It should be the high oil temp alarm. One side to ground, the other usually to the low oil pressure alarm on the engine.

hello,,
to answer my question.....
i guess it is part of the alarm system for engine and trans.
it is linked to oil pressure sender also, but interesting thing is ....if it alarms,,it could be hi trans temp or low oil pressure or hi water temp.
interesting,,,and peice cost about 70 bucks...

By the time it gets hot enough to trip the temp switch the trans is usually done.
