Cabin Air Temperature Sensor Location?
Does anyone know where the following sensor is located? I have the sensor just have no clue as to where to install it.
SENSOR. Temperature Cabin Air.
Stock Code 55111178AC
Description: SENSOR. Temperature Cabin Air. . "Instrument Panel Parts Module"+"Air Conditioning w/Auto Temp Control". Required: 001
I upgraded my AC/Heat control module to an Automatic Temperature control unit, and I believe this sensor will make it work better. It is working OK now, but could work better in certain situations.

Great info. Thanks. Any ideas of what it wires into? I suspect I'll find a wiring harness behind the cover.

Yes, I'm very interested in all that is applicable for this Auto A/C installation. I've already ordered the Master A/C Module per the comments made here, but have yet to pick it from the dealer. If this becomes much more involved I believe I'm out.

I popped off that panel in hopes of seeing a wiring harness dongle there but didn't see one. That sensor that you ordered, does it have any wiring on it or is it just a sensor that screws in right behind the slotted part of that panel?

The sensor has a spot on the back that a harness plugs into. I'll take some pics tomorrow.
