I think I disconnected it accidently, because it doesn't read a temperature on the DIC anymore.

 

the little yellow round circle @ the base of the windshield.

 

take out the drivers side headlight, you will see it there. if you cant see the outside temp and all you see is 3 lil lines in the DIC, yer sensor is disconnected.

 

Yeah I was messing around with the windshield washer fluid connector and was yanking on wires to get the connector where I wanted it. I removed the drivers headlight and bracket, and put it all back, and no temp. So is the sensor in this area somewhere, or is it on the windshield?

 

lmao thats def. not it. its right behind the driver side headlight

 

u just answered your own question, if you messed with the headlight and bracket, chances are the sensor is loose or disconnected, yes, its behind the drivers side headlight.... not on the dash or base of the windsheild.............................

 

I'll have to recheck...thanks!

 

then what is that little yellow round circle???

and why would the put the temp senser behind a hot head light, with under hood temps???

 

because its not in direct sunlight which would give you a way off reading due to the surface temp. of the baking glass

 

thats your sensor for the autoheadlights to come on, when it gets dark the sensor relays that and kicks em on...

 

HUH??? the auto headlight sensor is in the dash, its the little bubble

 

what is the little yellow circle @ the base of the wind shield???

but a hot head light & under hood temps make for a better place to put that senser???

 

under hood temps are not going to go forward.
the sensor is ahead of the engine.

its also BELOW the "hot headlight", protected by the headlight bracket itself

it basically sits just above where your "cold air intake" sits....

 

its out of direct sunlight, its outside the cars interior, there is about 3-4 layers of metal between the headlight & the engine bay, so far mine has always been within 3*-4*

 

thats what he was talking about

 

is that bubble yellow??? NO I'm talking about the little, little yellow circle!!!

 

on the dash? inside the car?

 

Oh OK that sound better!! and mine I found to be the same 3°-4° diffrent, but do you know what the little YELLOW circle is, it's in the base of the wind shield.???

 

ok i thought he was referring to the bubble. thats what i meant reign

 

inside the car on the dash, close the the windshield?

do you have a pic, b/c i have no idea what you are talking about

 

the bubble is the autoheadlight sensor as was said above.

it detects when its dark enough outside and automatically puts your headlights on.

 

I got no pic's, but it's at the base of the windshield, in the windshield, not in the car but in the windshield, I think it might be an alignment mark or something like that??? If anybody finds out please let me know, it's been puzzling me sence I just found out that it's NOT the outside temp senser.

 

auto headlight sensor!

 

i have zero idea what you are talking about

time for a new windshield there bud

 

is that senser YELLOW??? NO!! is it IN THE WINDSHIELD??? NO!!! I know what that is I have to put a pice of paper over it to get the headlights to go on @ dusk time... I'll try to get a picture after work.
