When my zed was in for paint the body shop told me they saw a small sensor hanging down around the front - had a look and its the ambient temperature sensor. Don't remember seeing it before, I had the bumper off a few days before they did and didn't do anything with it, but they said they didn't touch it either. Maybe it was just tucked up somewhere....

 

Anyway, I can't for the life of my find where the little b*****d is supposed to go. Service manual shows under the crash bar, but I can't see anything that lines up with the dowl and hole.

 

Anyone got any good pictures of where it goes? Mines a 95 series 4 with auto AC, don't know if it ever changed through the years

Never knew about that one I know there is one in the roof lights.

 

I'm not sure either - as the ambient temp display was (so I thought) only relevant in series one models.

Series two onwards had a different climate control system, with more control over air direction. This dispensed with the ambient temp display in the AC pod - hence I thought later cars no linger needed the external sensor!

True, it is odd - I had read that they were only for early models, but the 95 FSM I have shows it. Though I think it's for USDM

Mine is a 1991 it’s under fog light support bar just above the red hose hanging down.

The Ambient temperature sensor lives under the plastic front bumper reinforcement bar.

The sensor in the roof is passenger cell temperature.

Thanks for the pictures - that's where I have been looking, and whilst there is a small screw hole there, there is no matching hole for the little dowel so it wouldn't sit flat. Ah well, its very hidden, so it will do.
