No, this is the sensor that goes into the top back of the evaporator case. It senses the temperature in that box so that the car knows how much cold air to mix, I think. Removing the suede part on the passenger side allows one to see the connector, but the whole dash would have to be removed to get to the sensor apparently. I've searched on the board forever and I have yet to find a post that tells how to remove the whole instrument panel.
