if the sensor is actually bust it will give the message constantly? I've only had the message twice and both times seemed unlikely the box was even warm let alone hot, just thinking I can botch it back on temporarily but don't want to find out I really did have a gearbox problem that I've disguised

Buy a new one
The switch is normally open circuit. Makes when hot breaks when cold. Sounds like it maybe duff if it's causing message when not in contact with cooler. Fitting new would be only safe way to do the job. Get your wallet out.

If the switch is break normal closed hot. How do you work that one out?
