Narrative:
Approximately 16000 ft, the tail compartment overheat light came on. Notified center that we needed to level off and work on a problem. Emergency procedure was accomplished down to turning the high press bleeds off. Light went out. We then continued on our rteing and contacted dispatch to check the WX in iah. It was such that we could not be sure of remaining clear of icing conditions, so we returned to mia. A new aircraft was ready for us when we got to the gate in mia and departed again for iah. This problem was a repeat for this aircraft. It had the same problem the day before. We did not have an overweight landing and did not declare an emergency.
