When I was replacing my radiator, I found this plug/sensor thingy just hanging loose behind my passenger side headlight. It looks similar to the ambient air temp sensor on the drivers side, but I don't see anywhere for it to go on the lower bumper grille to mimic the drivers side. I don't see anything obvious that is goes to, but other than that I haven't really looked too hard.

Can someone tell me what the heck this goes to? :idiot:

It pushes into a hole on the passenger side of your plastic air guide. The sensor measures ambient air temp from the center grille of the air guide, at the bottom portion of the front bumper.

The hole is there, just gotta look for it!

I already have an ambient temp sensor on the drivers side, so this is a second one??. And if that is correct, I don't have the lower center cover, it was missing when I bought the car and I haven't replaced it yet....

In that case, just let it dangle behind the foglight!

Thanks! I found the place on the air guide where it looks like it goes, so I'll see how that goes.
