Outside temperature sensor location?
 

As in the one that tells you what the outside temp is when you push the button.

Anyone? Bueller?

Right beside your vin plate on the windshield. It's a little black circle.

The sensor on the dash is the "sunlight sensor" used for the HVAC computer.

The thermo sensor to give the outside temp is I think behind the front bumper cover? I've seen it, just can't recall where it is right now???

That doesn't make any sense; that's got to be the sunload sensor. I think we're looking for the ambient sensor, which is usually under the front bumper.

EDIT: ^^ You beat me!

And what does the sunload sensor do?

Re: Outside temperature sensor location?
 

Air freshens the cabin when the sun drops a load.

EDIT: NON-BS answer - Used by the A/C to detect how much light the cabin is getting and adjusts HVAC to compensate

It tells the system to bump the temperature up or cool it down a notch so it will stay closer to what you set the temp to. It gets the info into the climate system.

Damn... I had suspicions my car was smarter than me...

:lol:

Re: Outside temperature sensor location?
 

do a search! it should be in the front bumper! noone remember it why do you need to know? to polish it and get better temp reading? :lol:

lol, there're some really high-end luxurious car way even smarter than you and our SVXi. they're equipped with infrared thermometer sensors at different locations under your butt and somewhere near your head and body to better measure each passenger's body temperatures to provide the best air-conditioning/climate control experiences, ever. :cool:

It is mounted right in front of the condensor.

No, just pure morbid curiosity. I know the damned thing is good for a ballpark temp reading at best, but I have no desire to get in there and tinker with it.
