Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ambient air temperature sensor:
- is located in front of the A/C condenser core near the center of the vehicle.
- contains a thermistor which measures the temperature of outside air as a resistance and sends that reading to the electronic automatic temperature control assembly.
