The low range light should come on when the TRANSFER case is in low ranger. I am guessing that the sensor in the t-case is crusty... I have the same problem with my '95 but it is the 4x4 light that doesn't work.

Check your connections before anything else. That light probably sees less use than any other component light in your truck. Even a serious off-roader who drives his truck as an everyday vehicle will use 4 Low only when crawling. At worst the bulb is easy to change. Merry Christmas.
